Sting revisits his Jamaican influences in tandem with the genuine article—dancehall star Shaggy—on a new song, “Don’t Make Me Wait,” which the duet partners teased live on air Wednesday while visiting Jamaica’s biggest station, Irie FM, in Ocho Rios. The snippet can be heard below.

The song will be the first release from the two artists’ joint (don’t even) recording sessions, which took place late last year.

This Saturday, 1/6, Sting and Shaggy will debut “Don’t Make Me Wait” live on the lawns of Kingston’s Jamaica House in front of an anticipated 20k people at the Shaggy & Friends charity concert to benefit the Bustamante Hospital for Children in Kingston. The studio version of “Don’t Make Me Wait” will be released worldwide on Friday, 2/2. Sting and Shaggy are shooting a video for the song in Jamaica on 1/7.

What took them so long?
