Bollywood star Nora Fatehi and singer Jason Derulo collaborated on a new single, “Snake,” blending East Asian melodies with American dance music. The song, produced by Tommy Brown, aims to unite audiences from different regions. Fatehi explains her vision was for an “exotic” and dance-oriented track, while Derulo was drawn to its unique and cool sound. The collaboration marks a step towards a global music career for Fatehi, who signed with Warner Music Group in 2024. The music video, filmed in Morocco, showcases Fatehi and Derulo's impressive dance skills, blending bellydancing, hip-hop, and Bollywood choreography.
Nora Fatehi and Jason Derulo have kicked off 2025 with a single designed to combine cultures. On Thursday , the Bollywood superstar and veteran hitmaker unveiled “ Snake ,” a thumping dance collaboration that joins East Asian melodies with American dance-that the track came courtesy of a discussion with producer Tommy Brown about finding a sound that could unite audiences in different regions of the world.
“I’m hoping for bigger tracks and bigger projects, and this essentially introduces me to the international market in a very unique way,” Fatehi explains. “It allows people to know what I bring to the table as a performer, as a dancer, as a singer. … Bollywood made me the artist I am today, and I love to bring those elements into my artistry.
Those skills are on display in the “Snake” music video, which was filmed in Morocco over the course of two days and blends shape-shifting visual effects with a mix of bellydancing, hip-hop and Bollywood choreography. “I learned a lot from him on set,” Fatehi says of Derulo. “He’s been doing this for over 15 years, and still has the work ethic and seriousness on set to perfect every detail. I was very inspired.
While Fatehi is planning for “Snake” to kick off a year with more English-language music as part of her Warner deal, Derulo is also prepping new music, this time with an old friend: J.R. Rotem, who helped deliver Derulo’s 2009 Hot 100 chart-topper “Whatcha Say” to the masses and helmed his 2010 self-titled debut album before they went their separate ways.
“It’s the first time I’ve worked with him in 15 years,” Derulo says. “We put aside our differences, and it’s been incredible to work with him again. We just did a week in Miami, and some of the most amazing songs that I’ve done in a long time. I’m really excited about the new music, and the new album that’s coming in ’25.”ROSÉ & Bruno Mars’ ‘APT.’ Joins BTS’ ‘Dynamite’ as Only K-Pop Hits to Go Top Five on Pop Airplay Chart.
