"Outta Nowhere" is a song by Cuban-American rapper Pitbull featuring Colombian-American recording artist Danny Mercer, taken from the former's seventh studio album Global Warming.[1] The song was released on May 28, 2013 by Mr. 305, Polo Grounds Music, and RCA Records as the second promotional single from the album.[2] "Outta Nowhere" was written by Armando C. Perez, Danny Mercer and James T. Huy while production was handled by Danny Mercer.[3]

Music video

The music video was filmed in July 2013 by director Jessy Terrero, however, due to unknown reasons, Pitbull decided to cancel the upload of the music video.[4]

Production

The song was initially recorded by Nicole Scherzinger, and a video of her recording the track can be found in her VH1 Behind the Music interview.[5] The song was then turned over to Nick Wells, whom recorded his version with Danny Murk[6] before being sent over to Pitbull for the final product.
