Country music fans were in for a surprise when Dolly Parton teamed up with Pitbull for a revamped version of the classic anthem "9 to 5." In mid-February, Pitbull released a new song titled "Powerful Women," which paid tribute to his hardworking mother's sacrifices. What makes this collaboration truly unique is the fact that the track samples Parton's original hit and features her singing the chorus. But there's more: Parton also contributed a new verse to the song, showcasing her rapping skills.

Recently, Pitbull and Dolly shared a photo on Instagram, showcasing their collaboration and mutual admiration.

This unexpected partnership comes at a time when other artists, like Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, are exploring new genres and collaborations. Parton herself has dabbled in various musical styles, including rock music.

For Pitbull, this isn't his first venture into country music, having previously worked with other country artists. The unexpected blend of genres in "Powerful Women" is a refreshing twist that showcases the power of music to bring artists together across different styles and backgrounds.
