"Señorita" (transl. 

flamenco song[2]
is about being yourself and having fun.

Development

Director

flamenco artist María del Mar Fernández, who made her debut with the song. She was auditioned by Shankar–Ehsaan–Loy to croon the Spanish portions.[4]

This is the first time Abhay Deol has sung for a film, though both Farhan Akhtar and Hrithik Roshan made their singing debuts for Rock On!! and Kites respectively. They recorded a good part of the song by tricking the actors into believing that it is a rehearsal and used it since it sounded good.[5]

Music video

The video,

Bollywood movies and their nature, came all dressed in the third day of the shooting and joined in with the crew.[6] Zoya refused to use extras in the video and got some locals to dance with her lead actors.[7] The song is picturised while on a road trip — the leads have a fun evening, break into a song, tap dance.[8]

Reception

Rediff in its music review, stated, "Señorita treads on cultural stereotypes with its flamenco-inspired beats, ethnic elements and lyricism represented by María Del Mar Fernández yet keeps it interesting by adding its own twist to the take."[9] Meanwhile, Bollywood Hungama described the track as "A fun number with some impressive singing with Hrithik, Farhan and Abhay".[10] Bollyspice reviewer Vanessa Barnes, who loved the song, said, "This is a thoroughly Spanish track, from the guitars, the handclapping, the exuberance and the passion. It made me long to go back to Barcelona, because I can TASTE it."[11]

A report, which was later published on Glamsham, remarked "Señorita has set the heart of nation to dance to the care free tunes of Salsa on which the music of the film is based."[12]

The song topped the Radio Mirchi Top 10 chart replacing "Ik Junoon (Paint It Red)" of the same album, from the eighth week of its release.[17]
