Martin and the 22-year-old Colombian reggaeton singer traded verses poolside at the SLS Miami Beach during a music video shoot for the track, which will be released on September 23, along with the music video directed by Jessy Terrero.

Billboard has released exclusive photos of Martin and Maluma shooting scenes in multiple locations at the hotel, including the pool area, where they shared the spotlight with some 50 extras, men and women, flaunting toned abs.

“Vente Pa’Ca” is a party track set over a sultry reggaetón beat. It was written by producer Alexander Castillo Vásquez (aka A.C.) who works with Dr. Luke and has written for the likes of R. Kelly, Pitbull and Justin Bieber.

Lyrics for the Spanish-language song were penned by Mau y Ricky Montaner, sons of Ricardo Montaner.

An English version is also in the works.

It was Martin’s idea to invite Maluma into the mix for the Spanish track; the Colombian star is on multiple remixes and duets lately, including one of Carlos Vives and Shakira’s “La Bicicleta.”

Following a high-octane beach shoot in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Jennifer Lopez has released the official music video for her latest single “Live It Up.”

The four-and-a-half-minute clip opens with Lopez, dressed in a black showgirl costume, being fussed over by her team of make-up artists and wardrobe assistants when she gets a call from track collaborator Pitbull, who then breaks out into his rap intro surrounded by scantily-clad women on the beachfront.

When it’s her turn to drop her verse on the track, she struts her stuff on the runway with two of her back-up dancers.

After her show stopping song-and-dance number, a slew of runway models follow suit, working the catwalk in their designer gowns, and this is where America’s Next Top Model star Eva Marcille works her magic.

But not a moment longer, J. Lo reappears in a bright red ensemble of thigh-high leather boots and a swimsuit-cut outfit with feathered sleeves that reveal her assets.

After her catwalk invasion, Lopez then meets up with Pitbull for a rocking beach party. Then for a grand finish, J. Lo goes back onstage with her crew of back-up dancers, showing off the moves that viewers first saw them perform during her live performance on “Idol”, before re-appearing in beachwear and blowing a kiss towards the camera wearing yellow lipstick.

Other interviews include The Voice season one winner Javier Colon, actresses Gina Torres and Judy Reyes, pop singer Kat de Luna and music video director Jessy Terrero.
