Pitbull F/Ke$ha

Pitbull and Ke$ha, RCA Records label mates and recent touring partners,

have gleefully linked up for Mr. 305's new single, "Timber." The track was unveiled on Monday (Oct. 7) during Ryan Seacrest's syndicated radio show.

Pitbull first confirmed the release of "Timber" on Twitter last month, and told Seacrest that the inclusion of the harmonica on the song was partially inspired by the success of Avicii's country-tinged smash "Wake Me Up!" "I've been all around the world touring and it was a record from Avicii that was so big and had this country feel to it," says Pitbull. "This record came down produced by Dr. Luke, Cirkut and Sermstyle, and I said, 'Man I need to get my hands on that.' And being on tour with Ke$ha, we hit it off, and what better than to have a crazy, sexy, cool, beautiful woman on it with me."

"Timber" is now available at digital retailers, and Pitbull and Ke$ha will resume their tour in Australia on Oct. 30 in Brisbane. Last April, Pitbull assisted Ke$ha by hopping on a remix of her "Warrior" single "Crazy Kids."
