Enrique Iglesias and Kylie Minogue are locked in a battle to release their duet.
The Latin heartthrob and 'Into The Blue' singer have collaborated on the track 'Beautiful' but their labels Universal Republic and Parlophone are at war over when it will be released.
Enrique told the Daily Star Sunday newspaper: "I'm hoping the duet will be released as the next single but I know there's been a few problems between the record companies because she is on a different label.
"It's all politics. There was a moment when the record companies were fighting back and forth, but in the end Kylie and I spoke and we will make it happen."
The pair, who are both set to release new music this year, will shoot a video for the song in March.
Enrique, 38, said: "I'm a huge fan of Kylie. She's so sweet and she's been going for a long time but is as sexy as ever"
The star's new single 'I'm A Freak', featuring Pitbull, is out on March 16, while Kylie, 45, releases her single 'Into The Bull' on March 9.
Enrique also rubbished reports he got a car drive 20 metres after throwing a strip and insists he's not a diva.
He added: "That was such bull****. My manager told me to get a car because it was cold and there were photographers outside."

Beyoncé is set to perform at this year's BRIT Awards.
The 'Drunk in Love' hitmaker will grace the stage at the ceremony for the first time in ten years, joining Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams, Arctic Monkeys and Ellie Goulding.
The 32-year-old singer was due to perform at the annual ceremony in 2013 but had to cancel because her new material wasn't ready but is reportedly on board for the event this month.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Beyonce is on. The only reason this has not yet been announced officially is because the Brits guys are nervous that it could all go wrong again.
"But what I can tell you is that in her camp it's 99.9 per cent on."
The star will also join Lorde, Disclosure, Rudimental, Bastille and Bruno Mars on February 19 at London's O2 Arena and organisers are hoping the show will be viewed by over 10 million people.
It has already been a successful year for the 'Single Ladies' hitmaker, who shocked fans by releasing her self-titled fifth studio album without any prior promotion.
The record, which was released exclusively on iTunes, conquered the charts and sold 828,773 copies in just three days.
Beyoncé stole the show at the Grammy Awards last month performing a sexy routine with rapper husband Jay Z.
The last time the singer took to the stage at the BRIT Awards in 2004 she sang her hit song 'Crazy in Love' and also picked up the accolade for Best International Female.

Heidi Range always felt responsible for her other bandmates.
The former Sugababes singer has taken a leap into theatre after the troubled girl group - who haven't released any new material since 2011 - decided to embark on a break, and she admits it's less pressure performing on stage than producing music with members Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen.
Asked how acting and singing are different, she said: "I think it is different. I think there's more of a big family [in theatre] I guess because there's more of you. I think it just feels like a big family, it sounds really cheesy but it does. I mean you've obviously got a lot of pressure on you as an individual to make sure you're character is right, but in regards to the actual show there's not as much pressure.
"Whereas with the band it was up to the three of us to make it work. Also you don't feel responsible for everyone else I guess in the sense that you did with the band, because it's just you three and if someone is not in the right mind frame you're really panicking about that."
The 30-year-old star is currently starring opposite former 'Emmerdale' actor Ben Freeman in a touring production of 'Happy Days: A New Musical' - based on the popular US sitcom - where she plays Pinky Tuscadero.
Speaking about the play, she said: "I'm just enjoying it. I trained when I was younger in singing, acting and dancing. I mean it's been a long time since I did all three but it really comes back to you but I'm just really loving it and enjoying it."

Kacey Musgraves cried the first time she heard herself on the radio.
The singer - who won her a Grammy award recently for her debut album 'Same Trailer, Different Park' - didn't know how she'd react when she first heard her debut track 'Merry Go 'Round' being played when she was driving around Nashville with her sister.
She said: "I heard the first few licks of the song and I didn't know how it would affect me.
"I'm not always super emotional. When I heard the first part of the song, I just started bawling my eyes out. It was a very crazy, surreal, rewarding and full-circle moment.
"It was cool that my little sister was there. She had her camera so she captured the moment on film. I was just freaking out and cussing and trying not to wreck my car."
Kacey added she always knew that particular track - about the perils of small town life - was always going to be her fist single because of the reception it got when she played it live.
She added to Radio.com: "It didn't matter if I was in Texas or if I was in Scotland or New York, people were coming up to me and just saying, 'That is my life.' I've realised it's not a small-town thing -- it's a life thing. We follow in our parents' footsteps because that's what we feel like we should do until we can figure out our own thing."

Harry Styles admits One Direction aren't in the same "league" as The Beatles.
While the curly-haired hearrthrob thinks the band are experiencing the same levels of fan hysteria as the Liverpudlian group did in the 60s, he understands their pop songs will never compare to The Beatles' classic hits.
The 19-year-old star told Top of the Pops magazine: "We all sat and watched the film of [The Beatles] arriving in America. And, to be honest, that really was like us. Stepping off the plane, the girls, the madness. It was exactly the same as when we got there - just 50 years earlier.
"But none of us think we're in the same league as them music-wise. We'd be total fools if we did. Fame-wise, it's probably even bigger, but we don't stand anywhere near them in terms of music."
Harry says his most lavish purchase since making it big has been his house, which he is excited about finally moving into when the renovations are completed.
He added: "I bought it at the beginning of last year, then decided to move the kitchen. That turned into a bigger thing, and last time I went it was all just floorboards. The builders told me it won't be finished until early this year, so even when I finally get home I'll still be staying at a mate's house."

Beck spent a year thinking people hated him.
The 'Loser' singer hired The Flaming Lips to support him on tour in 2002 but frontman Wayne Coye criticised him after the gigs, describing him as a "d**k", which led Beck to believe he wasn't liked in the industry.
He said: "I really don't know [why he said that]. I was very surprised, because I have a videotape of the last night where they were saying, 'I love you, this tour has changed our lives, you're a brother', so it really messed my head up. I went around for a year thinking people hated me."
The 43-year-old singer and producer believes Wayne thought he wasn't rock 'n' roll enough, but claims he was ill during the tour and struggled to perform for his fans.
He added in an interview with MOJO Magazine: "Wayne probably sensed I'm the kind of guy who cares what people think, that I don't come off as some asshole rock-star type.
"What he didn't know was that I was really sick during the tour, I had some condition and I barely had the strength to pick up a guitar.
"So after the shows, I had to go to my bunk and sleep. One show, I got food poisoning so I delayed it half an hour, which he probably thought was theatrical. But we had a good time! I was hoping afterwards that we'd do a record together."

Red Hot Chili Peppers' Chad Smith has challenged actor Will Ferrell to a "drum-off".
Fans often comment on how the pair bear more than a passing resemblance to each other and now drummer Chad has called Will out to see how good his musical skills are.
Earlier this week, Will made light of the similarity between him and Chad on a Reddit AMA session.
He wrote: "It has been acknowledged many times that myself and Chad Smith, drummer for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, share a resemblance to each other.
"A lot of people think that it's me playing for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But that would be an insult to Chad Smith. The truth of the matter is there is no Will Ferrell. Only Chad Smith."
Will added: "It was great to finally clear up the fact that I am Chad Smith."
The musician then followed it up by filming a video in which he challenges the actor to a drum-off.
He joked: "Stop impersonating me! In fact ... I need you ... Drum battle, me and you. I've seen you. I've seen your skills. You don't got 'em. Let's go."
Meanwhile, Chad is auctioning off the drum kit he played at the Super Bowl last week to raise funds for the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
It comes after it was revealed the band didn't plug their instruments at the NFL game.

The Struts raised the roof during a sold-out show at The Barfly in north London last night (06.02.14).
The band - made up of Luke Spiller, Addo Slack, Jed Elliott and Gethin Davies - are newly signed to Virgin EMI and have become one of the most talked about rising acts of 2014.
Dripping in glamour, frontman Luke commanded the stage like a true professional and the band tore through their best tracks, including 'It Could Have Been Me' and 'Put Your Money On Me'.
The band performed a rocking rendition of David Bowie's 'Rebel Rebel' and got the crowd pumped up by telling them to crouch on the floor before jumping up and down to the music.
Luke's make-up ran down his face as he flicked his wet black hair and launched into a surprise cover of Lorde's hit 'Royals'.
It went down a storm and proved the band are certainly ones to watch in coming months as they add the finishing touches to their album.
Luke has also been in the studio with celebrated musician Mike Oldfield and his vocals feature on the singer's new album 'Man On The Rocks', which was recorded at his home in the Bahamas.
Mike gushed about the young singer in a recent note posted on the band's Facebook, saying: "I have to say that Luke Spiller is the BEST vocalist I have ever worked with. He is gifted and gives everything to his performance."

Pharrell Williams wants to reunite the Gallagher brothers for a collaboration.
The 'Happy' chart-topper says his dream duet would be with warring Oasis bandmates Liam and Noel Gallagher, who haven't spoken since a backstage punch-up at a French festival in 2009.
The fight put an end to the Brit pop band, with Noel founding rock group Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and Liam fronting Beady Eye, but Pharrell is still hoping for a reconciliation.
Pharrell told BBC Newsbeat: "Who wouldn't want to work with the Gallaghers? Yeah, both of them."
The hip-hop star also revealed he would love to work with musical greats Sir Elton John and Stevie Wonder, who have been long-time inspirations for him.
Pharrell named his five-year-old son Rocket, with wife Helen Lasichanh , after Elton's 1972 track 'Rocket Man' and recently performed with Stevie, Daft Punk and Nile Rodgers at the Grammys.
The 40-year-old singer said: "I really respect Elton John's music and I'd love to do something with him. I would love to do a whole album with Stevie Wonder. That would be amazing. He doesn't need me, but it'd be amazing."
