"Usually, it is the nature of the song and its lyrics that dictate how it should be rendered. Since Badri had a rustic and desi vibe, we had to render the song to suit that scenario. For this film, [composer Pritam] told me to think about the attitude that Salman has, and the way he performs," he said.

The singer further mentioned, "We dubbed the track in different ways and using different expressions, and he zeroed in on one of the four selections." Apart from Bam Bam Bhole, Dev worked on the other Sikandar song Zohra Jabeen. The singer revealed that the song had Urdu lyrics and they could benefit by using a qawwali tone.
