After joining forces with Keith Urban for the new Zorro series soundtrack, Carin León continues tapping into the country music realm by teaming up with Kane Brown for his next collaboration, Billboard can reveal.

Marking León and Brown’s first collaborative effort, the pair will premiere their new single “The One (Pero No Como Yo)” on Thursday, Feb. 22, at 2024 Premio Lo Nuestro. The title indicates the song will be a heartfelt Spanglish bop. This also marks Brown’s second Latin effort after dropping “Lost in the Middle of Nowhere” with Becky G in 2019.

“After I recorded the song with Carin, he invited me to join him at the awards show to do the performance,” Brown tells Billboard exclusively. “I have never attended Premio Lo Nuestro, so I’m a little nervous and very excited … I see so many similarities between our fans and I’m incredibly grateful to be able to share my style of music with his fans and share Carin’s style of music with my fans.”

Nominations for the 2024 awards ceremony were revealed in January, with 14-time nominee Maluma leading the pack. He’s followed by Peso Pluma (13), Grupo Frontera (10) and, with nine each, Karol G and Feid. Each of the leading artists are up for the coveted Premio Lo Nuestro artist of the year prize alongside the other top nominees, including León, Bad Bunny, Camilo, Ozuna and Shakira.

Meanwhile, Ana Barbara, Don Omar and Olga Tañon will receive this year’s Premio Lo Nuestro a la Trayectoria, Global Icon and Premio Lo Nuestro a la Excelencia special awards, respectively.
