Earlier, while speaking about her original cover version of ‘Boom Boom’, Meesha said: “Recreating an iconic and evergreen hit song close to many music lover’s hearts is a big responsibility. Nazia Hassan is such a timeless icon. It wouldn’t be fair to try and emulate her. I did sit and re-watch all her videos to study the music and performances. A natural beauty with God’s many gifts. The entire effort is really a nod to her and her epic contribution to putting Pakistan on the map in the disco era.”
