Nayer was discovered by Cuban-American rapper Pitbull whom she had the opportunity to do a collaboration with a few years back while signed to Sony. She immediately started working with producers on her music and songwriting. While in the process she appeared on various videos of the rapper from his albums Rebelution, Armando (2010) and Planet Pit (2011), such as "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" and "Shut It Down" (feat. Akon). She then did a joint venture with RedOne. Nayer was also featured on Enrique Iglesias' single "Dirty Dancer (Remix)" along Usher and Lil Wayne, and she held a cameo appearance in Enrique Iglesias' "I Like How It Feels" music video.
