Looking forward to the prospect of this exceptional project, Shridhar Subramaniam, managing director Sony BMG says, "We have been associated with Strings for over five years now and have released great stuff like Dhaani and Najanay Kyu. Now a part of this longstanding relationship is John with Koi Aanay Wala Hai and that’s truly a matter of pride for us. The music and the video are truly exceptional. So we’re very sure of a great response to this one."

The music of the album takes a lot of inspiration from contemporary British rock and music from 60s and 70s period. It features eight energetic tracks composed by the duo Faisal Kapadia and Bilal Maqsood. Both Faisal and Bilal have sung in the album they believe it’s their best work so far. The album is bound to generate phenomenal response to its great music and amazing video.
