The song comes in the narrative structure during the final moments of the titular character played by Diljit Dosanjh.

Imtiaz told the source: “For me, the magical moment was when Rahman sir in the middle of the night said, ‘Let’s put the lights off and light the candles’. He then went on the piano. There was Rahman sir, me and Irshad (Irshad Kamil, the lyricist), and we were discussing a situation.”

“That’s how Bida Karo came up in Amar Singh Chamkila. Magically, Irshad, who prefers going home early, wrote the song then and there. The whole experience was something else,” he added.
