It looks like country music star Dolly Parton has gone bad! First, she documented her debut rock album, and now she’s making waves as a successful rap artist.
On Friday, Feb. 16, Dolly released a collaboration with Pitbull called Powerful Woman. Pitbull’s latest album, Trackhouse (Daytona 500 Edition), features a catchy song that incorporates Dolly Parton’s iconic 1980 hit, 9 to 5.
We’ll be the first to admit (although we’re probably not the first) that Powerful Woman is incredibly catchy. Music fans are expressing their support by downloading it in large numbers. In the latest update, the song has climbed to the impressive position of number 4 on the Billboard Rap Digital Song Sales chart, with a total of 1,616 copies sold as of Feb. 28.

Dolly’s incredible 65-year music career has seen her achieve success on numerous charts. However, this particular milestone is especially noteworthy as it marks her first appearance on Billboard’s rap-only charts or any hip-hop-centric chart, for that matter. Wow, Dolly Parton and Pitbull have just made history!
In this song, the focus is on the incredible strength and resilience of women who are single-handedly raising their children and facing life’s challenges head-on. They refuse to give up, no matter what obstacles they encounter.
“Now some of us
Are pit bulls too
We appreciate
The things you do
Thanks again for shining light
On the women that work
From nine to five,” Dolly sings.
Users on X are completely taken aback by the unexpected combination, but the majority believe that the song is enjoyable and revitalizing. So, just like us, they’re playing it on repeat.
One person posted, «Okay, I didn’t expect to open Spotify and see a new single by Pitbull and Dolly Parton…! But it’s actually quite enjoyable.»
Another fan confessed that the Dolly Parton Pitbull song is truly lifesaving.
