Adam’s love for Latin music and culture grew over his many years touring Latin America. He had been looking for a record to merge his sound and voice with the feel and movement of Latin music. On Maroon 5’s recent album JORDI, he collaborated with Anuel AA and Tainy on the track “Button” which sparked his desire to sing in Spanish on a Latin record, an opportunity that “Ojalá” provided by merging Maluma’s sensual lyrics with Adam’s iconic tone and melodies to create the perfect Latin pop record.
The Rudeboyz recently signed to NEON16, the company behind crossover hits such as “Un Día (One Day)” by Bad Bunny, Dua Lipa, J Balvin & Tainy, “I Like It,” by Cardi B, Bad Bunny & J Balvin, and “Summer of Love” by Shawn Mendes, and the global breakthrough of producer turned artist Tainy. Together they worked on developing the collaboration by tapping longtime Adam Levine collaborator J Kash who alongside Adam, The Rudeboyz and Lex Borrero crafted what would become “Ojalá.”
