Nadeem–Shravan were recommended by singer [[Anuradha Paudwal]] to [[Gulshan Kumar]], the founder of [[Super Cassettes Industries]] (parent company of T-Series). Gulshan replied that his company was not producing films at that point time, instead interested on curating a [[studio album]] and asked the duo to record few songs, further adding that if he liked their compositions, he would recommend another producer who would express their interest on making a film.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2022-02-24 |title=Lyricist Sameer Anjaan revealed why Gulshan Kumar refused to release Aashiqui: &amp;#039;Mahesh Bhatt promised him…&amp;#039; |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/sameer-anjaan-lyricist-birthday-aashiqui-music-gulshan-kumar-mahesh-bhatt-nadeem-shravan-songs-7785775/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220307191302/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/music/sameer-anjaan-lyricist-birthday-aashiqui-music-gulshan-kumar-mahesh-bhatt-nadeem-shravan-songs-7785775/ |archive-date=2022-03-07 |access-date=2024-02-01 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2021-04-24 |title=Nadeem Saifi&amp;#039;s emotional tribute to his &amp;#039;chhota bhai&amp;#039; Shravan Rathod: &amp;#039;Saanson ki zaroorat hai jaise&amp;#039; |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/nadeem-saifi-shravan-rathod-emotional-tribute-7287093/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210507044719/https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/bollywood/nadeem-saifi-shravan-rathod-emotional-tribute-7287093/ |archive-date=2021-05-07 |access-date=2024-02-01 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The duo then brought lyricist [[Sameer Anjaan|Sameer]] and playback singer [[Kumar Sanu]], to record the songs under the tentative title &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Chahat&amp;#039;&amp;#039;; the first song they recorded was &amp;quot;Main Duniya Bhula Doonga&amp;quot;. After curating around five to six songs, director [[Mahesh Bhatt]] happened to hear them and was impressed with it, eventually deciding to write a story surrounding those songs which became &amp;#039;&amp;#039;Aashiqui&amp;#039;&amp;#039;. He further insisted Sameer to write the title track, which became &amp;quot;Bas Ek Sanam Chaahiye&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite web |date=2021-04-23 |title=Shravan Rathod, Nadeem Saifi were the sound of &amp;#039;90s Bollywood and pioneers of the &amp;#039;filmi ghazal&amp;#039; |url=https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/bollywood/shravan-rathod-nadeem-saifi-were-the-sound-of-90s-bollywood-and-pioneers-of-the-filmi-ghazal-9557891.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210430113911/https://www.firstpost.com/entertainment/bollywood/shravan-rathod-nadeem-saifi-were-the-sound-of-90s-bollywood-and-pioneers-of-the-filmi-ghazal-9557891.html |archive-date=2021-04-30 |access-date=2024-02-01 |website=Firstpost |language=en}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After production being completed, Gulshan contacted Sameer saying that though people felt the film&amp;#039;s music was great, it sounded more than an independent album rather than a soundtrack for the film, admitting that Gulshan eventually planned to release the album only instead of the film. Bhatt met Gulshan and assured that he would quit direction, if the soundtrack to the film becomes unsuccessful. As per the latter&amp;#039;s suggestion, Mahesh eventually released a poster with lead pair Rahul Roy and Anu Agarwal were shown hiding under a jacket, in order to avoid revealing the actors in the promotional material. The album was eventually released on 26 December 1989, months before the film&amp;#039;s theatrical release.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;:0&amp;quot; /&amp;gt; Most of the songs fall under the [[filmi-ghazal]] genre, based on the [[ghazal]] style.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite book |author=Gregory D.
