The album was promoted by using the song "Meri Kahani". This song is about nostalgia, old memories and childhood. The Punjabi song "Mae Ni" depicts the emotion like a folk song. "Joug" is a song about having lost everything that was precious to one. Piano is used in the song "Mann Hota Hai" and it is a simple composition.[2]
