The Common Wealth Games’ theme song, which was set to tune by Oscar winner AR Rahman, has been titled Swagatham. Speaking at the press conference about this song, the Mozart of Madras said, “When you hear the song you feel like India is calling you. I want the crowd to sing along. We have put in a lot of hard work and we are all very excited to turn it into a memorable experience. I am still working on it and am curious to know how older, intelligent people, who have years of wisdom, will react to it.”
The song is sung by AR Rahman along with other singers. It is predominantly in Hindi with some words in English. The musician said that the song has been approved by the group of ministers. He added that Swagatham is dedicated to the father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi.
