Jason Derulo wanted QB's rendition of his Fifa anthem to be 'as Pakistani as possible'

Jason Derulo wanted QB's rendition of his Fifa anthem to be 'as Pakistani as possible'

Watch what happened when QB met Derulo in LA ahead of their collaboration for the Pakistani rendition of 'Colors'

While there is no Pakistan team in the world cup championship (boo!), the love for football runs strong in the country.

Qurat-ul-Ain Balouch has given us another reason to go FIFA-crazy; the singer performed a desi-fied version of this year's FIFA anthem, which was originally sung by Jason Derulo:

In a cute behind the scenes video, we see QB working with Derulo on the track.

"I was actually told about this project a few days ago so I had to rush and get on a flight, get here and just be part of it. I can't wait to go back and brainstorm what I can do with it, I was actually thinking about adding the tabla to bring out the folk elements of Pakistan," she says to the rapper, to which he replies "I want you to make it as authentic, as Pakistani as possible. I would love that."

Watch her also teach him how to say "Maza har lamhey ka!" here:

But Pakistan is not in the world cup or football is big in Pakistan.

ok so where did she go to record this? Who's idea was it? Is it part of Coke Studio Pakistan? And why was it recorded in the first place considering that Pak doesn't even have a team in Fifa cup? Everything is a mystery about this song.
