In the video, the Barcelona icon can be seen surrounded by skimpily dressed women as he donned his signature Kangol hat.
This would not be the first time the legendary forward will be venturing into music having tried his hand in the industry nearly four years ago.
At the time, Ronaldinho created an anthem for the athletes during the Paralympics hosted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The ex-footie joined forces with other musicians including Khama and Pablo Luiz to produce the tune championing the attributes of the athletes who competed in the edition.
The song, titled 'I come from the world, a winner' was produced in Portuguese, with Ronaldinho revealing at the time he was inspired by the determination and courage of the athletes to sing the song.
A year later, he launched his first sing titled Sozinho which translates to 'alone' before he hit the studios once again in 2017 to sing about politics just months after he ran into trouble with the government.
