Pitbull spilled the beans in a recent interview he originally wanted Riri for the hook on his recent single “Timber” Feat Ke$ha, but that at that time Rihanna was wrapped up in a project with Shakira.

We know now what that project was. Both Shakira and Rihanna just confirmed the collaboration will be a song called “Can’t Remember To Forget” and announced a drop date on Twitter.

The song will be featured on Shakira’s next album, the follow-up to 2010’s Sale el Sol. We’ll have to wait a bit longer for that, but at least she’s holding us over with nuggets like this.

Make sure and revisit us on Jan 13 to preview the new song and look for Shakira back on “The Voice” as a coach when the show returns for its sixth season February 24 along with Usher, who will also be making his return to the show.
