The theme song to the highly anticipated action adventure comedy 'Men in Black 3', titled 'Back In Time,' has been written and recorded by Pitbull. In the UK the song will be available as a digital download on 6th May and will be released to radio on 26th March. 'Men in Black 3' will be released in 3D in cinemas nationwide from 25th May 2012.
'Back In Time' was written for the film by Pitbull, Marc Kinchen, Adrian Trejo and Urales Vargas and features a sample of the 1950s hit 'Love is Strange,' written by Sylvia Robinson, Ellas McDaniel and Mickey Baker, which went to Number One for the R&B duo Mickey and Sylvia.
“It's an incredible honor to be a part of such an amazing franchise as Men in Black and I have so much respect for Will Smith, especially with our similar musical backgrounds,” says Pitbull. “Wanting to keep the music fun yet modern, we used the slogan of the movie and flipped it back into the song that 'in order to understand the future, you have to go back in time.’”
Barry Sonnenfeld, the director of the film, added, “My 19-year-old daughter turned me on to Pitbull. I'm thrilled that he wrote such a great song for our movie that totally gets it.”
In 'Men in Black 3', Agents J (Will Smith) and K (Tommy Lee Jones) are back... in time. J has seen some inexplicable things in his 15 years with the Men in Black, but nothing, not even aliens, perplexes him as much as his wry, reticent partner. But when K's life and the fate of the planet are put at stake, Agent J will have to travel back in time to put things right. J discovers that there are secrets to the universe that K never told him -- secrets that will reveal themselves as he teams up with the young Agent K (Josh Brolin) to save his partner, the agency, and the future of humankind. Barry Sonnenfeld directs the film. The film’s screenplay is written by Etan Cohen, based on the Malibu Comic by Lowell Cunningham. Walter F. Parkes and Laurie MacDonald produce, and Steven Spielberg and G. Mac Brown are the executive producers.
