So what inspired this unexpected collaboration? Shelton’s dog, which is also named Black Betty.
“We were doing a show together in Pendleton, Oregon,” the rapper shared with PEOPLE. “We had a great time, the Crown [Royal] was amazing. Next thing you know I’m in the trailer, a little dog runs up on me. I go to pet the dog and I said, ‘Blake, what’s the dog’s name?’ and he said, ‘Black Betty.’”
So it stayed in my mind,” Pitbull explained, “When I jumped on the plane, I told DJ Chino, I said ‘Hey, don’t we got a record called ‘Black Betty’ that we’ve been sitting on?’”
He added, “And sure enough, he played it for me and we’re sitting on it from 2014, and now we’re shooting a video here in Nashville in 2020. Goes to show you, patience is a virtue.”
“Get Ready” Lyrics
You get on that horse, you better ride
We’re here for a long time (Blake Shelton)
We’re here for a good time

We’re here for a long time (it’s cowboy Casanova)
We’re here for a good time
(Pa’ Centro)
We’re here for a long time
We’re here for a good time
(Pa’ Dentro)
If you’re here for a good time put your hands up

Got ’em, that boy so solid
That’s what happens when you come from the bottom
305 Paradise City, where the girls got big ol’ booties and so pretty
Now shake that thang (shake that, shake that)
Work that thang (work that, work that)
Drop that thang (drop that, drop that)
Put your hands up
