Q. How did Jimmy Jimmy happen?

A. I have been listening to a lot of Indian music and about two months back I heard this song, Jimmy Jimmy. I was very attracted to its disco beats. The energy of the song was also amazing. I felt that adding K-pop beats to this song while keeping the original disco element intact would be cool. I am so happy that people are liking this version of the song.
