    “International Love” was first released as a promotional single on May 29, 2011. Later, the song was released as the fourth official single from the album on November 1, 2011.

    The song was written by Pitbull, Soulshock, Peter Biker, Sean Hurley and Claude Kelly, and it was produced by Soulshock, Biker and Hurley. American R&B recording artist Chris Brown provides guest vocals on the hook and bridge. It is a dance-pop song, following the strong world dance music feel of the album.

    Lyrically, it finds the rapper spitting verses in praise of girls worldwide, ranging from Brazil where the ladies “are freaky big oh booty” to Greece where, “the women are sweet.” In one verse, Pitbull sings: “I don’t play football, but I’ve touched down everywhere, I don’t play baseball, but I’ve hit a home run everywhere, I’ve been to countries and cities I can’t pronounce, and to places on the globe I ain’t know existed.” After that come saucy remarks about the women of Romania, Lebanon and Greece. He mentions at least nine places. During the middle eight breakdown, Brown croons: “There’s not a place that your love don’t affect me, baby / So don’t ever change, across the globe when I’m with you, baby.”

    On December 8, 2011, a teaser of the video was released. The preview showed the singers decked out in black suits and ties, working their best moves in front of a green screen. The full music video was released on December 9, 2011. The video shows the duo traveling the world by CGI and green screen effects. The various cityscapes are projected behind the sharply dressed guys as they rap and sing about living it up and loving the many ladies around the world. Erin Strecker of Entertainment Weekly’s Music Mix, described the video, writing: “The extra-planetary party is a greenscreen orgy in the sky, complete with women, dance moves, and some oddly placed all-American body paint (at 3:20).”
