The singers dance their way through a luxurious mansion while scantily dressed in a 55-second behind-the-scenes look that's sure to raise some eyebrows.
The 36-year-old Colombian is seen caressing the 25-year-old Barbadian with half-closed eyes at one moment, and then lounging by a pool and puffing on cigars with her the next.
