Mark Zuckerberg friended wife Priscilla Chan 21 years ago. And in honor of the couple's first meeting, the Meta founder decided to go all out, recruiting T-Pain to join him in recreating Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz 's 2003 hit "Get Low." After all, the song has a special meaning for the Facebook cofounder and his wife.
As Mark explained, the song "was playing when I first met Priscilla at a college party." "So every year we listen to it on our dating anniversary," he wrote on Instagram Nov. 13 , alongside a throwback photo of the couple.
"This year I worked with @tpain on our own version of this lyrical masterpiece." He noted the song is available to listen to on Spotify , and added, "Love you P." The 40-year-old, who wed Priscilla in 2012, also included several photos of the recording process with T-Pain, and gave fans a taste of their musical stylings, which they attributed to the band name Z-Pain .
As for the cover itself, while the original version of "Get Low" is known today as a rap and hip-hop classic with its incredibly NSFW lyrics, Mark and T-Pain went for a softer, guitar-forward version with Mark taking lead vocals and T-Pain on backup. And it was a smash success. Priscilla—who shares daughters Maxima , 8, August , 7, and Aurelia , 20 months—loved the anniversary gift, as seen in Mark's Instagram Stories .

21 years later I can't get quite as low, but it brings back a lot of fond memories." She also shared the song and Mark's post to her own Instagram Story, writing, "2003: Two kids fall in love." While the tech mogul and pediatrician have kept their 12-year marriage low-key, they haven't been afraid to gush over how much their time together has meant to them, most recently when Priscilla shared a birthday tribute to Mark .
"As I reflect on the 21 of Mark's birthdays we have spent together," she wrote on Instagram in May , "one of my favorite things about Mark is how he really, truly believes in people." She added, "He sees the potential in all of us. I have no idea what adventures are coming next, but I'm here for all of them.
Here's to many more.".
