Facebook co-founder and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg released a song with T-Pain on Wednesday—a cover of Lil Jon’s “Get Low.” And if you’re thinking “hey, that sounds terrible,” you really don’t know the half of it. Because listening to this song may make you question some very fundamental things about the world. Like whether the invention of music itself was a bad idea.
Zuck and T-Pain have dubbed their collaboration “Z-Pain,” and it appears the song was an anniversary gift to the Meta CEO’s wife Priscilla Chan. Or, to put it more specifically, a “date-aversary” gift.
“‘Get Low’ was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary,” Zuckerberg wrote Wednesday on Instagram. “This year I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece. Sound on for the track and also available on Spotify. Love you P.”
The Instagram post includes photos of Zuck and T-Pain in the studio recording the song. And an Instagram Reels video shows Chan’s reaction to the video, with captions like “surprising my wife” and “she likes it, maybe?”
“Oh my God, it says Z-Pain,” Chan says in the video, responding with “so romantic” after hearing the line “sweat drop down my balls.”
“Is that the most romantic thing I’ve ever done?” Zuck asks.
“It’s so romantic. Twenty-one years later I can’t get quite as low, but it brings back a lot of fond memories,” Chan says.
Zuck has been trying to reinvent himself through aesthetic changes in his hair and clothes recently, but this song does seem like a new adventure into trying to remain culturally relevant. Or it could just be a silly thing that one really rich guy wanted to do.
And Zuck is absolutely correct that you can hear it for yourself on Spotify. If you’re so inclined. The song is conspicuously absent from YouTube and Apple Music.
How did you fare after hearing that? Would you like to stick foreign objects into your ear canal to make the sounds stop? Are you questioning the existence of God? It may not be that God himself is dead. Maybe this song proves something else. Maybe God is real and he wants us to suffer. There’s plenty of other evidence for that today.
Did you see Donald Trump is going to nominate Matt Gaetz for Attorney General? Because that’s real too. God indeed wants us to suffer.
