The artists co-wrote the song with Jason Evigan, Sean Douglas, Ori Kaplan, Tamir Muskat, Tomer Yosef, and Wallpaper frontman Ricky Reed; the latter is also the song's producer. The song is built around sampled instrumentals from "Hermetico" by the Israeli band Balkan Beat Box from their 2007 studio album Nu Med. The main saxophone loop is based on characteristic Turkish traditional ornamentations, particularly rendering the Turkish wind instrument Zurna. A music video for "Talk Dirty" was directed by Colin Tilley, which incorporates types of dance from a variety of different cultures: it was released through Derulo's account on YouTube on August 7, 2013. Upon its release, "Talk Dirty" received mixed reviews from music critics, though was an international commercial success. The song reached the top position in Australia, Germany, Israel, and the United Kingdom, while also reaching the top 10 in Austria, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Hungary, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. more »
