The team of Kalank has released another foot-tapper from the album, today. Titled First Class, the song registers Zafar`s (Varun Dhawan) entry in the period film, directed by Abhishek Varman. The track, penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and choreographed by Remo D`Souza, was shot over a period of four-five days with a few days of rehearsals.

Pritam, who has composed the song said, `The idea was to come up with a track that feels like a retro number from the 50s. We had to create a fun, mohalla song which has masti and mazak with a beautiful underlying layer of emotion. Striking that balance in terms of lyrics and the tune was challenging. It felt amazing when we finally cracked it.`

Set in Hira Mandi, First Class presents nuances of Varun`s character with a subtle play of lyrics in a light-hearted manner.

Elaborating on this, Pritam said, `The character is being introduced to the audience; he talks about a lot of things he feels, sees and experiences around him, but believes `sab first class hai.` That`s how we got the title of the song. While I can`t reveal the relevance of this number in the plot, I can just say that it takes the narrative ahead.`

Varun, who enjoys dancing thoroughly, relished filming the number. Pritam recalled the time when the actor first heard the track. `Varun loves songs that have a fun vibe. In this case, he also liked the kind of sound we created. It`s that rare mix of Indian instruments - we`ve emphasised on using live dholkis and dhols. It actually felt like I was a composer in the Partition era because I was recording the sound with so many live instrumentalists,` the composer recalled.
