Music video
According to Variety, the music video for the song includes a "digital mashup" with internet stars Jenna Marbles (who has a large following on her YouTube comedy channel and hosts the YouTube 15 weekly program on Sirius XM, who had previously made a parody impression video of Pitbull), Bart Baker (creator behind popular music parodies, including one of Pitbull), and Brittany Furlan (the most followed female video star on Vine before Vine shut down). All three appear in the "Fireball" official video. Pitbull's collaboration with Marbles, Baker, and Furlan was brokered by Endemol Beyond USA.[4]
Story
The video begins with Pitbull leaving a car and entering a club. The video shows people dancing in black and white, and people firebreathing, along with Marbles and Baker dancing by Pitbull. Pitbull sees a woman (Alejandra Espinoza) coming down stairs and, when she enters the main room, the video turns to color. The woman looks very much like Jessica Rabbit. Many men (usually with women) stare at her. She walks over to Pitbull; they go to a dressing room and come closer to one another. The video then ends with Pitbull and the girl leaving the club in his car.
Chart performance
The song peaked at number 23 at the US Billboard Hot 100.[5] As of January 2015, the single has sold one million copies in the US.[6] On October 16, 2020, the single was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and streaming equivalent units of over three million units in the United States.[7] It was also certified Gold in Canada and Australia.
