Pitbull Applauds Bridgerton for Unique Take on 'Give Me Everything'

The world of Bridgerton continues to surprise and delight its fans with innovative choices, and the latest season has added another feather to its cap. The Netflix show's unexpected use of Pitbull's 2011 hit "Give Me Everything" has garnered significant attention and praise, notably from the rapper himself. In a heartfelt Instagram post on May 21st, Pitbull expressed his excitement and support at being included.

Pitbull, 43, expressed his enthusiasm for this unique collaboration on social media. Accompanying a clip from the show, he acknowledged the universal language of music and thanked the Bridgerton team for the opportunity. "Give Me Everything," which originally featured NE-YO, Afrojack, and Nayer, was a massive hit when it came out, and the show's inclusion of the song shows how much people still love it.

The decision to feature a string cover of "Give Me Everything" in a pivotal scene between Nicola Coughlan and Luke Newton was a bold and effective choice by the director team. Fans were pleasantly surprised by the classical rendition of the dance hit, which provided a compelling backdrop to a steamy scene in the first part of season 3.

Showrunner Jess Brownell discussed including the track in an interview with Business Insider. She mentioned being struck by the song's incredible build when she first heard it, even without recognizing it as a Pitbull song. Brownell highlighted how the song's crescendos matched the emotional intensity of the scene, effectively capturing the culmination of years of friendship and Penelope's crush. Music supervisor Justin Kamps echoed these sentiments in a discussion with Tudum, describing the song's perfect fit for the scene. He explained that the song's build created the necessary anticipation, leading to a powerful explosion into the main chorus, which matched the on-screen action. This thoughtful selection highlights the meticulous attention to detail that has made Bridgerton a standout series on Netflix.
