Aoora says, "I always had a deep desire to work on an Indo-Korean project, and reimagining 'Jimmy Jimmy' which has very modern and globally appealing beats took me on a very interesting journey. Giving a dynamic K-pop twist to a great, nostalgic hit of the 80s was enjoyable and Bappi da's musical brilliance just blew me away. His music makes me want to do more collaborative projects and bring Indian and Korean fans even closer."

Aroora has also set the new version of 'Jimmy Jimmy' to crisp, infectious choreography and it is easy to see why it would be hard not to groove to such a smash. The uploaded single on YouTube has also attracted a deluge of compliments from Korean and nostalgic Indian fans.
