Her song “Aisa Na They,” with music composed by Sampath, explores the theme of a relationship that has lost its passion. Despite this, the lively sounds of flutes and mandolins infuse the song with a sense of optimism. The Hindi lyrics, written by Amitabh Bhattacharya, express uncertainty about the status of love: “Is my love for you gone? / Who knows? / You are like that / We too are not like that / That's what you can do / Not like before.”
