With GRAMMY-winning producers Stereotypes at the helm, Pitbull is ready to get us back on the dance floor with the infectious new track ‘Privacy.’

Officially released in August, the song comes as a reunion with fellow Florida native and global hitmaker Jason Derulo after the two have delivered nearly two decades of celebrated collaborations including 2007’s ‘My Life,’ 2013’s ‘Fire,’ and 2015’s ‘Drive You Crazy.’

“It’s Friday night, and baby, I just wanna dance (Wanna dance) / Girl, you about to start a party in my pants (In my pants) / Don’t tell your friends, I’ll tell my friends they not invited (Yo) / ‘Cause it’s just you and me tonight, that’s how I like it (Woo),” Derulo wails on the undeniable party-starting ‘Privacy.’

Pushing the party to the next level, Pit has unleashed the music video for the new song. And while it doesn’t feature appearances from either of its performers, their message gets across loud and clear.

The anxiously awaited 20th anniversary edition of Beyonce‘s sophomore album ‘BDAY‘ may have sent her beloved fan base (affectionately called #Beyhive) buzzing for its remixes, previously unheard songs, and surprise guest appearances when it was released Thursday (September 3), but it’s easy to argue the standout of the 31-track affair came courtesy of updated adaptation of ‘Irreemplazable‘: the Spanish version of the 2007 chart-topping hit ‘Irreplaceable.’

In the 2026-released take, Bey interpolates vocals and music from Selena Quintanilla‘s unforgettable 1992 classic ‘Como La Flor’ – a mashup that got two thumbs up the late Tejano music Queen’s family.

“This resounding approval for Beyoncé from Selena Quintanilla’s estate made it possible for this timely and meaningful duet. Two women from Texas. Two unmistakable and irreplaceable voices that broke down and continue to break down barriers. Beyoncé revered Selena and remembers listening to her on the radio in Houston,” they revealed to trumpet the tune’s arrival to digital shelves.

Hard to believe it’s been two decades since Beyonce reigned over the Billboard 200 with her sophomore album – the September 1, 2006-released ‘BDAY.’

Silencing critics of her solo staying power at the time, the Destiny’s Child alum shined brighter than ever before with an LP chockfull of uptempo cuts that masterfully fused Pop, Rock, Soul, Latin, and more for what would become a delectable melting pot of sounds – a complete steer to the left, to the left of what fans were expecting as a follow-up to its more R&B-driven predecessor ‘Dangerously in Love’ (2003).

Home to hits like ‘Upgrade U,’ ‘Irreplaceable,’ ‘Get Me Bodied,’ and ‘Deja Vu,’ the project’s enduring legacy makes it a standout in Bey’s prized discography – a status toasted to via the official 20th anniversary edition released on Thursday (September 3).

Beyond remastering the original LP’s favorites like ‘Ring the Alarm,’ ‘Green Light,’ ‘Kitty Kat,’ and others, the expanded re-release boasts remixes, newer favorites like ‘Morning Dew (Donk),’ and even surprise collaborations with Tejano music Queen Selena, Maluma, and more.

Karol G may have sent her fans to the moon a few weeks ago when she brought fellow global hitmaker Bruno Mars out for a surprise appearance at her stadium concert in Los Angeles, but she apparently isn’t done dropping off gifts.

Turns out part of the Mars visit was to film various scenes for the music video of their highly anticipated duet ‘Still.’

Premiered Wednesday (September 2), the black-and-white clip sees the two getting more than cozy together as they trade romantic lyrics, play with go-karts backstage, and more.

“I’d still sleep in your sweater / Still feel you in the dark / I’d still keep all your letters / I won’t tear them apart / I’d still hope you were happy,” Karol sings over a D’Mile-produced chorus. “Even though it’d be hard / ‘Cause I’d still love you / Even with a broken heart / Even with a broken heart (Heart).”

The video even shows the crowd’s roaring reactions to the live debut of the song at SoFi Stadium.

Featured on Karol’s latest studio album, the August 7-releasedNo Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto,’ hop inside to get acquainted with the tune courtesy of its official music video.
