To mark the anniversary of meeting his wife, Priscilla Chan , Meta Chairman Mark Zuckerberg chose a memorable and quirky gift by recording a rendition of the early 2000s hit 'Get Low' by Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz. On Wednesday, Zuckerberg posted to Instagram, reminiscing about the night he met Chan at a college party, where this “lyrical masterpiece” was playing in the background. The couple, who met at Harvard, has made it a tradition to listen to the song every year on the anniversary of that night.
Zuckerberg collaborated with T-Pain, a legendary figure in 2000s hip-hop and R&B, to produce a special version of the song. Though T-Pain wasn’t part of the original 'Get Low,' he joined Zuckerberg to create a slowed-down remix that they humorously released under the name “Z-Pain.”
The track features Zuckerberg’s auto-tuned vocals and original lyrics about navigating nightclubs and encounters with bouncers, a playful nod to the original track’s themes.
Zuckerberg’s Instagram post announcing the release included behind-the-scenes clips and photos from the studio session with T-Pain, as well as nostalgic images of Zuckerberg and Chan from their Harvard days. Chan responded to the post, calling it “so romantic.” She joked about how, two decades later, she might not be able to “get as low” as she once could, but shared that it brought back fond memories.
Some fans noticed initial playback issues on Instagram. However, Meta spokesperson Sienna La Rocca clarified to The Verge that there were no copyright conflicts surrounding the release, confirming the remix as a lighthearted tribute to Zuckerberg and Chan’s journey together.
