Romeo Santos and Prince Royce are teaming up for a surprise this holiday season!
The 44-year-old Bachata legend and the 36-year-old superstar released Better Late Than Never on Friday (November 28), their first joint album that came out of nowhere.
The duo surprised fans by keeping the 13-track album a secret, with no singles released beforehand. Romeo wrote and produced all the tracks, with Prince Royce co-penning four of the songs.

The album includes the song “Estocolmo,” (In English: “Stockholm”), which just got an official music video as well.
The duo reference “Stockholm syndrome” in the song, asking a woman if she’s suffering from the condition. (The term describes a psychological response where a victim develops an emotional bond with their abuser or captor.)
“Que él te vea desnuda considero ilegal / Un extraño goza tu intimidad / Te ha robado un millón de besos, deberían meterlo preso / Y el delito de quererme borrar,” Romeo declares. (In English: “I consider it illegal for him to see you naked / A stranger enjoys your privacy / He’s stolen a million kisses from you, they should put him in jail / And the crime of wanting to erase me.”)
“Me trepo en el balcón, baby, vamos, despierta / Si se cree un león, ni le temo en su selva / Entro a la habitación, que no juegue al valiente / Y si caigo en prisión, somos dos delincuentes,” Prince Royce adds. (In English: “I climb onto the balcony, baby, come on, wake up I/ f he thinks he’s a lion, I don’t fear him in his jungle / I enter the room, he shouldn’t play the hero / And if I end up in prison, we’re both criminals.”)
