Pitbull has welcomed the use of an instrumental version of his song “Give Me Everything” during a sex scene in the latest episode of Netflix’s hit period drama Bridgerton. The popular show stars Nicola Coughlan as Penelope Featherington, a young woman traversing the marriage market in Regency London while also navigating her feelings for her friend, Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton). Since its first season in 2020, Bridgerton has regularly featured string versions of pop songs by Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, and Ariana Grande for scenes set in ballrooms, grand estates, and, in this case, carriages.
*Spoiler warning* In a closing scene in episode four, season three, Colin has finally admitted his feelings to Penelope after interupting her dance with another suitor. After chasing down her carriage, he and Penelope engage in some steamy behaviour soundtracked by Pitbull’s 2011 song. “This again shows the world how music is the international language that transcends over boundaries more so how a hit song can remain timeless,” Pitbull, real name Armando Christian Pérez, wrote on Instagram in response to the episode.
Sharing a clip of the scene in question, the 43-year-old added: “Thank you @bridgertonnetflix and @netflix for the opportunity, Dale!” He also tagged his original collaborators on the track, Ne-Yo and Afrojack. Pitbull rose to fame as a pop artist in the 2010s after an earlier career in reggaeton and Latin hip-hop, with hits including 200.
