Scherzinger put her 'heart into writing the lyrics and put in themes from the film Slumdog Millionaire. Scherzinger was hesitant at first, stating in an interview that: ' I was scared to death to touch it afraid for people to hear it before I even wrote it'. After Fair and Iovine were successful in getting a green-light from Rahman, they asked Scherzinger, the lead singer of the Pussycat Dolls, to write an interpretation of the song. So this is a way for people to get new songs of ours and for people who haven't picked up the album so far to get another spin of our music.' Īfter watching Slumdog Millionaire, record executives Ron Fair and Jimmy Iovine wanted to turn 'Jai Ho' into a 'pop record without deviating from the original melody'. In this industry these days, that's what we're trying to do, always put new music out there and get people to pay attention.

'It's crazy how the whole thing came about, I'm a writer, and I've been fortunate enough to write for the Dolls, but when they asked me to look at the movie and do my own version, I was really afraid to take on the task of rewriting the lyrics, because I thought the movie was so profound, I didn't know how to make sure I kept the integrity of the movie and the love story, but also make it cool enough for the Pussycat Dolls and for people all over the world to connect to.' - Scherzinger on the process of recreating 'Jai Ho!'
