Dressed in the classic suit and sunglasses, Will appeared from a platform below the stage as the crowd went wild. He performed the title track of the sci-fi film in front of a gigantic alien head alongside backup dancers dressed as Men in Black agents or aliens.
The Mi Gente singer, dressed in a silver hoodie, did not contribute vocally and danced beside Will during the first verse and chorus. However, they did the original choreography side-by-side during the "just bounce with me" section.

The surprise set concluded with J Balvin being dragged off the stage by Men in Black agents. Will then pulled out the neuralyzer, the memory-erasing device from the film, held it towards the audience and pressed it as the stage lights went a bright white.
Smith then was seen holding up the device used in the movie to erase the memories of people who witness alien activities, in addition to wiping out the memories of agents ready to retire.
The movie, which made $250.7 million at the domestic box office (not adjusted for inflation), spawned three sequels: 2002’s Men in Black II, 2012’s Men in Black 3 and 2019’s Men in Black: International, the latter of which was considered a stand-alone movie set in the same universe but did not feature Smith or Jones.
