Produce by IamChino

The Miami-based artist, who is signed to Mr. 305 Inc. and has been DJ’ing for Pitbull since 2005, says the single was destined to become a crowd favorite. “It’s a song that has a good melody and the lyrics are about love, which allows people to relate to the track. The sound is very different. It’s a mixture of different cultures, sounds. You hear beats from Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba in there”.
