"The Anthem" is the second single released by Pitbull off his 2007 album The Boatlift. It features crunk rapper Lil Jon. The intro line, as well as the song's main hook, is taken from a 90s old Latin hit "El Africano" by Wilfrido Vargas. It samples the song "Calabria", which was popularized by Enur. A remix of this single was made by Trinidadian Soca Artiste Machel Montano entitled "Defense" on his album Flame on. This song is notable because its primary beat is played by a synthesized saxophone.
Music video
The music video for the song was shot in Trinidad and Tobago, Miami and Atlanta.1 The video became a dedication to Natasja Saad.
