The music video, shot and produced in Houston, Texas, reflects Haider's current base in the United States, where he has lived for several years. Fans also applauded the video's visuals, performances and overall polish, calling it a thoughtfully executed return rather than a nostalgic retread. Haider had said that his mother ultimately urged him to leave the country for his safety around 2013-2014, after which he travelled to the United States on a concert visa. With 'Ijazat', he now cautiously re-enters music, reconnecting with audiences at home and abroad.
