We are all the unidentified bystander sitting on the hotel couch in J. Lo’s Instagram post from Friday, giggling hysterically in her flannel, phone in hand while Lopez hams for the camera alongside one of her newest collaborators. Yes children, it’s Skrillex, and the producer seems to have crafted another crossover hit for Jenny from the Block.

Songwriter Poo Bear, one of the Biebs’ main star makers, is on board too, judging from the video’s caption. We’re gonna go ahead and give him credit for the wild range of the chorus, a few high-dive notes from Lopez that you better believe radio is going to lose its mind over.

The link-up is one of several diverse projects Skrillex has in the works — he also has tracks with emerging London producer Oshi and Austin rock band Spoon coming down the pipeline. Skrillex hasn’t ever stayed loyal to any particular genre, but have fun figuring out the dimensions of the next Jack Ü release, kids (if you’re into that).

And can we talk about J. Lo’s carefree, white-tee attitude here? Call it A-Rod-related joy, artistic ecstasy, or go with an alternative theory: high-key hoverboard shade.
