We finally know what Maluma and Adam Levine were working on this past summer. Back in June, the 28-year-old global superstar shared a black-and-white Instagram photo of him and Levine in the studio, and on Oct. 13, they dropped a snippet of their upcoming collaboration with producers Rude Boyz titled "Ojalá.
Levine shared a clip of the track on TikTok, captioning it, "#Ojala @RUDEBOYZ @Juan Luis." Meanwhile, Maluma dropped a snippet of the accompanying music video on Instagram, captioning it, "'#OJALA que cuando el te lo haga pienses en mi..' SOON / PRONTO..!!"
In the song, Levine sings in Spanish, "Ojalá que cuando él te lo haga, pienses en mi / Ojalá que sea mi nombre que quieras repetir," which translates to "Hopefully, when he does it to you, you think of me / Hopefully, it's my name that you want to repeat" in English.

The surprise collaboration follows Maluma's recent single "Junio," which is his first No. 1 debut in nearly six years on Billboard's Latin Airplay chart. Levine, on the other hand, made headlines last month after Instagram model Sumner Stroh claimed the two had an affair. The allegations surfaced just days after Levine and his wife, Behati Prinsloo, confirmed they're expecting their third child together.
The 43-year-old Maroon 5 frontman denied the cheating allegations and took responsibility for actions that he says "crossed the line." In a statement posted on his Instagram Story on Sept. 20, he wrote, "A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air. I used poor judgement in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner. I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life."
He continued: "My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. To be this naive and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make. I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it. And we will get through it together."
