 The initial choice, "Shaayad" by Taba Chake, involved a lot of location scouting and travel, which became impractical for us due to transportation issues. As a result, we decided to switch to a different song. For our next selection, we focused on something that could be filmed mainly indoors and had a shorter duration. 2.

So while music videos existed in some form for decades, their mainstream introduction really began in the 1970s and exploded in popularity with MTV in the 1980s.
