Controversy arise when a news appeared online that the music composition of Sathi was the copy of Arabian song. You can listen the Arabian version HERE. But another theory was proposed that the music used in Sathi was not originally from that Arabian song but it was the track created by Slantize for How you make me feel. (Listen to the music HERE). The theory was put forwarded that the music could be used by anyone for a royalty. So, it was not a copy.
