Michael Bublé and Jason Derulo joined forces to release their latest single, Spicy Margarita earlier this week.

In an exclusive interview to PEOPLE magazine, Bublé joked, “A hit song with Jason Derulo and Michael Bublé was probably not on most people’s 2024 bingo cards.”

“But I love that both of us are doing something that was this unexpected and still it resonates,” he added.

Despite this being a rather “unexpected” collaboration, Bublé reflected that this project had been a long time coming and continued, “Jason and I have been friends since 2013, so there was always hope that we’d work together.”

“We always dug each other’s music, but there was never a reason — there was never anything that seemed to work like this,” the Feeling Good singer further said.

The Canadian singer-songwriter said that he knew it was “an instant hit” when the two friends worked on the music. “I knew we had it. I called [Ryan] Seacrest and said, ‘I’ve got a hit song with Jason Derulo,'" he said.

Bublé further told the outlet that once Seacrest heard who the singer collaborated with, he went silent. “I said, ‘I know what that silence means… you’re asking why Michael Bublé and Jason Derulo are doing a song together. Listen for 40 seconds, and if you don’t think it’s a global hit, I will walk away’,” the Sway hit-maker recalled saying.

He further revealed that the 49-year-old radio host called Bublé back and said, “He said, ‘This is a global hit… I didn’t know how it was going to work, but oh my God, it worked’.”

The 48-year-old musician also stated that, “It's nice watching what's happening with it. The music that I love — the music that I am passionate about — is the root of jazz and the root of hip hop and R&B and pop and rap. It literally is the root. So it does fit, it’s just a matter of finding that right fit.”
