Different versions[edit]
The song has also been recorded in three international versions: in Portuguese, with Brazilian singer and actress Negra Li, in Dutch, with Dutch singer Brace, and in Spanglish, with Mexican singer/actress/songwriter Dulce María. The rap from the original was removed, and Colby O'Donis' vocals were also removed in favor of the other singers.
The Spanglish version was first performed in an event at Mexico, in April 1, 2009. On the next day, it was leaked for airing and on the internet. The Portuguese version was leaked two days before.
The music videos in Portuguese, Dutch and Spanglish were released at YouTube on June 2, 8 and 9, respectively.
On the Australian compilation album So Fresh Summer 2010 only, a version features a singing verse sung by Laura Daniel (Riley's voice actor from The Barefoot Bandits) replaced Kardinal Offishall's rapping lines.
