Actress turned singer Priyanka Chopra released her song “Exotic” with the help of Pitbull. “Exotic”, the first single off Priyanka Chopra’s debut studio album, brings together critically acclaimed actress Priyanka Chopra and Pitbull, AKA “Mr. Worldwide,” in a high-energy dance track for the US market, the first ever international collaboration with a Bollywood superstar. “Exotic” infuses a seductive mix of pop, hip-hop, and electro with accents of contemporary and classic Indian music, plus Hindi lyrics written and performed by Priyanka — these resonances are consistently woven throughout each track of the album.
“I wrote these lyrics for my new track,’Pardesi babu ne is Desi dil ko maan Liya hai,’ which means, ‘this foreign guy has taken my Indian heart.’ In this case there are two guys!” said Priyanka Chopra. “I recorded “Exotic” in Ibiza with musical genius and visionary RedOne (guy #1), and none other than Mr. Worldwide aka Pitbull (guy #2). Together they helped me create a hot and sexy summer anthem that I am so proud of! This is just the beginning, and I can’t wait to share this song and the rest of the album with you!”
Chopra, who is a classically trained singer, is best known as one of India’s most celebrated actresses, with a significant fan base that spans the UK, Europe, Middle East and Canada. She has enjoyed phenomenal success internationally, appearing in more than 40 movies and winning many of India’s most coveted awards. This is the former Miss World’s first foray into the global music scene after being discovered.
America got its first taste of Chopra with her track “In My City,” which debuted last September on the NFL Network’s Thursday Night Kickoff, and sold more than 100,000 copies in its first week of release. With a guest appearance by will.i.am, “In My City” layers Chopra’s sweetly sleek vocals over lush synth tones and brain-bending beats.

Lyrics to Exotic by Priyanka Chopra x Pitbull
Chorus:
Cool me down
I’m feeling so exotic
Ya right now
I’m hotter than the tropics
Take me down
mumbai Cuba, baby let’s go
La-love me all the way to Rio
desi girl!
I’m feeling so exotic!
[Indian Lyrics]
Tumko jo dekha maine
Toh maine ye jaan liya hai
Pardesi babu ne
Is desi dil ko maan liya hai (x2)
I’m like Bon Jovi, I’m on it
dead or alive, you all better get with it.
In the music game I’m worth more dead than alive
But that’s OK, I live with it!
That’s why I live everyday like my last
Priyanka, step on the gas!
From Morocco to Mumbai,
Bollywood to Hollywood is all about the money, cash!
Baby it’s so beautiful
Must just play and see
But if you want the world
I suggest you come with me (come with me)
La-la la la la… (Come with me)
La-la la la la…
Chorus: (x2)
Cool me down
I’m feeling so exotic
Ya right now
I’m hotter than the tropics
Take me down
Oh my Cuba, baby let’s go
La-love me all the way to Rio!
Baby girl!
I’m feeling so exotic!
[Indian Lyrics]
To Cuba’s free I can’t go
But I’ll meet you in Rio for sure
But performing a pitstop in Miami
home of the Heat and old school photos
Got women by the boatload
Were from duchies, Rolex and cocos
To the exhumers Turks and Caicos
No more rumors, maybes, or say sos.
It’s a fact, there is no liar
Get a radio rotation and tires
Miss World and Mr. Worldwide.
You already know that this thing is on fire!
Baby it’s so beautiful
Must just play and see
But if you want the world
I suggest you come with me (come with me)
La-la la la la… (Come with me)
La-la la la la…
Chorus: (x2)
Cool me down
I’m feeling so exotic
Ya right now
I’m hotter than the tropics
Take me down
Oh my Cuba, baby let’s go
La-love me all the way to Rio!
[Indian Lyrics]
Chorus: (x2)
Cool me down
I’m feeling so exotic
Ya right now
I’m hotter than the tropics
Take me down
Oh my Cuba, baby let’s go
La-love me all the way to Rio!
