On Twitter, Smita, who is famous for songs like Evaraina Chusuntara, said that the song is a 'tribute' to the film:

Interestingly, Smita happens to be a distant relative of filmmaker S S Rajamouli.
Madhan Karky reportedly penned the lyrics for the song, which stars Smita along with Prabhakar (the actor who played the Kalakeya's king in the movie), in three days. (Also Read: Why Kilikki Language Was Invented For Baahubali)
Smita, in an interview to a leading newspaper, had said she was so fascinated by the language that she had to make a song on it, despite the lack of revenue from music videos owing to piracy and online download.
