Dale! Mr. Worldwide and 5H unite.
During the Latin American Music Awards on Thursday (Oct. 26), Pitbull and Fifth Harmony debuted their Spanglish collaboration, “Por Favor,” which blends genres and languages.
The pop-leaning single kicks off with Pitbull’s trademark growl. “I already see mami needed TLC,” he raps. “I ain’t too proud to beg just like TLC.”
Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, and Normani Kordei follow suit, singing infectious melodies in both Spanish and English throughout the bounce-driven production.
Pitbull is the latest MC to join forces with Fifth Harmony, following French Montana, who recently linked up with the quartet for “He Like That (Remix).”
5H and Pitbull shared their new collaboration with a performance at Thursday’s Latin AMAs, where Mr. Worldwide went home with the inaugural Latin AMA Dick Clark Achievement Award. “For the folks that are helpless right now, I want to motivate them and inspire them to stay strong, to rebuild even stronger,” he said during his speech. “All the way from Puerto Rico to Cuba, the Keys, Houston, the earthquakes in Mexico, may God bless the souls of those in Las Vegas, and to all the fires that are happening right now in Northern California, this is the time you’ve got to take and really appreciate what life is about. Live life, don’t let life live you.”
His comments didn’t end there as he also took on President Donald Trump. “I want this to go all around the world,” he said. “Immigrants built the United States of America. … They should be building more schools instead of worried about building a wall. More than anything, with this amazing opportunity, this goes out to all the fallen soldiers that are out there fighting for us so we could enjoy this thing called freedom. Dale!”
