Cerejo is glad that in a nation obsessed with Hindi film music, the video has found wide acceptance. "India is Bollywood-driven. So, I'd probably be more talked about if I had composed a Bollywood song. But, this song has brilliantly put the focus on the hospitality of the Kashmiris. I'm happy it has been accepted with open arms."
The video has been helmed by director Amit Sharma while the lyrics have been penned by Shah Faesal. Sung by Vibha Saraf and Mudassir Ali, Warmest Place On Earth features the Kashmiri instrument, rabab. "The rabab player featured in the video is the legendary Kashmiri musician, Noor Mohammad," says Cerejo, adding that he was happy to hear that Mufti liked the track. "I couldn't make it for the launch, but I heard that the chief minister's eyes welled up on seeing the video."
