I suppose the advantage of being Ingrid Rivera Rocafort, the executive director of the Puerto Rico Tourism Company, is that your job is made easier by songwriters rhyming things with Puerto Rico, because Puerto Rico rhymes with a lot of things and therefore tends to get a lot of shoutouts in songs.

Keeping that in mind — and remembering all the different things that could be rhymed with Puerto Rico — it’s particularly noteworthy that Charli XCX has written a new song in which she rhymes “Puerto Rico” with “different ringtones,” which, is far and above anything the Puerto Rico Tourism Company could have hoped for in their wildest dreams, except for maybe Pitbull doing a good song again and giving them a shout-out somewhere in it.

The song is good. It has a touch of the 8-bit Super Mario to it, really.

Also as expected there are cute boys in the video clip.
