Agent Armando Bond aka Pitbull reports for duty on “Back in Time,” the theme song for the upcoming sci-fi action comedy Men in Black 3 starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Mr. Worldwide penned the radio-ready record, which features a sample of Mickey & Sylvia’s 1950s hit “Love Is Strange.”

“It’s an incredible honor to be a part of such an amazing franchise as Men in Black and I have so much respect for Will Smith, especially with our similar musical backgrounds,” said Pitbull. “Wanting to keep the music fun yet modern, we used the slogan of the movie and flipped it back into the song that ‘in order to understand the future, you have to go back in time.’”

Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of MIB3, added, “My 19-year-old daughter turned me on to Pitbull. I’m thrilled that he wrote such a great song for our movie that totally gets it.”

Jay Sean is betting big on his next record. The Cash Money crooner could barely contain his excitement while speaking about his Pitbull-assisted single “I’m All Yours,” set to drop in the next month.

“It’s gonna be a smash and I’m saying it right now because the video is insane,” he told Rap-Up TV at Cash Money’s pre-Grammy party in Hollywood. “We shot it in Miami—yachts, helicopters, speed boats, all of that good stuff.”

The song will appear on his upcoming fourth album, which he likened to his 2011 mixtape The Mistress.

“Half of the album is R&B. It’s slow jams,” he explained. “It’s the kind of stuff I’ve been dying to do, but never had the chance. But the way I looked at it, I’ve been 10 years in the game now, it’s about time that I can get a little sexy on this album.”

Fans of his dance floor-ready hits like “Down” won’t be disappointed though. “Of course I’m not gonna not give them the other side of me, which is the fun side of me—the party guy, the guy who just likes to enjoy himself.”

Pitbull and Chris Brown touched down at Univision’s Latin music awards show “Premio Lo Nuestro” with a super-sized performance.
