The collaboration marks Smith’s return to music since his 2005 album Lost and Found. Smith discovered Bomba Estereo, known for its blend of Latin, tropical and electro sounds, on a recent trip to Colombia. He then asked the group to collaborate.
Smith raps in both English and Spanish on the song. He recently shot a music video for the remix.
