Pitbull's New Video Unleashes The Global Fight Song We've Been Waiting For

Any time Pitbull walks into the room bedecked in all black, he's there to nickname some company. The global superstar does exactly that in his celebratory new video for "I Believe That We'll Win (World Anthem)," a unifying anthem recorded throughout the coronavirus pandemic. This time, his corporation is keeping hope alive and spreading a message of positivity while in a time of wonderful uncertainty.


It's no small feat, especially given the relentlessness of this particular virus. Although Mr. Worldwide is relentless, also — hence the black attire.


"In one of the neighborhoods I lived in in Miami, which is called Wynwood, we used to mention, 'Don't talk about it, be about it.' So as soon as you showed up in all black, everybody knew you were all agency he told MTV News this week. "I mean company as soon as I'm walking out in all black in that gym."


In the new video, Pitbull is at first a lone wolf, entering the health club at Miami charter school SLAM (Sports Leadership and Management) to find vast emptiness — no cheering audiences in the bleachers, no kids throwing free throws. It immediately reflects our collective moment of isolation, however it also speaks to what's been lost since our day-to-day lives have been halted to stop the spread of the virus.


Speedily, though, he's joined by means of the video by people around the world singing and dancing along to the song, including medical workers fighting the pandemic. "The true heroes in this story are those on the front line, those that are in the hospitals, those that are in the factories making sure that we get food on the table, those making sure we're just getting fed and helped, one way or another," he said.


Mr. 305 considers himself a fighter in this battle as well. "As an artist, music being my motivational force, I'm on the front line fighting for the world and letting them know that don't worry, no matter what, we got this," he mentioned. "I just got dressed in all black willing to go to war for them."


By the end of the clip, the gym's bleachers have been filled, yet not by people. Alternatively, Pitbull delivers the song's strengthening message in front of a glowing wall of laptop monitors, each representing another voice. Ahead of the video, he shared the instructions for the chest-pounding chant on his Instagram page. The unified result is powerful.


In particular, he shouted out the power of the New Jersey medical workers who filmed themselves united for the I Believe Challenge in front of their hospital. "That gave me goosebumps and made me cry tears of joy," he mentioned. "It goes to show how music unites. It doesn't divide. Music heals. Music brings people with each other. Everybody will come with each other to fight for one thing."


Likewise, "I Believe That We are going to Win (Global Anthem)" came with each other right after Pitbull seen a video of the chant taking over a group at a basketball game. He had his vocals on the song ready the next day, which was only a couple of days into quarantine. "I saw the energy of the complete arena losing their mind and just prepared compete, willing fight, willing to win," he said.


That energy thrives in both the song and the video, electrified over the course of two and also 1/2 minutes. Nevertheless you already knew that — this is Mr. Worldwide we're talking about. Within the past few months, we've seen artists attempt airy, idyllic, and earnest takes in hopes of keeping the spirit of the world elevated while in a unprecedented global calamity. Those are nice! Pitbull's chest-beating anthem, on the other hand, is maybe the initial one to inspire the actual feeling of victory — not that we're there nevertheless, however that if we keep up the collective energy, we can get there with each other before long.


"You're either gonna face everything and rise, or you're gonna forget everything and run. I believe that we plan to face everything and rise," he mentioned. "So to the world out there: Bottom line? Stand up."
