"I'm so excited. The radio positions gained impressive, in a few days (the song) is up more than 10 positions, so I'm very grateful to the public that is and has been requesting it. This song is growing much faster than the other, which has surprised and happy, just like Pitbull, who is also part of this song."

"Originally, I had not planned to record with Pitbull, but my producer is his friend and partner. One day, Vein provided me a beat that was originally for Pitbull, I was surprised. We talked to him and he gave me the song with the condition that we recorded it together."
