Now, pay attention: one of the most surprising collaborations from Kiss has just been released.

“Reach for the Stars,” the new track from Miami rapper/singer/party-starter Pitbull, is built directly on one of the signature songs from the rock legends: “Rock and Roll All Nite.”

“I’m on a classic with Kiss, that’s right, having a blast / If you don’t like what we’re doing, you can kiss our ass,” Mr. Worldwide raps in the intro, as only he can.

What follows are a couple of verses delivered over the track’s iconic riffs, allowing Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and the rest to deliver the thunderous pre-chorus and singalong refrain.

(Upon close listen, it appears that Pit has utilized the version of the song as heard on Kiss Klassics, the bonus disc of re-recorded hits included with 2009’s Sonic Boom.)

An accompanying lyric video – embedded below – showcases footage of a bachelorette party in full swing, though without any of the make-up, pyrotechnics, or blood-spitting you’d expect at a Kiss concert.

The track opens Pitbull’s recently released 13th studio album, PITCOIN, and it’s not the only classic rock collaboration being offered. “Now or Never,” released in 2024, was built around Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life.” Other collaborators on PITCOIN include Lil Jon, Enrique Iglesias, Akon, and Jason Derulo.

“Reach for the Stars” follows a surge of catalog activity for Kiss in recent months. The long-bootlegged live album Kiss Destroys Anaheim ’76 received an official release in August and will see a 50th anniversary box set edition of Rock and Roll Over released in November.

That same month, the current line-up of the band — Simmons, Stanley, Tommy Thayer, and Eric Singer — will reunite for two unmasked shows as part of Kiss Kruise: Landlocked in Vegas ’26. The weekend festival, held at Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas, will also feature an all-star tribute to original guitarist Ace Frehley, who passed away in 2025.
