Singer Shithi Saha has collaborated with famed Indian singer and composer Salim Merchant for the upcoming Valentine's Day. This project marks the first Bengali song in Salim's career. 

This song titled "Bristi Bilash" is thus set for release on February 14 on YouTube.

Shithi Saha delivered the official announcement through her Facebook page. The music video of the song is set to feature both Shithi and Salim. However, "Bristi Bilash" was recorded in India.

The music has been composed by renowned music composer Sajid Sarkar, while the lyrics have been penned by prominent lyricist Shomeshwar Oli.

Shomeshwar Oli told The Daily Star, "I have listened to many songs by the Salim-Sulaiman duo and have admired them as well. One of them, Salim Merchant, who is not a native Bengali speaker, sang the song, which was a delightful surprise. Initially, I was unaware of this, as Shithi Saha had not mentioned it at the time. I only found out after Salim Merchant recorded the song."

"Sajid Sarker is one of my favourite composers. Working with him has always been a wonderful experience, and this time was no exception."

"I had previously written a song for Shithi Saha for one of her solo albums quite a while ago. This time, we collaborated again. She is a talented artiste. Her work abroad, particularly with renowned Indian musicians, deserves appreciation."

Last month, Shithi Saha notably released the song "Eka Ghor Amar", in collaboration with renowned singer-actor Tahsan Khan.
