Here we bring the lesser-known fact behind the iconic song. 

It is not just music lovers or people with broken hearts, Tadap Tadap had a special place in KK's heart. Narrating his experience of dubbing Tadap Tadap in the studio, KK said that he along with his team was in Mumbai for dubbing Tadap Tadap. However, due to some technical glitches during dubbing, they were forced to delay the schedule and slept in the studio itself. As KK narrated, they woke up early in the morning to record the song. he stepped out of the studio to get some fresh air. 

Mumbai is known as the busiest city and Mumbaikars never sleep, even at night. However, early in the morning in between 3-4:30 am, Mumbaikars are a bit chilled out and the noisy city remains silent for a few hours. When KK stepped out of the studio, he felt the silence and with the same mood, he started singing the iconic song. It won't be wrong to say that KK's vocal for the song was from his soul which made it a blockbuster.

Be it Kya Mujhe Pyaar Hai (Woh Lamhe), Khuda Jaane (Bachna Ae Haseeno), Tu Hi Meri Shab Hai (Gangster), Zara Sa (Jannat), Beete Lamhein (The Train) or Lobon Ko (Bhool Bhulaiyaa), above all songs, his Tadap Tadap remains a cult classic even today.
