Talking about the song, Asees Kaur shared, "Khalsa Sajaya comes from a very personal space of faith. I grew up singing Shabads in Gurudwaras, so devotional music has been my school of music while growing up. This is my first as a composer, also a humble tribute to Khalsa, and releasing it on Baisakhi makes it even more special."
