Mark Zuckerberg
and T-Pain collaborated to release one of the most unforeseen songs of the year on Wednesday:
an acoustic version of Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz’s “Get Low.”
The Facebook founder and Meta CEO teased the cover on Tuesday when he shared a picture of himself and T-Pain on his Instagram story with the caption, “It’s happening guys.”
Singer-songwriter and producer T-Pain followed suit, sharing the same image and referencing Zuckerberg as “Z,” a nod to the pair’s moniker on the track, Z-Pain.
The collaboration was an anniversary present for Zuckerberg’s wife, Priscilla Chan, according to his Instagram post announcing the song’s release.
“‘Get Low’ was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary,” Zuckerberg captioned the post. “This year I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece. Sound on for the track and also available on Spotify. Love you P ❤️”
Also included in the post was a photo of lyrics from the song encircled by a heart, an album cover with T-Pain and Zuckerberg holding up guitars and many images of “Z-Pain” working in a recording studio.
T-Pain wrote on
, “Z-Pain has arrived … Get Low by zuck and me out now.”
Originally released in 2002 by Lil Jon and The East Side Boyz, “Get Low” was the third single from the rap group’s ‘Kings Of Crunk’ album.
“Z-Pain’s” version has a much slower tempo, complete with Zuckerberg’s auto-tuned vocal serenade and a cameo from T-Pain.
Zuckerberg, currently
the world’s second richest person
, shared Chan’s laughing reaction to the song on his
Instagram story
.
“It’s so romantic,” she said. “21 years later, I can’t get quite as low, but it brings back a lot of fun memories.”
