Mark Zuckerberg has now added music to his expanding list of personal interests, unveiling his first track with hip-hop artist T-Pain. 

Rather than a new composition, the duo reimagined the 2002 hit “Get Low,” delivering an acoustic rendition that marks a tribute to Zuckerberg’s relationship with his wife, Priscilla Chan. 

The Meta CEO shared the surprise on Instagram, accompanied by a nostalgic caption explaining the significance of the song: “Get Low” was playing when he and Priscilla first crossed paths at a college party. 

In a playful nod to their shared history, Zuckerberg decided to collaborate with T-Pain on a version of the song to mark their dating anniversary this year.

In the Instagram post, Zuckerberg included a series of photos, beginning with a throwback image of himself and Chan from their college days, alongside snapshots from the studio where he can be seen playing an acoustic guitar. 

He described the cover as a tribute, jokingly calling it a “lyrical masterpiece.” The track, named “Z-Pain” in honour of their collaboration, is now available on Spotify. 

Zuckerberg’s post quickly garnered mixed reactions, with comments ranging from admiration for his romantic gesture to playful jabs about the unexpected musical partnership.

The cover’s unique sound and casual style led many listeners to draw comparisons to Blink-182’s acoustic style, blending Zuckerberg’s and T-Pain’s vocals in a slower, more deliberate take on the rap song’s original lyrics. 

The slowed-down version brings out the raw humour of lines like “skeet skeet skeet,” which struck many fans as both amusing and unusual coming from the tech mogul.

While Priscilla Chan’s reaction remains key to Zuckerberg’s efforts, online audiences quickly chimed in with a variety of responses.

Some followers celebrated the spontaneity of the collaboration, while others questioned the decision, noting the song’s infamous lyrics and contrasting them with Zuckerberg’s typically serious public image.

The unexpected musical release attracted wider attention on social media, particularly as T-Pain responded to the criticism in a light-hearted Instagram story. 

He pointed out that some people struggle to embrace “wholesome fun” and defended the track as a personal project meant to bring joy, especially to Chan. 

T-Pain urged detractors to “go outside and look at things,” stressing his belief that creative pursuits can be fulfilling regardless of public opinion.

Zuckerberg’s venture into music follows a pattern of unconventional projects among tech figures. Randi Zuckerberg, his sister, has previously recorded cryptocurrency-themed parody songs, while other entrepreneurs have made similarly surprising public performances. 

Despite the playful and somewhat self-deprecating tone of the “Z-Pain” release, Zuckerberg’s debut in music shows his willingness to break out of the traditional tech CEO mould, bringing his personal interests into the spotlight in new ways.
