Speaking about the creative process, Tiger told News18, “Sid Bosco has this amazing way of pushing you beyond your comfort zone and helping you discover a new rhythm within yourself. I love this process – it keeps you growing as a performer. The song is raw, powerful and visually completely different from anything I’ve done before.
