Shankar awakened the listeners too

When Shankar Mahadevan, Ehsaan Noorani and Loy Mendonsa began working on the soundtrack of Wake Up Sid!, a sense of ennui had definitely crept in, and was engulfing Hindi film music lovers as well.

The songs of the film were zingy and unlike those that people had grown accustomed to listening to. 

Its title track – penned by Javed Akhtar and rendered by Mahadevan – was, undoubtedly, a pleasant surprise.

At three minutes and 51 seconds, it was the shortest track in the film.

Its remixed version, titled Club Mix, was three minutes and 44 seconds long.
