Ronson used recorded snippets of the athletes—Mexican Taekwondo athlete Maria del Rosario Espinoza muffled punches, Russian runner Kseniya Olegovna Vdovina's heartbeat—in his anthemic instrumental.

There is also a Bulgarian version of the single, called "Навсякъде по света" (lit.'Everywhere in the World'). It features Raffi Bohosyan, Angel & Moisey and Krisko.[3] A Spanish version called "Únete al movimiento" was recorded by Mexican group Belanova. For Switzerland a version featuring Geneva rapper M.A.M. replacing Katy's verses was recorded.
