R&B favorite Mario and Afro-house DJ/producer Levi breathe new life into JoJo’s 2000s classic with a soulful, dance-ready rework.
GRAMMY-nominated superstar artist Mario has teamed up with breakout DJ and producer Levi for one of this year’s most talked-about collaborations. Their new single, “2 Little 2 Late,” reimagines JoJo’s 2006 hit “Too Little Too Late” with a fresh, club-driven energy that merges the warmth of R&B with the vibrancy of Afro-house. Since its release, the track has taken off – already nearing 4 million Spotify streams and gaining momentum across social media and global playlists.
The partnership is a meeting of two worlds: Mario’s instantly recognizable, emotive vocals paired with Levi’s uplifting, groove-heavy production. Known for his chart-topping single “JUMP” (with over 150 million streams), Levi adds his signature touch of driving percussion, bright piano stabs, and melodic tension that transforms the nostalgic original into a festival-ready anthem. The end result is a track that resonates emotionally while keeping the dance floor moving.
For Mario, “2 Little 2 Late” signals a new chapter in an already storied career. With timeless R&B hits like “Let Me Love You,” “How Do I Breathe,” and “Crying Out for Me,” he continues to evolve his sound while reaching new audiences in electronic music. Together, he and Levi strike a balance between soul and rhythm – creating something that feels both classic and cutting-edge.
Following the recent wave of genre-blending hits like ACRAZE & Cherish’s “Do It To It,” Dom Dolla & Nelly Furtado’s “Eat Your Man,” and Sebastian Ingrosso & Celine Dion’s “A New Day,” just to name a few, Mario & Levi’s “2 Little 2 Late” fits perfectly into the movement redefining the relationship between dance and pop.
With its heartfelt emotion, rhythmic energy, and viral appeal, “2 Little 2 Late” stands as a moment of connection between eras – proof that when great voices and visionary production collide, the results transcend genre and time.
