"Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto" (transl. Live, Rise, Ascend, Win; also known as "Oh Yaron Ye India Bula Liya") is a song by Indian musician A. R. Rahman. It was the official anthem for the 2010 Commonwealth Games, which was held in Delhi, India between 3 October and 14 October 2010.[1][2] The highly anticipated song was released on 28 August for digital download, receiving notably mixed responses from the Organising Committee, critics and listeners alike.[3] The music video of the song was released on 23 September, which featured only a shorter version of the song.[4] The new version became the official anthem, since it received very positive responses.[5][6] The title of the song is based on the motto of the games, "Come out and play".
"Jiyo Utho Badho Jeeto" was first performed by Rahman at the song release function held at Kingdom of Dreams in Gurugram, Haryana on 28 August 2010.[7] The song was dedicated to Mahatma Gandhi.[8]
