Planet Pit is the sixth studio album by American rapper Pitbull. It was released on June 17, 2011, through Polo Grounds Music, Mr. 305 Entertainment, Sony Music, and J Records. The production on the album was handled by a variety of pop and hip hop producers including David Guetta, RedOne, Dr. Luke, Jim Jonsin, Benny Blanco, Soulshock, Afrojack, DJ Snake and Polow da Don. The album also features guest appearances by Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Nayer, Marc Anthony, T-Pain, Enrique Iglesias, Sean Paul, Chris Brown, Kelly Rowland, Jamie Drastik, Redfoo, Jamie Foxx, David Guetta, Akon, DJ Frank E, Ludacris, Nelly, Machel Montano and more. The album was created with the goal that every song on the album could serve as one single.[6] The album is influenced by Pitbull's childhood years listening to merengue, freestyle, cha-cha-cha, Miami bass, hip hop and dancehall.[6]

Planet Pit was supported by four singles: "Hey Baby (Drop It to the Floor)", "Rain Over Me", "International Love" and the US number one hit "Give Me Everything". The album received generally positive reviews from music critics and was a commercial success. The album debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 55,000 copies in the United States.[7] This was Pitbull's final album for the J Records label, since the label would be discontinued during the summer of 2011.
