So I would say that this song is definitely about human love, although it may have kind of a mystical approach to it sometimes (at least she tries hard by displaying an Indian look and outfit).

But many other lines are completely unfit for divine love: "I'll make you hot", "I'll make you wanna say: Jai Ho!", "I wanna take you higher", "come and dance with me", "Just keep it burning, yea baby", etc. Some lines can pretty much describe a love for God: "You're my destiny", "I know you can save me", "I will follow", etc. She says that she wanted to keep her version of the lyrics fit both for spiritual love and for human love. The message of this song is very simple: I love you so much my life would be meaningless without you. So it was kind of unbelievable to be able to do that." "I just wanted people no matter where they are, whatever relationship they're in - be it spiritual or a guy/girl relationship - to be able to connect to the song. "I just followed my heart and I came from a very spiritual place," she continued.

"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. 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," she said. "It's crazy how the whole thing came about," she said. This is what she said to MTV in an interview about this song: When Nicole Scherzinger was asked to make an English version of this song she watched the movie and was so touched by it, and by the Hindi lyrics of the song, that she was afraid of changing anything. The translation of "Jai Ho" would be "May victory be yours!", and it is sung at the end of the movie to celebrate the triumph of the hero.
