Production

According to Sai Abhyankkar, the song was made during one of his casual composing sessions. He made around seven to eight songs in eight days and he felt that Adesh Krishna's lyrics perfectly complemented his lyrics and decided to make "Katchi Sera" an official song. The song is a mix of folk and jazz music. Sai Smriti also performed for the song on the phone in their living room. Abhyankkar subsequently approached Think Indie and they agreed to produce the song. For the music video, Abhyannkkar was inspired by Bruno Mars' "Leave the Door Open" and felt that the song was lush due to the music video compared the song's audio. He was insistent with the music video's director Ken Roysen to make it raw and rustic. Abhyankkar also proposed the idea of a hook step for the music video, which was choreographed by Anusha Viswanathan and performed by Samyuktha Viswanathan.
