The track appears as the fourth entry on the album with a duration of 2 minutes and 31 seconds. Shankar adapts the traditional English carol using elements of Indian classical instrumentation, though specific arrangement details remain undocumented. The album compiles reinterpretations of Christmas music by various Indian artists, blending Western holiday themes with classical and contemporary Indian styles.

No additional production credits, session musicians, or alternate versions of the track are publicly confirmed. The release aligns with Cleopatra Records’ series of genre-fusion holiday albums, though the label did not issue physical media for this title.
