Climate Change is the tenth studio album by Cuban-American recording artist Pitbull. It was released on March 17, 2017, through RCA Records, Polo Grounds Music and Mr. 305 Inc.[12] The production on the album was handled by multiple producers including Dr. Luke, Ricky Reed, Ian Kirkpatrick, Cirkut and The Monsters & Strangerz among others.

Album (release dates) always change. Right now we’re working on two records in the thirteenth hour with very, very interesting features that will also be part of Climate Change".[21]

A world tour for the album was scheduled to kick off in Asia for a 10 concert run, but was cancelled at the last minute.
