Indian music composer Payal Dev described her composition for "Tum Hi Aana" as follows:[1]

While working on another single, this melody came to my mind and I recorded on my phone. It so happened, that I, Jubin and Kunaal, were in a music sitting of another single and I made them hear the melody I had recorded.

After recording the melody, Kunal Verma instantly wrote "some lines", claimed Dev. The singer Jubin Nautiyal, who was also present, "instantly loved it and accepted to record a scratch of the song".[1] Nautiyal said that the record label T-Series also loved the song.[1] "Tum Hi Aana" was suggested to the director Milap Zaveri by the director of T-Series, Bhushan Kumar, when the latter was narrating the script of Marjaavaan.[2] Furthermore, Zaveri said, "Bhushan Kumar made me listen to the scratch and I was immediately sold on it. I couldn't have asked for a better song to describe the situation".[2] "Tum Hi Aana" was written by Verma and performed by Nautiyal.[1]

Dev originally composed the song as a "romantic" track, but had to change the composition due to the film's romantic and sad theme.[3] The lyrics were also altered to suit the theme.[3] Dev used multiple instruments for her composition, including the sarangi, flute, piano, and mouth organ, "to give it the right amount of emotions".[1] The song was called a pop ballad in press reviews.[4][5] Milap Zaveri described the song as being "all about emotions, passion and heartbreak".[2] The director compared the song with other tracks, saying "It's on the lines of "Bekhayali" and "Galliyan" from the films Kabir Singh and Ek Villain, respectively".[2]

"Tum Hi Aana" was met with positive reviews from film critics. The staff of Asian News International wrote that the song will "tug your heartstrings as it is all about emotions and heartbreak".[9] Abhishek Singh, writing for The Indian Express, expressed that the song "can be a bit much with how sad it is" but in the verdict, he wrote "[the song] is worth listening to at least once. If you’re into it, you’ll probably end up having it on repeat".[10] Devarsi Ghosh of Scroll.in said that the song is "fabulous" and praised Nautiyal, stating that: "It is undoubtedly the best composition Nautiyal has sung till date".[11] The staff of The Times of India praised the song, writing that it will "make you teary-eyed for sure".[12] The staff from Koimoi praised the composer, "Dev has done the music composition really well and the symphony at the back mixed with flutes tunes is absolutely mellow to the ears".[13]

News18's staff wrote, "The soulful romantic number Tum Hi Aana is a tear-jerker, to say the least".[4] Rafat Sami from the Glamsham regarded, "Verma's lyrics, though filmy, touch the heart and are simple and relatable".[16] Keyur Seta of Cinestaan believed that the song is "Motif" throughout Marjaavaan.[17] DJ Munks from BizAsia wrote that, " [the song] does have a very deeply moving and soulful instrumentation that makes this a gorgeous melody to listen to".[18]
