Pitbull: Confirms recording of 'Men in Black 3' theme tune

Rapper Pitbull has confirmed that he has recorded the theme tune for 'Men in Black 3'.

The performer will release 'Back in Time' as his new single, which will also be included as part of the soundtrack for the next installment of the alien series.

"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," Pitbull said.

"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'."

This new song 'Back in Time' was written especially for the film by Pitbull, Marc Kinchen, Adrian Trejo and Urales Vargas and features a sample of the 1950s classic 'Love Is Strange' by Mickey and Sylvia.

MIB3 theme song will go to radio on March 26 and be released as a download in the UK on May 6.

The third sequel to Men in Black will be in cinemas from May 25.
