It's A Game - Game by Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy, Vishal Dadlani

It's A Game - Game arrived from the Game album and quickly became one of the most replayed tracks of 2011. Behind the melody is the work of Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy, whose composition choices give It's A Game - Game its distinctive texture.

Shankar, Ehsaan, Loy, Vishal Dadlani brings a warmth to It's A Game - Game that no production choice could manufacture — it has to be felt, and here it is. The connection between Abhishek Bachchan, Anupam Kher, Jimmy Sheirgill, Kangana Ranaut and this song is part of what makes it resonate beyond the film itself.

The 2011 release gave fans something to hold onto — a track built for repeated listening rather than a single play. The song rewards full attention but also works as company in the background — a flexibility that most tracks never achieve.

The concision of It's A Game - Game — just 3:09 — is part of what makes it work. There is nothing here that should not be. Years from now, It's A Game - Game will still be the track that plays at the right moment and lands exactly as it did the first time.
