J Balvin has been a successful pop star in Colombia for many years, before becoming popular in the UK with the release of his 2017 song 'Mi Gente'. Last year, J Balvin teamed up with One Direction member Liam Payne on his summer hit 'Familiar', so could he be due to make another appearance in the UK charts?

Despite having huge success with a number of collaborations, Dua revealed last month that she recorded a song with Ariana Grande, but she wasn't sure if it will be released due to various reasons. Speaking on US TV show Watch What Happens Live, Dua said that the timing wasn’t "quite right" for either of them, continuing, "I love Ari. I love everything she does."

However, all hope is not lost as Dua then revealed that they "might" do something again in the future.
