The track runs for 3 minutes and 44 seconds. Sawhney composed, arranged and produced the work, continuing his signature fusion of Indian classical motifs with electronic textures, jazz harmonies and orchestral elements.

Immigrants marked Sawhney’s first full-length studio project since Dystopian Dream (2015). The album received distribution through digital platforms and streaming services, with Masterworks handling global marketing. Critical reception highlighted Sawhney’s integration of sitar, piano and synthetic soundscapes, though no standalone singles or music videos accompanied the release.
