It is also available on the DVD and Blu-ray releases of the film. The video ends with Pitbull using the Neuralyzer to end the video with the sign "PIT/MIB". Then, the video switches back and forth with Pitbull and his girlfriend at a party to the clips of the film. Then, an alien attacks the restaurant and the girl shoots the alien with her gun and she and Pitbull leave the restaurant. They have dinner at a restaurant (based on the scenes in the movie). The music video begins with Pitbull in a locked room when a girl named Barbara Alba (his girlfriend) comes in and frees him.

The single was released via download on March 27, 2012, before being issued physically in Germany on May 25. Instead, it was released as the lead single from Pitbull's seventh studio album, Global Warming. While originally released as the lead single from the soundtrack of sci-fi film Men in Black 3, it is not featured on the album. But to quote Carl Wilson from his great 33 1/3 book on Celine Dion’s Let’s Talk About Love: “Maybe ‘filler’ is just the name we give to the songs aimed at the members of the audience who are least similar to us.”Īfter the cut, the two previous MIB songs as points of comparison also just for kicks, one of my favorite DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince songs." Back in Time" is a song by the American rapper Pitbull. “Back in Time” sounds less like a theme song and more like background it’s movie music for moments when you’re not supposed to pay attention to the music, and mere filler for the soundtrack album. The end result, however, is haphazard nothing really coheres. I understand the impulse to sample the 1956 song, especially for a movie about time travel. It would have been superior to this, the music glistening with kitsch and sweat. I also noticed shades of Swedish singer Günther in the spoken parts, which makes me think of Günther doing an MIB theme. Hopefully it involves Young Agent K and an alien reenacting the above scene from Dirty Dancing. You no doubt noticed the sample from “Love is Strange” by Mickey & Sylvia, which makes me think that the original song may play a part in the film. Instead, it’s Pitbull, with a track called “Back in Time.” It’s nowhere near as good as the Huey Lewis and the News song, but at least it’s better than the song from The Legend of Bagger Vance (some guy snoring in a mostly empty theater). Will Smith isn’t doing the theme song for Men in Black 3.
