After Sean Paul hopped on the remix of Tory Lanez‘ hit “LUV,” Tory Lanez returns the favor and joins Sean Paul on “Tek Weh Yuh Heart.” The track samples Paul’s own 2000 hit “Deport Them,” giving us that dancehall flavor we love.

“Tek Weh Yuh Heart” follows Paul and Lanez, who have succeeded in bringing back a group of women to a lavish island mansion. The result is an intimate visual aesthetic that suits the song’s subtle, pulsating energy.

As a proud ambassador of Reggae and dancehall, Sean Paul continues to tap into various genres of music, including EDM, soca, pop, afro-beat and Latin, becoming a strong reference internationally for Jamaican music.

Having made history in 2014 with the longest run on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart with Bailando, a collaboration with Enrique Iglesias, he is breaking barriers and tapping into new markets for Jamaican music.

The artiste remains the only Jamaican to have won an American Music Award (2006) for Favourite Pop/Rock Male artiste and also the first Jamaican to be featured on the cover of Vibe Magazine. His energetic delivery of chart-topping hits also led to him being the first Jamaican to perform in Kazakstan as well Madagascar, increasing his fanbase and international reach.
