Produced by Shayan Chowdhury Arnob and Pritom Hasan, Ma Lo Ma, penned by Md Khalek Dewan, lyrically explores the complexities of adulthood and nostalgia, prompting introspection about one's purpose in life. Amidst this questioning, it finds the potential for personal growth and acceptance.

Fusing folk elements with contemporary music, the song uses metaphors like a broken boat representing life and a river symbolising the world to illustrate themes of growth and self-discovery. The inclusion of Chaad Petano Gaan, a form of Shaari Gaan from the Mughal Era, adds depth to the composition, reflecting the fusion of traditional and urban influences.

Apart from the lead vocalists, the folk fusion track involves collaborative efforts from a varied group of musicians including vocalists Jannatul Firdous Akbar, Shanta Islam, and Samsan Rayna Ahmed. They are joined by instrumentalists Md Jalal Ahammad on flute, Pradyut Chatterjea on keyboards and Nafius Salam Yani on guitar.
