Pitbull ft. Christina Aguilera | Feel This Moment (2013)

"Feel This Moment" is a song by the American rapper Pitbull, featuring American singer Christina Aguilera. The song was released on February 22, 2013, as the fourth single from the album by Mr. 305, Polo Grounds Music and RCA Records Global Warming, which was released in 2012.

It is a dance-pop number that talks about stopping to take a moment to appreciate life. "Feel This Moment" was written by the artists alongside Chantal Kreviazuk and producers Nasri Atweh, Adam Messinger, Sir Nolan, and DJ Buddha. The song interpolates "Take On Me" by A-ha, written and composed by Morten Harket, Paul Waaktaar-Savoy, and Magne Furuholmen.


"Feel This Moment" received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who praised Aguilera's appearance and the ”Take On Me” interpolation used on the song, and some of whom compared the song's theme to songs by Ludacris, David Guetta, Usher and Kesha. "Feel This Moment" was a commercial success, peaking at number eight on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified quadruple platinum in October 2020.


Outside of the United States, "Feel This Moment" peaked within the top ten of the charts in many countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. It garnered multiple certifications in many regions, including by the Australian Recording Industry Association and the British Phonographic Industry.


An accompanying music video for "Feel This Moment" was directed by David Rousseau and was released on March 15, 2013. The video was shot in a black and white scene, featuring several shots from Pitbull's Planet Pit World Tour and Aguilera with big curly hair. The clip garnered positive feedback, who praised Aguilera's new figure in it. At the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, the video was nominated for Best Collaboration.


The duo performed "Feel This Moment" on a number of occasions, including at the 2012 American Music Awards, 2013 Kids' Choice Awards, and the 2013 Billboard Music Awards; in this last, Morten Harket himself, the lead-singer of A-ha, was featured as a guest star.
