What parents need to know
Parents need to know that "International Love" is about hooking up with different women all over the world. While the lyrics aren't as graphic as many hip-hop or R&B tracks, there are a few fairly steamy lyrics about random sexual encounters ("I don’t play football but I’ve touched down everywhere / I don’t play baseball but I’ve hit a homerun everywhere") and women's bodies ( talk of "boobies" and booties"), making it best for older kids.
What's the story?
Rap and R&B collide once again in "INTERNATIONAL LOVE," the single pairing Latin rapper Pitbull with R&B singer Chris Brown. In this track from Pitbull's sixth album, Planet Pit, the two stars set out to take the world by storm -- and rack up plenty of female conquests along the way.
Is it any good?
Pitbull's driving rap delivery and Chris Brown's smooth R&B vocals combine to good effect in this song. While the synth-beat backing them is nothing new, the strong talents displayed by both artists will surely be enough to push this song into heavy club rotation.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the dangers involved in getting intimate with a lot of people, especially ones you don't know.
What are some of the consequences of hooking up with strangers?
Why do so many hip-hop songs celebrate random hookups? Do you see this theme in other genres as well?

Better than Most...
This is one of my favorite songs, although Pitbull's rapping part can get a litttle weird sometimes. They say that woman in Brazil have "big booties" and there are a few sexual references, so your kid should have a basic understanting of you-know-what. But it's a really good song, and it doesn't have a horrible message like some of his other songs. :)

Not TOO bad...
I thinks it's a good song, no swear words, although there is one line, "Big old boobies." Not that bad, maybe not okay for kids under the preteen age if you are really worried about what your kids are listening to. Some sextual lines, but nothing too dirty.

Pitbull wants love everywhere
I actually found myself laughing at this song. Pitbull really knows the Miami lifestyle, rapping about Brazilians in blue, yellow, and green thongs with large.. chests. The lyrics are actually pretty well thought out, however, with references to many cities around the globe (hence the title International Love). I think it would be nice if Pitbull kept it in the pants every once in a while, but this song is pretty good.
