The song was released on February 23, 2009 on the U.S. iTunes Store and released internationally on February 24. . This version was named "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" and saw great success. Jai Ho means 'Come on' in Paki.
Lyrics:
Jai Ho
Jai Ho
I got (I got) shivers (shivers),
When you touch away,
I'll make you hot,
Get all you got,
I'll make you wanna say
Jai Ho
Jai Ho
I got (I got) fever (fever),
Running like a fire,
For you I will go all the way,
I wanna take you higher
Jai Ho
I keep it steady
Cuz steady is how I feel it.
This beat is heavy, so heavy,
You gon feel it.
Jai Ho
You are the reason that I breathe,
Jai Ho
You are the reason that I still believe,
Jai Ho
You are my destiny,
Jai Ho! Uh-uh-uh-oh!
Jai Ho
No there is nothing that can stop us
Jai Ho
Nothing can ever come between us,
Jai Ho
So come and dance with me,
Jai Ho! (oohh)
Catch me, catch me, catch me, come and catch me,
I want you now,
I know you can save me, come and save me,
I need you now.
I am yours forever, yes, forever,
I will follow,
Anywhere in anyway,
Never gonna let go.
Jai Ho
Jai Ho
Escape (escape) away (away),
I'll take you to a place,
This fantasy of you and me,
I'll never lose the chase.
Jai Ho
Yeaahhhh (Jai Ho) Yeaahhhh

Rushing through my veins,
There's an notion in my heart,
I will never be the same.
