Maruthakasi to write new lyrics, but Maruthakasi convinced the team to retain Vaali's lyrics.[5] The song contains the lyrics "Udayasooriyan ethiril irundhal, ullai thamarai malaratho" (in front of the rising sun, the lotus of one's heart blooms), where the "rising sun" is a reference to the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam's election symbol.[6]
