The `Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor)` hitmaker said he felt "special" and that it was an "honour" to guest star on the US actor, singer and `American Idol` judge`s forthcoming comeback single, `On The Floor` - which she has said describes a feeling "emotionally connected" to from the first time she heard it.
The Cuban American rapper said: "I definitely felt special when I got the call from Jennifer Lopez. It`s an honour as she`s someone that opened the door for artists such as myself.
"Jennifer is a hurricane that we all know can strike when the stars are aligned."
Pitbull added he fulfilled another of his ambitions with the track, working with producer Red One - who has collaborated with Lady Gaga on huge hits including `Just Dance` and `Telephone` and Nicole Scherzinger on her single `Poison`.
He added: "To be able to work with Red One was a blessing. He`s a great artist, a great producer and a great person. The record looks like it`s going to be a great hit."
The 30 year old star is meanwhile poised to release his sixth album under his own name, `Planet Pit`, which he says he made with a view to uniting his fans.
He added: "I named it `Planet Pit` to represent a planet that we`ve created, where no matter where you`re from you can communicate and enjoy each other through music. I wanted to use music to show everybody that we`re a lot more similar than we are different."
Pitbull`s single `Hey Baby (Drop It To The Floor)` is released on February 13.
