I know you got your own town
I know you got your own ways
I know you got your own life
I'm just sayin' come on down to my place
Come on make some new friends
And tell me what you drinkin'
I know there's no place like home
But I know you gonna like it in my city
Everybody's welcome here
Everybody welcome to my city
We ain't got no worries here

You know you got a friend in me
You ain't gonna wanna leave
Co-co-co-come on, co-co-co-come on
You ain't never had a party
Till you come to a party in my city
Driving down to boulevard
Coming out inside my car
No sitin' in my backyard
Let's go for a ride
Come on and ride with me
We got some sights to see
Baby just come with me to my community
Come on let's go, oh, let's hit the road
Oh, turn up the radio

You know you got a friend in me (you got a friend)

Everybody's welcome here

You ain't gonna wanna leave
Co-co-co-come on, co-co-come on
You ain't never had a party
Till you come to a party in my city
"In My City" is the debut single by Indian recording artist and actress Priyanka Chopra, featuring American rapper will.i.am. The song was produced by RedOne, Rush and Brian Kennedy, and was co-written by Ester Dean, who provides additional vocals. In India, "In My City" was a commercial success. It sold 130,000 copies in its first week and was certified triple platinum.
"In My City" talks about resonating with the party culture of urban cities. Chopra said that the song was not inspired by one city, since her father was an army doctor, and her family travelled all over India to cities like Jamshedpur, Lucknow, Delhi, Pune, Bareily, Chandigarh, Mumbai and Ladakh. Chopra told the Hindustan Times that the song was "about being proud of where I come from. It's inviting the world to my city and my city could be anywhere."
