Prince Royce’s “Back It Up” Music Video Featuring Jennifer Lopez & Pitbull Is CALIENTE! Watch The Premiere!
Prince Royce premiered at midnight on Tuesday, June 9, the music video for his new single “Back It Up” on VEVO. The upbeat song will appear on the Latin star’s forthcoming debut English-language album that is expected to hit stores later this year via RCA Records.
As expected, the version of “Back It Up” Prince shot a music video for was the Spanglish remix featuring the one and only Jennifer Lopez. So that makes Prince Royce, J.Lo and original collaborator Pitbull to be in a same music video.
Although I understand Prince for making the official music video feature this version and not the non-J.Lo original, I do think it should’ve better if he had asked Jenny to re-record her part and replace it with all English lyrics. Because although I think the Spanglish remix is cute, and the “papi chulo” bits sound super sexy sung by Jennifer, I believe this just won’t be fully supported by Top 40 radios in the USA due to the Spanish lyrics (it’s one whole verse of the song). They probably will just play the entirely-in-English original and that will suck.
As for the music video premiered today on VEVO, it’s a colorful one where Prince Royce sports awesome ZARA-esque fashion, Jennifer grinds on Mr. Royce in a tight and short white-leather dress, and Pitbull gets literally devoured by a thousand girls.
