Read on to check out some of our favorite hits from the icon that is Mr. Worldwide, and tune in to Pitbull’s Globalization for everything Pitbull.
“I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)”
If you’re anything like us, this classic will immediately get stuck in your head — and we’re not sorry about it! Released in 2009, this catchy tune combines hip-hop with a Eurodance vibe, and it became Pitbull’s first international hit. The song is also influenced by Mr. 305’s Cuban heritage, as Calle Ocho is a street in Miami’s Little Havana neighborhood.
“Fireball”
Featuring vocals from John Ryan, no Pitbull playlist would be complete without this 2014 samba-inspired anthem. Appearing in everything from “The Emoji Movie” to the opening of Miss Universe 2020, “Fireball” is instantly recognizable and always sets the dance floor alight!
“Timber”
Combining a catchy dance-pop beat with folktronica country vibes makes for a match made in heaven! This 2013 hit features vocals from Kesha, who previously featured Pitbull on the official remix of her 2009 song “Tik Tok.” The song was a huge success, proving that Mr. Worldwide and Kesha make an amazing duo!
“Hotel Room Service”
This song may not have many words, but with a beat like this, they’re not needed! “Hotel Room Service” has been filling dance floors since 2009, as well as celebrating artists such as The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z with its inclusion of their lyrics.
“Give Me Everything”
Throw it back to 2011, and you’ll undoubtedly remember Pitbull’s first US number one. Featuring Ne-Yo, Nayer, and Dutch DJ Afrojack, this absolute banger cemented Mr. Worldwide’s icon status. After all, who can forget the iconic “Grab somebody sexy, tell ’em hey”?
