"Back in Time"
Song

"Back in Time" is a song by American rapper Pitbull, released as the lead single from the soundtrack of sci-fi film sequel, Men in Black 3. The single was released via download on March 26, 2012, before being issued physically in Germany on May 25, 2012.[1]

Composition

"Back in Time" is a hip hop song with influences from 1950s R&B and rock and roll electro and dubstep.[citation needed] It features a breakdown featuring wobble bass often found in dubstep songs near the end of the song.[citation needed] The song samples the guitar riff and last verse from Mickey & Sylvia's hit single "Love is Strange", which can be heard in a scene set in an elevator during the movie.

Music video

A music video to accompany the release of "Back in Time" was first released onto Pitbull's official Vevo channel on April 20, 2012. A few hours after the video was uploaded, Vevo removed the video. An edited version of the video was later uploaded on April 21, 2012. This version removes three seconds of footage, removed due to a copyright claim. It begins with Pitbull in a locked room when a girl comes in and frees him. They have dinner at a restaurant (based on the scenes in the movie). Then, an alien attacks the restaurant and the girl shoots the alien with her gun and she and Pitbull leave the restaurant. Then, the video switches back and forth with Pitbull and his girlfriend at a party to the clips of the film. The video ends with Pitbull using the memory eraser to end the video with the sign "MIB/Pitbull".[4] There's also an Easter Egg 16 seconds into the video, where there's a lock that says "ACCESS GRANTED". Under "ACCESS GRANTED", it has HIJKLMN written in Unown.
