The current video is based on a live track performed by the current band members of Nepathya. The live audio is from Nepathya’s Butwal show of 25th February 2017. The visuals used are from Nepathya 's open air live performances in Kalika School - Butwal, Tundikhel - Kathmandu and Pokhara Stadium, it said in the statement. “We have come a long way since this song was recorded. Looking at the pictures from our first album, makes me nostalgic and realize how I have aged,” Amrit shared. “We were in our mid 20s and now we are approaching 50. With time my hair has grayed, but it is very humbling to see our listeners have consistently stayed and grown with us during this journey. Without them, we would not have come so far” he added.

We have tried to acknowledge all of them in this video' said Kiran Krishna Shrestha of nepalaya, the promoters of Nepathya, as stated in the statement.
