Planet Pit is the sixth studio album by the American rapper Pitbull; it was released on June 17, 2011, by Polo Grounds Music, Mr. 305 Entertainment, Sony Music and J Records. Production was handled by a variety of pop and hip hop producers including David Guetta, RedOne, Dr. Luke, Jim Jonsin, and Soulshock.
Musically, the album was created with the goal for every song on the album could possibly be serving as one of single. The album is influenced by Pitbull's childhood years listening to merengue, freestyle, cha-cha-cha, Miami bass, hip hop and dancehall.
The album debuted at number 7 on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 55,000 copies, becoming Pitbull's highest-charting album in the United States. This was Pitbull's final album for the J Records label, since the label would be discontinued during the summer of 2011.
"Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)" featuring T-Pain, was released on September 14, 2010 as the album's first single. The song peaked at number 7 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and number 10 in Canada and Australia.
"Give Me Everything" featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer, was released on March 18, 2011 as the album's second single. The song peaked at number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, in the UK and Canada, number 2 in Germany, France, Spain, Australia, and number 4 in Italy.
