Background and composition[edit]

'Exotic' was written by Pitbull, Chopra and RedOne and produced by RedOne. The song contains both English and Hindi lyrics.^[2] Chopra spoke to The Hollywood Reporter about the song's composition and about the inclusion of Hindi language lyrics: 'My upcoming album is in English and 'Exotic' was initially going to be in English too. But in all my tracks I want to have some aspect of my Indian identity. 'In My City' has some Indian instrumentation to give it flavour. For me, being Indian is very exotic. After Pitbull sent me his lyrics I suggested to 'Exotic' producer RedOne that we could consider having some Hindi lyrics. He said, 'Yeah, let's try that'—and I quickly wrote the lyrics and sang it and he loved it. As I said, this is a summer song and we have so much fun in our Hindi movies and songs. We Indians really know how to party, man! And the world needs to see that. So the video has Indian-inspired dance steps too. It has a mix of Hindi and English, since the world is so global. An all-Korean song topped the Billboard charts, so why not a Hindi song?'^[3] Chopra also commented on her collaboration with Pitbull: 'Working with Pitbull was great—he is hugely creative. The lyrics he wrote are so personal, and he made the song about me and us. He made it real and I loved it. We only met during the shooting of the video and after that we have been in touch. I had a great time during the video shoot, which was all laughter and jokes. He was great fun and I was pleasantly surprised.'^[3] 'Exotic' is written in the initial key of D minor.^[4]
