J Balvin released the infectious new tune on Thursday, with the music video released a day later.

In a behind-the-scenes clip for the upcoming video posted by Entertainment Tonight, the duo find themselves in at Utah’s Lake Powell among cars, helicopters and a slew of dancers.

“Working with artists like Sean and J Balvin, these are the kind of artists that I like to work with because they actually do things that are different and they are not afraid to take planes, trains and automobiles to get out to a place like this,” director Andy Hines says in the behind-the-scenes. “[This] is a location where no one has really shot here before. I’m super excited already and I can’t wait to share.”

The duo collaborated previously on Major Lazer’s 2017 track “Buscando Huellas.”

Rivera had personally wanted to support and launch aspiring Latino singers, according to family spokesperson.

JRE/Divina Music, based in Los Angeles, was in the works in 2010 by Rivera who was already eyeing talent for the label. The label eventually signed bilingual singer Monica Padilla.

The label will also include a project by sibling Juan Rivera in addition to a Christian themed album by Rivera’s daughter Jacqie, who performed at her mother’s memorial.

The songstress’ sister Rosie Rivera, the administrator of Rivera’s estate, said in a statement that her sister “had many expectations of this project as a label… we are putting a lot of energy to complete her dreams.”

Padilla’s album, Contra la Pared, is scheduled for release later in 2013. Not only was Rivera part of the creative team that made the album a reality, she also promoted Padilla during an L.A concert.

Distribution details for JRE/Divina Music were not immediately available.
