Romanian producer DJ Goja, global pop superstar Jason Derulo, and Brazilian sensation Melody have joined forces for the release of “Mi Chico (Official – Jason Derulo x Melody),” a vibrant Afro house collaboration that blends Latin-inspired rhythms with infectious melodies and feel-good summer energy.
Designed as a crossover anthem, “Mi Chico” combines Afro house grooves with irresistible hooks and dancefloor-ready production, creating a track that effortlessly bridges electronic music, pop, and Latin influences. The collaboration showcases the chemistry between all three artists, with Derulo’s smooth vocals complementing Melody’s vibrant delivery over DJ Goja’s polished production.
Even before its official release, “Mi Chico” had already emerged as a social media phenomenon. The song generated more than 275,000 TikTok creations, accumulating over 200 million views, while its official Instagram audio inspired more than 130,000 user-generated videos, highlighting its growing global appeal ahead of launch.
Speaking about the record, DJ Goja explained that his recent fascination with Afro house played a key role in shaping the song. His goal was to create a record that could connect emotionally while remaining irresistibly danceable, with Jason Derulo and Melody bringing the perfect balance of energy and personality to complete the track.
Derulo echoed that sentiment, describing “Mi Chico” as a song that immediately stood out because of its blend of rhythm, emotion, and escapism. He also praised the overwhelming fan response before release, noting that watching listeners embrace the song through viral dance trends reflected every artist’s dream of creating music that takes on a life of its own.
The release arrives as Jason Derulo continues his The Last Dance World Tour, further cementing his reputation as one of the world’s most successful crossover artists. With more than 250 million singles sold, billions of streams, and global hits including “Talk Dirty,” “Wiggle,” “Swalla,” and “Savage Love,” Derulo continues to connect audiences across genres and cultures.
Brazilian star Melody, widely known as the “Princess of Brazilian Pop,” brings her signature charisma to the collaboration. With millions of followers across social media and hundreds of millions of streams to her name, she remains one of Latin America’s most influential young artists, making “Mi Chico” another significant milestone in her rapidly expanding international career.
For DJ Goja, the single represents another major step in his evolution from behind-the-scenes producer to internationally recognized recording artist. After contributing to numerous global dance releases and building a catalogue with more than 100 million Spotify streams and over one billion social media views, he continues to establish himself as a leading force in contemporary dance music.
Accompanying the release is an official music video directed by acclaimed French filmmaker and movement director Kevin Bago, featuring DJ Goja, Jason Derulo, Melody, and an ensemble of 30 dancers, including world-renowned dance duo Les Twins, bringing the song’s vibrant energy to life through dynamic choreography and cinematic visuals.
With its infectious Afro house groove, Latin flair, and global star power, “Mi Chico” arrives as one of the season’s biggest international collaborations, delivering the perfect soundtrack for summer.
