AceShowbiz - It looks like Little Mix wants to follow in Justin Bieber's footsteps by releasing a Latin hit of their own. Following the global success of "Despacito" remix, the girlband has tapped Latin American group CNCO for a remix of their hit single "Reggaeton Lento", which was originally released last year.
The girls inject the tropical jam with some sexy, catchy English lines, including, "Boy, I can see the way you dancing, move that body/ I know it's crazy, but I feel like you could be/ The one I've been chasing in my dreams/ Boy, I can see you're looking at me like you want it/ Oh, usually I'm like, 'Whatever,' but tonight/ The way you moving got me with my mind."
With the British pop group's involvement, the new remix is predicted to be another global Latin anthem this year. The original song has been streamed more than 472 million times and viewed over one billion times on YouTube. Earlier this year, it landed atop Latin Pop Songs airplay chart.
Little Mix has taken to social media to announce the new collaboration. "We couldn't keep this quiet anymore," they tweeted, before posting a video that showed them thanking CNCO via video call. "We're so excited to be singing with you on the 'Reggaeton Lento' remix!" the girls gushed. CNCO then replied, "Can't wait for everyone to hear the new remix."

Just like Little Mix, CNCO emerged from one of Simon Cowell's talent shows. While the girl group is "The X Factor" alum, the boyband won "La Banda", a Latin talent show produced by Simon and Ricky Martin. CNCO was recently named the Best New Artist at Billboard Latin Music Awards.
