Nikki Nikki was Hardik Trehan's actual debut single, released by Catrack Entertainment in 2014. It came together over roughly six months of work with composer Jatinder Shah, followed by about three months of rehearsals — close to a year of preparation in total.
The video was directed by Hardik's father, Gaurav Trehan. Post-production was handled at Artha Film Studios, with Atharv Baluja, a renowned film director, supervising the VFX. Gurdas Maan and Manjeet Maan made a surprise appearance at the press meet for the release.
In 2018, Hardik came back to the song with an unplugged version, shot in the landscapes of Washington state. He had felt from the first listen that the song was a slow romantic number, while Jatinder Shah's original arrangement had treated it the other way — and the unplugged cut was the slow version he had always wanted to hear. The unplugged version crossed a million views and was widely appreciated.
