The girl group member featured on Martinโs upcoming English re-release of his hit Spanish single โVente Pa โCaโ which originally featured Columbian artist Maluma. The English version was jointly produced by Sony Entertainment and SM Entertainment, and drops on Dec. 27.
The Spanish dance track, when originally released in September, was able to take the top spot on 18 iTunes charts all across the world, and was number one on radio airplay charts in countries such as Mexico, Argentina, and Uruguay. The single was streamed 5.6 million times in the first week of its release.

She sang a duet with singer Eric Nam in โSpring Loveโ in March, and just recently released a cover of the holiday classic โHave Yourself a Merry Little Christmasโ with classical musicians Nile Lee and Jung Jae Moon on Friday.
