When asked why did he zero down on Ali for this track, Pakala tells us: 'Javed Ali is full of soul when he sings, so I thought his voice be the best for this song."

Saathiya expressed the emotions of a lover his beloved and what means to her.
For Pakala, it was important to retain the passionate and loud expression of love in all three versions of the song. Therefore, he considers the chorus the strength of the track.

"There is a difference when you say you love a person ?in a soft manner as compared to when you scream your lungs out and say that you love them," he explains.

?Pakala, who has earlier composed for film's such as 'Kshanam', 'Krishna And His Leela' and 'Thimmarusu' adds, "I think love is an emotion which would be so beautiful when echoed with a beautiful musical shout out because I feel there is more expression and joy in it. So, the most appealing thing about this song for me would be the chorus."

'Major' features actor Adivi Sesh in the lead role, where he will be essaying the life of 26/11 fallen soldier Sandeep Unnikrishnan. Directed by Sashi Kiran Tikka, the movie has been shot in Hindi and Telugu whereas dubbed in Malayalam. The film, which also stars Sobhita Dhulipala, Saiee M Manjrekar,Prakash Raj and Revathy in pivotal roles, will release on June 3.
