The new video of Pitbull looked like a four-minute advertisement for Florida because that was exactly the same.

The music star signed with the state’s tourism marketing agency for an undisclosed amount and last week released a video for the song Sexy Beaches. The video included scenes from around two dozen Florida beaches stretching from the Panhandle to Key West.

The video showed images of iconic Florida hotels such as Miami Beach’s Fontainebleau and the pink Don CeSar Hotel in St Pete Beach and ended with an image of #LOVEFL written in the sand.

Visit Florida spokeswoman Kathy Torian said, It’s not clear how much Pitbull, whose real name is Armando Christian Perez, is getting paid. “We are not permitted to disclose certain aspects of our agreement”.

The song which had lines like “I wanna go somewhere exotic/Let the summer search my body” , was written before Pitbull signed with the state. The song was first released on Pitbull’s 2014 album, Globalization.

Torian said that the video was first released on the star’s Vevo channel later it was distributed through his social media accounts. The video has already reached more than 1 million views on YouTube.
