Alia has tweeted a video of the making of the song in the recording studio, which shows her being trained by A.R. Rahman, while director Imtiaz Ali looks on in anticipation. She is also seen confessing that she feels nervous singing for this long for the first time in her life.

Music maestro A.R. Rahman was quoted saying, "We have this lullaby, Sooha Saha in Highway. Imtiaz (director of the film) said Alia has a great voice and I didn't trust him. Then she learned the song and sang to me and I was pretty impressed with her natural ability too. We guided her a little bit to perfect the singing. She did it twice and then we got it almost right and now it sounds great."

Alia spoke about her first singing experience and said, "It was unreal. I am a bathroom singer but to have the opportunity to sing a song composed by Rahman sir was unbelievable...This film is so close to my heart not just for acting but for singing too now!"

Alia Bhatt-Randeep Hooda starrer Highway is slated to release worldwide on February 21, 2014.
