Ricky Martin and Pedro Sampaio performed at the 2026 NFL Rio Game halftime show on 27 September, unveiling their new collaborative single "Pikito, Pikito" live for the first time. The performance marked Martin's first single release in several years and took place at Maracanã Stadium in Rio de Janeiro whilst the Baltimore Ravens faced the Dallas Cowboys. This high-profile debut showcased a fusion of Latin and international music styles to a global audience at a prestigious sporting event.

The energetic performance featured the pair alongside Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders and an ensemble of dancers, beginning on bleachers and concluding on the field. Choreographed by Parris Goebel (known for work with Beyoncé, Rihanna and Lady Gaga), the routine incorporated a viral dance from Sampaio's prior single "Vai no Cavalinho." The track "Pikito, Pikito"—derived from the Spanish word for "quick kiss"—blends pop, funk, samba, reggaeton, mambo and salsa elements. The song became available on streaming platforms via Sony Music Latin at 6 p.m. ET immediately following the performance.
