Chao later said popular Pakistani website Mangobaaz that the main goal of the song was to promote inter-religious peace and unite, particularly between the Muslims and Christians.
"No religion teaches hatred and both the Holy Bible and the Holy Quran teach us to be nothing but virtuous, to love one another and do nothing to hurt a soul. That's the message we want to get across with our song," the singer was quoted as saying.
