"There is not one reason behind this, there are several reasons plus I have been trying to do this since a long time. Finally I have gathered the right courage. One of the reasons were simple, I get bored pretty quick, thats why I keep changing arrangements of the same songs and perform them on stage. So here is the thing, I got bored," he wrote.

Over the years, Arijit Singh has given Bollywood some of its most memorable and emotionally resonant songs, including Tum Hi Ho, Channa Mereya, Kesariya, Agar Tum Saath Ho, Raabta, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Tera Yaar Hoon Main, and Tujhe Kitna Chahne Lage, among many others.
