Composers Javed-Mohsin say Shreya Ghoshal was destined to sing "Pal", a song from the forthcoming film Jalebi. The song has been sung by Arijit Singh and Shreya. When Javed-Mohsin expressed their desire of having Shreya sing the female vocals of the song, it was producer Mukesh Bhatt who rang her up and asked her to cancel recordings she had the next day. Following this, Shreya cancelled two recordings, said a source.

"We always wanted Shreya to sing the song and put forth our choice to Mukeshji. He was instrumental in getting Shreya on board despite her having prior appointments.
