“Hey Ma” is a song by J Balvin and Pitbull featuring Camila Cabello. This is the first time that they work together.
The song is off of the soundtrack for The Fate Of The Furious movie and it is featured in both English and Spanish.
It’s a love song with a Latin flavour and a catchy chorus. J Balvin and Camila play the lovers in the song while Pitbull takes is verse to dedicate it to Cuba.
In a first stage the song was recorded by Pitbull, Britney Spears and Romeo Santos, but the producers of the movie decided to re-record it replacing the former with J Balvin and Camila Cabello to make it fit better with the opening scene setted in Cuba. Pitbull revealed this story in an interview:
At first, it was me and Romeo Santos. Britney Spears ended up on the record. Fast and Furious ends up loving the record, and they brought on board J Balvin and Camila Cabello. So, it’s been an interesting journey. To watch it go on to become the intro of the movie — the first huge movie franchise to shoot in Cuba — is an amazing honor. It was a pleasure to work with everybody on that record
The first news about this collaboration emerged with some images that appeared online with the three artists recording the music video together.
