For the third track of the EP, Dillon Francis worked with DJ Diplo and American singer Maluca to the release of the song, and it's named "Que Que".

When Diplo announced that the Major Lazer trio will collaborate with Francis to a new song, he also announced that he is working for a Major Lazer third studio album Peace is the Mission.
