Comments: In writing this entry, I couldn't decide which version of this song to use, so I used both. That being said, I have a serious bone to pick with the 'Top 40' (pop) stations in my area. This is not "We Run the Night -- the new Pitbull song." First, it is Havana Brown featuring Pitbull, not the other way around. Second, this was a perfectly good (I'd argue better) song before RedOne had the bright idea to make a new version of it featuring Pitbull. He, and to a lesser extent RedOne, have both begun to annoy me. Having lately seen this image floating around Facebook, I've begun to realize how little Pitbull puts into his songs. Also, he personally annoys me in this song by announcing himself and RedOne, but not Havana Brown, a little-known artist who could greatly benefit from the fame. As to RedOne, I'm beginning to feel as though his songs are a tad over-produced. Anyway, the original by Havana Brown is excellent in its own right. You should definitely give it a listen. And next time your radio tries to tell you that "We Run the Night" is the new Pitbull song, you can smile and think you know more than the DJ. Happy Monday!

Comments: Stuck In My Skull is always proud to bring you the hottest, the freshest, the fastest, and tonight, a special weekend entry to bring you this hot new track, less than a day old! So far, still no official music video, but if one pops up, I'll let you know.
As for the song itself, it's pretty nice. I feel quite confident that it's going to be getting lots of play on the dance floor, with an excellent, steady beat that demands to be danced to. Jennifer Lopez's performance is excellent, but in all fairness, though, Pitbull disappoints me here. He really needs to find something besides sex to sing about. He does it quite well, but it's getting old. Also, enough about Voli vodka. We know you're being paid to endorse it, but this is getting ridiculous.My gripes aside, I still say this is an excellent song. Take a listen!

Edit: Also, this song proves my long-held theory that RedOne is running the pop music industry. Just sayin'. (For the record, that's a joke, not a conspiracy theory.)
