The Give Me Everything (Tonight) Songfacts reports that he adopted his canine moniker because, "They bite to lock. The dog is too stupid to lose. And they're outlawed in Dade County. They're basically everything that I am. It's been a constant fight."

His first recorded performance was on Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz album Kings of Crunk in 2002, after which he released his debut album, M.I.A.M.I., in 2004. He has since released 2006's El Mariel, 2007's The Boatlift and 2009's Rebelution, which debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200.

Pitbull's breakout hit was the Lil Jon collabo "Culo" produced by Lil Jon & The Diaz Brothers. In addition, Pitbull has also released several mixtapes, the most recent being Unleashed Volume 6, which are mostly composed of freestyles and remixes of popular rap music. Both thematically and musically, the 25-year-old is seen as a modern-day equivalent of earlier Miami rappers such as the 2 Live Crew and Afro-Rican. It was in fact former 2 Live Crew leader Luther Campbell who gave the up and coming rapper his first chance to shine. Apart from Crunk, his album shows clear influences from both Miami bass and freestyle. In addition to his musical work, Pitbull has also been featured in The Source expressing his stance on freedom fighter revolutionary leader Fidel Castro and he was also part of their Unsigned Hype Section. He contributed to an essay published in the New York Post that criticized freedom fighter revolutionary Che Guevara's iconization in clothing and other areas. In video games, Pitbull's hit single "Dammit Man" produced by Jim Jonsin is featured in Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition, and he also plays himself in the upcoming video game based on the 1980's Scarface. His super hit "Toma" is featured in WWE Day of Reckoning 2. Also, an album cut, "Back Up" produced by The Diaz Brothers, is featured on the EA game Fight Night: Round 2. In late 2005 he re-released "M.I.A.M.I." as a separate charting entry, whilst his "Welcome to the 305" mixtape was released. In January 2006 he guest-starred in UPN's South Beach. Also in 2006 he recorded "Nuestro Himno" in collaboration with Wyclef Jean, Carlos Ponce, and Olga Tañón.

The first single from El Mariel has been released, entitled "Bojangles". The album, slated for an October 31st release, will feature guest artists Lil Jon, Ken-Y of Rakim y Ken-Y, Rick Ross, Bun B and the Ying Yang Twins. El Mariel will lead up to Pitbull's 2007 release of an all-Spanish album entitled "Armando", which will have an Afro-Cuban feel[1]

All Night
Pitbull Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh oh, ooh, oh no
I see everybody around but it feels like we're in private
I know you want me so bad 'cause you just can't seem to hide it
The lights are moving to the rhythm of the music
When we're together
Everything just comes together, baby
So inspired by the moment we can lose it
I hope you're ready

As long as I see the strobe lights
I'm dancing all night long
When we're together baby
I'm feeling all right
You got me all night long
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it

Tonight the admission is free
Now we're shuttin' the club down
We're moving now to the streets
All we got left is love now

Feel my troubles fading to the rhythm of your heart beat
When we're together
Everything just comes together, baby
Every motion calls your name, baby, once you start me
And I hope you're ready

As long as I see the strobe lights
I'm dancing all night long
When we're together baby
I'm feeling all right
You got me all night long
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it

And you made me forget all my worries
Helped me put the past behind
Around us this world's in a hurry
While we stand still in time

The lights are moving to the rhythm of the music
When we're together
Everything just comes together, baby
So inspired by the moment we can lose it
And I hope you're ready

As long as I see the strobe lights
I'm dancing all night long
When we're together baby
I'm feeling all right
You got me all night long
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)
So tell the DJ play it

It's only you and me together
And this feeling's so strong
Wish I could stay like this forever
All night long (all night, all night, all night, all night)
All night long (all night, night, night, night)

Said, all night long
Yeah

Your desire for me is evident and impossible to conceal

We're transitioning to outdoor spaces, and love is all we have

Each movement evokes thoughts of you, and you ignite me

And you made me forget all my worries, helped me put the past behind
You caused me to forget my concerns and leave the past behind

Around us this world's in a hurry, while we stand still in time
The world rushes around us, but we remain unaffected by time's passing

It's only you and me together, and this feeling's so strong
It's just us, and the intensity of this emotion is overwhelming

Wish I could stay like this forever
Desiring for this moment to last eternally

Said, all night long
Emphasizing the duration of the night
