Release date

You can get it right now on digital download - or (if you can wait!) grab it in 
the shops from 13 April. 

The style

As soon as you hear the first drum beats and the slick sitar style of the 
latest Pussycat Dolls track you'll know they've been to Bollywood. 

And it sounds like they've taken a fair bit of Hollywood with them! 

Lead singer Nicole Scherzinger has teamed up with Indian megastar AR Rahman for 
an English remix of his Oscar winning hit 'Jai Ho (You Are My Destiny)'. 

She sounds right at home - making the most of her soulful R&B voice and hitting 
all the (incredibly) high notes on this Eastern-themed piece of pop! 

The words

'Jai ho!' means 'victory' - so what victory are the Pussycat Dolls cheering 
about? 

Well, it seems they've found someone really special who lights up their 
glamorous lives. 

In between AR Rahman's 'Jai Ho!' chant, they sing: "You are the reason that I 
breathe. You are the reason that I still believe. You are my destiny, Jai Ho!" 

But this affectionate tune is also about making it through the tricky times and 
celebrating on the other side: "No there is nothing that can stop us. Nothing 
can ever come between us. So come and dance with me, Jai Ho!". 

Will you still be humming it next week?

Any song that makes us want to clap along with a Bollywood beat is sure to 
stick in the charts and our heads. 

The music video is also worth a peek - with the Dolls showing off some 
Indian-inspired dance moves. 

Will it make the charts?

On digital downloads alone 'Jai Ho' has ALREADY hit number three in the UK 
singles chart. 

Will this toe-tapping track make a move on Lady GaGa when it's released on 
April 13? 

It seems we'll have to wait to see what Jai Ho's destiny really is!
