Lambert and Iglesias previously teased the collaboration via social media on Feb. 12, with Lambert saying, “Texas meets Spain! Can’t wait for y’all to hear this one.”
Iglesias has notched several Billboard Hot 100 hits, including the No. 1 smashes “Bailamos” (1999) and “Be With You” (2000) as well as three other top five hits: “Hero” in 2001 (No. 3), “I Like It” with Pitbull in 2010 (No. 4) and “Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You)” with Ludacris and DJ Frank E in 2011 (No. 4). He was named one of Billboard‘s Top-Grossing Latin Artists of All Time. Additionally, he’s earned eight chart-topping albums on Billboard‘s Top Latin Albums, including 1997’s Vivir (15 weeks at the chart pinnacle) and 2014’s Sex and Love (16 weeks).
Meanwhile, Lambert has launched seven of her albums to the top of Billboard‘s Top Country Albums chart and is the artist with the most Academy of Country Music Awards wins in history, with nearly 40 trophies, including the ACM’s triple crown honor.
Their collaboration adds to a lengthy list of country/Latin collaborations over the decades. Iglesias’ father, Latin music star Julio Iglesias, earned a two-week No. 1 Hot Country Songs hit with the 1984 Willie Nelson duet “To All the Girls I’ve Loved Before”; Iglesias and Nelson won a CMA Award that year for vocal duo of the year. Nelson and Iglesias also earned a top 10 country hit in 1988 with “Spanish Eyes.”
Country trio Midland teamed with Jay De La Cueva for a Spanish-language version of their hit “Drinkin’ Problem.” Oklahoma native Carrie Underwood performed with Latin artist David Bisbal for the bilingual song “Tears of Gold,” while Kane Brown teamed with Becky G for a Spanish remix of “Lost in the Middle of Nowhere,” and more recently with Carin León for “The One (Pero No Como Yo).” Meanwhile, Cuban-American MC and rapper Pitbull has collaborated with country music artists including Zac Brown, Blake Shelton and, most recently, Dolly Parton.
