Ariana Grande Wants To Sample Kylie Jenner's Viral 'Rise And Shine'

Pop superstar Ariana Grande has requested permission to sample the "rise and shine" melody sung by "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star Kylie Jenner.

In a video posted to her YouTube channel, Jenner showed off her Kylie Cosmetics office, complete with a champagne vending machine and a playroom for her 1-year-old daughter, Stormi Webster, whom she awoke by singing "rise and shine" in a sing-song manner.

Jenner's melody has since gone viral and now resides in all corners of the internet; she even retweeted an electronic remix of the jingle made by one of her millions of dedicated fans.

The clip also found its way into Grande's feed before the 26-year-old songstress decided to post a cover of the melody to her Instagram Stories with the starry eyes filter and the caption "can i sample."

Jenner later responded, generously permitting Grande to sample the melody on the condition that she be featured in the song's music video.

"Yes, yes you can @arianagrande. As long as I'm in music video," she wrote.

The Black Eyed Peas and J Balvin have teamed up for "RITMO (Bad Boys for Life)," a song from the Bad Boys for Life soundtrack.

The track, which samples Corona's "The Rhythm of the Night," is a mix of hip-hop and pop. The lyrics are a mix of Spanish and English verses.

"Toda la noche rompemos, a el otro dia volvemos" (we break in all night, we come back next day), Balvin sings, and BEP joins, "Baby tonight is like fuego."

The video, directed by Colin Tilley, shows the singers performing the track on a stage decorated with neon lights, accompanied by Tron-esque dancers. The visual also features clips from the film itself, mostly showcasing Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in various car chases.

"I wanted to reimagine 'Rhythm of the Night' by Corona and give it a minimal, futurist, afro-fused reggaeton vibe," the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am said in a press release. "The final song and video feel like the classic next level futurism that the Black Eyed Peas are all about."

Balvin added, "I've been a Black Eyed Peas fan for as long as I can remember. They are legends and it's an honor to join them and become part of the sound of Bad Boys for Life."

Bad Boys for Life, featuring Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, is scheduled to arrive in theaters on January 10, 2020.

"RITMO (Bad Boys For Life)" is the Black Eyed Peas' first release on their new record label Epic Records.
