The tech mogul dedicated the cover to his wife because nothing says “I love you” quite like “three-six-nine, damn, you're fine, hoping you can sock it to me, baby, one more time”
Mark Zuckerberg generally seems to be one of the more normal modern-day tech giants or at least one that comes off as less of a cartoonish villain (that's how truly low the bar is). He isn't trying to co-run any governmental departments and didn't inadvertently cause a quarter of a million people to cancel their newspaper subscriptions. Instead, at least for the moment, the META founder has his focus set on performing grand romantic gestures for his wife — like the acoustic cover of Lil Jon's “Get Low” that he recorded with T-Pain.
Zuckerberg cut the cover in honor of his wife, Priscilla Chan. “'Get Low' was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party, so every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary,” he wrote on Instagram. “This year, I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece.” Nothing says “I love you” quite like “Three-six-nine, damn, you're fine/Hoping you can sock it to me, baby, one more time.”
Zuckerberg's singing voice on the Z-Pain version of “Get Low” sounds eerily similar to Owl City, almost like he wouldn't believe his eyes if 10 million fireflies lit up the world as he fell asleep. T-Pain's performance on the other hand, smooth and understated, isn't as surprising. Last year, he released a covers album that took on classics from Frank Sinatra, Sam Smith, Sam Cooke, and more.
Chan celebrated the cover in the comments beneath Zuckerberg's post, writing: “Can't get quite as low anymore but more in love and grateful for that love than ever. Love you MZ.” In the album artwork, T-Pain is pictured posing beside Zuckerberg while holding up an acoustic guitar. If not for the backstory, his own “Get Low” equivalent — the Flo Rida-led hit “Low” about Apple Bottom jeans and boots with the fur — would have been a fitting romantic serenade, too. “Happy anniversary,” the musician commented. “Thanks for letting me be a part of this.”
