Warning: spoilers ahead for Bridgerton Season Three.

In the latest season, which has just arrived Netflix, an orchestral version of Pitbull’s 2011 song ‘Give Me Everything’ is used to soundtrack a climatic and romantic scene between Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).

The orchestral version of the track soon went viral on social media. Scored by Archer Marsh, Bridgerton’s music director, Justin Kamps, used the version to soundtrack the scene.

Check out the original and the orchestral version here:

“I think everyone was a little bit shocked that they were so in love with this Pitbull song cover for this sequence, of all things,” music director Justin Kamps said in an interview with Netflix’s Tudum about the inclusion of the song.

He continued: “But the song is amazing, and it has this great build to it, and that’s what the scene really needed. It needed this anticipation and then an explosion into the main chorus of the song as we see what’s happening on screen.”

In a three star review of the new season, NME said: “Based on a series of blockbuster novels by Julia Quinn, Bridgerton may be more playful and progressive than most shows of this ilk, but it still relies on tired tropes like the need to beget a male son and heir. Thankfully, even at its cheesiest, it’s a treat to look at. Queen Charlotte’s brilliantly ridiculous wigs are set off by Rosheuvel’s scene-stealing facial expressions: her bored and haughty look is particularly meme-able.

“If you don’t have much of a sweet tooth, this still won’t be the show for you. But if you’re craving an early-summer pick-me-up, you’ll devour these warm and watchable episodes in one scrummy sitting.”
