Early life
Pritam was born in Kolkata into a Bengali family. Pritam is the son of Prabodh Chakraborty, who runs a music school for children. Pritam gained his early training in music from his father and learned to play the guitar while still in school.
After completing his schooling at St. James' School and college education at Presidency College, he went to a music school. At Presidency he was the Social Services Secretary of the Students Union run by the Independents' Consolidation (IC). Pritam joined a Bangla band, Chandrabindoo. Before that he formed another band with his Presidency batchmates, called "Jotugriher Pakhi". They even have a cassette released to their credit at that time. In January 1993, Pritam joined the Film and Television Institute in Pune to undertake a course in sound recording and sound engineering. During this time, he was offered a chance to compose background music for a film by Hungarian filmmaker Istvan Gaal. He also learned African music from musicologist Kedar Avati.
Career
Having completed his education, Pritam Chakraborty moved to Mumbai to pursue a career in Bollywood. During his stay in Mumbai, he began composing ad jingles, and became friendly with a number of other young men struggling to make it big, like Shantanu Moitra, Rajkumar Hirani, Sanjay Gadhvi and Chandrajeet Ganguly, also known as Jeet, who played the guitar with Anup Jalota.
Pritam got his first break when Gadhvi was signed on to direct Tere Liye and he, in turn, signed on his friends Jeet and Pritam as music composers. Though the music was well received, the film sank at the box office. However, in 2002 Yashraj Films signed Gadhvi up to direct Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, for which the Jeet-Pritam duo once again composed the music. All the songs from that movie were chartbusters, and the duo had hit the big time.His music comprises various kinds including Indian classical music and western influences. Pritam was then actively involved in mentoring and judging new talent on Zee TV's singing competition show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009.

The lyrics of the song "Race" by Pritam convey a message about the intense and competitive nature of life. The repeated lines "Race is on my mind, Race is in my soul, Race is in my life, My heart is racing" emphasize the fast-paced and challenging environment we find ourselves in.
The phrase "Nasha tera, nasha nashila hai" can be interpreted as experiencing a strong addiction or intoxication, possibly referring to being deeply consumed by ambition or desire. The lines "Allah duhai hai, Betabi chaai hai, Muskil judai hai, Haan tere pyar mein" suggest that in the pursuit of one's goals and desires, there is an element of restlessness, difficulty, and separation from loved ones.
The lyrics also touch upon the burning desires and yearnings of the heart, symbolized by the line "Hasrato ki jalan, Im burning, Like the Fallen for never." This could mean that the singer is willing to sacrifice everything for the fulfillment of their desires, even to the point of feeling consumed by them.
The verse "Fasalon se miley, We don't want to live this way, Zindagani meri, Live for you everything" hints at a longing for a life where they can be free from the constraints of societal expectations and truly live according to their own desires. The lines "Teri hi khwaab hai, Teri hi pyaas hai, Never feeling down, As long as you're around" further emphasize the deep connection and reliance on the love and support of a significant other.
Overall, the lyrics of "Race" convey a sense of ambition, desire, and the fervor to achieve one's goals, even if it means facing difficulties and sacrifices. The mention of Allah in the song may signify a belief or surrendering to a higher power during the challenging journey of life.
