Aretha Franklin, in her long singing career that started at the age of 18 in 1960, got her 1st ever platinum record in 1985, when she released an album called "Who's Zoomin' Who?". How did essentially useless bit of info suddenly come up in my mind?
I was reminded of the song when I read through this interview of Veena Malik describing with newfound rapture her blissful married life and finding Love & God. There's a nice film title for you. Oh wait, it's been taken already.
But it's not her own utterings that got me thinking of this expression. Rather, it's the husband leaping to defend her past and describing her as a simple woman who is pure now, and is planning to take her on an Umrah. Cut to Veena as she piously proclaims that as a child she had TAKEN AN OATH that she would only go to Umrah with the man she loves! (Especially the one that she meets at the US Consulate? Catty, I know!) Hmmm.
Conventional psychology would have you believe that it is women that seek out bad boys in order to turn them around and redeem them. So in the words of blind Dhritarashtra in Jaano Bhi Do Yaaro, "Yeh kya ho rahaa hai?".
The reveal comes at the end of the article when the husband talks about their future plans together.
So here's the article:

And here's the song and lyric, in case you're too lazy to google for it.
