About the song[edit]
The song is written, directed and produced by Farhad, while co-produced by Sheraz. Farhad describing their inspiration behind the song as "All my work is reflective of myself, feelings matter more to me than thoughts. So when I think of visuals I’m conscious of how an image makes me feel rather than what I think of it." he further expressed, "I have always been extremely observant of my surroundings and tried capturing feelings more than thoughts. My videos are a collage of visuals that I like to picture in my head. The song Nimmi Nimmi came together on its own. The music and words seemed to find their way together at the studio when Sheraz (Keyboardist of Overload) played some chords casually on the piano. Overload has always been my outlet to express my feelings without caring about whatever rules or trends the music industry is following."[6]
