Today we dance to this song at weddings and clubs, but the story of its creation is quite interesting and a little sad. Sukhbir had revealed in an interview that:

start up tone: This song is basically a slow tempo ‘Sad Song’ (sad song). Its lyrics were written to tell the tale of a broken heart.

Music Experiment: When Sukhbir was recording it, he felt that the tune should be given a little ‘upbeat’ and Bhangra touch. He used ‘synthesizer’ and heavy ‘beats’ in it.

Superhit made by mistake: The famous ‘O Ho Ho Ho’ part in the middle of the song was actually used to fill a gap, which later became the signature of the song.

The magic continues even after 27 years

This song, released in the year 1999, is still a chartbuster. There were many remix versions of it in Hindi films (like ‘Hindi Medium’), but Sukhbir’s original version is still unmatched. Having a global artist like Ricky Martin dancing to it shows that the reach and influence of Indian music has now crossed borders.
