Filming for the music video was shot by director Thomas Kloss with producers Kathy Angstadt and Missy Galanida.
“Jai Ho”, the original song, was composed by A. R. Rahman, with words written in Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi and Spanish by Gulzar, for the 2008 film Yuvvraaj. Director Subhash Ghaiand decided that the song wasn’t suitable for use in his film. The song went on to be performed in the 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire, the track for a choreographed dance, sung during the end credits by Sukhwinder Singh and Rahman, Tanvi Shah, Mahalakshmi Iyer and Vijay Prakash.
