The 31-year-old Colombian is extremely excited about the song's TV debut, "I'm very grateful, this is the first time that I'm going to be at the MTV Movie Awards performing the soundtrack to The Fate of the Furious with Pitbull, Camila Cabello and myself," he said. "I can't believe it, and I'm very grateful. It's another step in my career."

When we asked him if he would watch the award show in the past, he said, "I've always been a big fan, that's why it's so crazy to me right now."
