"Despacito" (Latin American Spanish: [despaˈsito]; transl. "Slowly") is a Spanish-language song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi, featuring Puerto Rican rapper Daddy Yankee. On January 13, 2017, it was released as lead single for Vida, Fonsi's tenth studio album.[1] Written by Fonsi and Panamanian-American and Brazilian singer-songwriter Erika Ender in collaboration with Yankee between 2015 and 2016, it was produced by Colombian record producers Mauricio Rengifo and Andrés Torres in 2016. An English-language remix featuring Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber was released on April 17, 2017, with added lyrics by Bieber, and American singer-songwriters Poo Bear and Marty James.[2]

Topping the charts in 47 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Italy and Spain, and reaching the top 10 of six others, "Despacito" has been listed among the best Latin songs ever by various publications, with some referring to it as one of the most successful Spanish-language tracks in pop music history.[3] It has been credited by music journalists as being the most instrumental song in spreading the popularity of Spanish-language music in the mainstream global market since "La Bamba" by Los Lobos in 1987 and "Macarena" by Los Del Rio featuring the Backside Boys in 1995.[4][5]

In the United States, it became the first Spanish-language song to top the Billboard Hot 100 since "Macarena" in 1996, subsequently tying as the longest-reigning number one on the Billboard Hot 100 at the time with 16 weeks, as well as becoming the longest-running number one on the Hot Latin Songs chart with 56 weeks.[6] It became the second Spanish-language song to be nominated for the Grammy Awards, earning nominations for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance, and surpassing the first Spanish-language song nominated for the awards, "La Bamba," which received a nomination in the first two categories in 1988.[6][7] It was the first Latin song to receive a digital Diamond certification by the Recording Industry Association of America, selling over 13 million units, while also earning more than 141 digital Latin Platinum certifications with over 8 millions units sold, becoming the best-selling and highest certified Latin single in U.S. history.[8] In 2025, Billboard magazine named it the most successful Latin song of the 21st century.[9]

The music video shows both Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee performing the song in the La Perla neighborhood of Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, and local bar La Factoría. It held the record for most-viewed YouTube video between August 2017 and November 2020, when it was overtaken by Pinkfong's Baby Shark. It became the first video on the site to reach the milestones of three, four, five, six, seven, and eight billion views.[10] It also held the record for most-liked YouTube video between July 2017 and January 2025, when it was overtaken by MrBeast's Would You Fly to Paris for a Baguette? It became the first video on the site to reach 15, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 55 million likes.

Background

Original version

The lyrics of "Despacito" were written in late 2015 in Luis Fonsi's house in Miami because he wanted to record a "swinging song" for his new album after two years without releasing new music.[11][12] He said that he woke up mulling about "a song called 'Despacito'", and invited Brazilian-Panamanian singer and songwriter Erika Ender to a songwriting session.[13] Fonsi co-wrote the song on a Gibson Emmylou Harris guitar.[14] He originally composed it as a cumbia and pop song with lyrics written as a ballad, but decided to give it an "urban injection" and sent a demo to reggaeton artist Daddy Yankee.[12] They recorded the song at Noisematch Studios in Miami in late 2016.[15][16] Daddy Yankee improvised his verse in a corner of the studio's control room, later saying that he was thinking about his father playing bongos, and also wrote the post-chorus.[16][17] It was produced by Mauricio Rengifo and Andrés Torres; the former is known as a member of Colombian pop duo Cali y El Dandee and the latter is known for previously working with David Bisbal, Thalía, and Ricky Martin.[18][19] It was mixed by American engineer Jaycen Joshua at Larrabee Sound Studios in North Hollywood, Los Angeles.[20]

Luis Fonsi says that he does not consider it a reggaeton song, but that "it does have a reggaeton energy and an subtle urban beat".[12] Ender stated that the track "went through several arrangements" until Fonsi got "exactly the arrangement he wanted".[13] Fonsi described "Despacito" as a very melodic song that can adapt well to many other music genres.[21] Due to the sensual nature of the song, they "needed to be responsible with a good lyric" and Ender's approach to writing for Fonsi was "to take care of how to say things with a good taste [sic]".[11] American singer and songwriter Nicky Jam has recorded the original version of "Despacito" rather Daddy Yankee, but had to withdraw from the song due to its release conflicting with an album of his own.[22]

"Despacito" (remix) on YouTube

Three months after the release of "Despacito", Canadian singer Justin Bieber wanted to record a remix version after hearing the song in a Colombian nightclub during a tour in South America.[23] The following day, Fonsi received a phone call from Universal Latin about the intentions for remix and authorized the label to send the track to Bieber.[24] Bieber's manager, Scooter Braun, contacted his vocal producer Josh Gudwin to work on the song, who flew to Bogotá and recorded Justin Bieber's vocals at Estudios Audiovisión.[25]

Bieber sang in Spanish for the first time in his career with the help of Colombian musician Juan Felipe Samper,[26][27] who noted that what was most difficult for Justin Bieber was the 'ere' (ɾ) sound in words like "laberinto" (labyrinth), "paredes" (walls) and "manuscrito" (manuscript).[27] Samper wrote the Spanish-language lyrics phonetically to ease Bieber's pronunciation, which was "perfectly" achieved in two hours.[27] After a four-hour recording session, Gudwin sent Bieber's vocal tracks to Australian sound engineer Chris O'Ryan for vocal tuning.[25] Gudwin concluded the remix's production in Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos Islands with the mixing of Luis Fonsi's English-language vocals, whose lyrics were written by American songwriter Marty James.[25] The entire process until the release date took six days.[25] In June 2017, English musician Ed Sheeran revealed that he wanted to record a remix version of the song, but lost out to Justin Bieber.[28]

Composition

"Despacito" is a reggaeton and Latin pop song composed in common time (4
4 time), with a length of three minutes and forty-seven seconds, and written in the key of B minor[29] with a tempo of 89 beats per minute and a common chord progression of Bm—G—D—A.[30][31][32] The vocals span from F♯3 to B4.[33] Its implicit lyrics are about having a sexual relationship in a smooth and romantic way, making heavy use of allegories.[34] However, Luis Fonsi expressed that some lines are free for interpretation.[35]

Mauricio Rengifo and Andrés Torres produced "Despacito" using Pro Tools and the final mix consisted of 47 tracks.[36] The song begins with a Puerto Rican cuatro played by Christian Nieves, which is accompanied by an acoustic guitar played by Torres when Luis Fonsi starts performing.[36] Rengifo stated that the guitar "was actually played, but then [they] chopped it and made it really digital."[36] The producers decided to record a cuatro because they wanted "to feel very Puerto Rican and ethnic" and that it "gives the song a really unique character".[36] Nieves played salsa-influenced melodies during the chorus and the hook, which contains "old school pop" effects based on American producer Dr. Luke.[36] Percussion instruments guache and güira were synchronized with a hi hat in order to highlight the track's cumbia influences.[36]

The song uses the side-chaining production technique in order to make the chorus "more prominent", silencing the music as the kick drum hits.[37] It also makes heavy use of text painting when the music is slowed down as the word "despacito" (slowly) is performed at the beginning of every chorus.[37] Its percussion consists of guache, cowbell, timbales, güira, and sequenced drum patterns.[36] The remix featuring Justin Bieber maintained the original rhythms, and Luis Fonsi translated some lines to English, singing a verse in Spanglish, while Daddy Yankee's verses were kept from the original version.[26]

Release and reception

"Despacito" was made available for digital download on January 13, 2017, by Universal Music Latin. Some music publications believed the single's success was influenced by a trend of combining Latin pop and urban music.[38] Fonsi referred to it as "the new pop" and Ender said that "everyone is making this type of fusions [sic]".[11] Luis Fonsi also stated that two weeks after the release of the song and its music video, he started receiving calls from "people who normally don't call, people who only call when something different is going on." He says that he got calls from Ricky Martin, Juan Luis Guerra, Marc Anthony and other artists telling him that the track was a "home run".[39]

Sebastian Wernke-Schmiesing of Dance-Charts journal stated that "a simple 4/4 time, Spanish guitar sounds, a crisp bass, and the excellent vocals by Luis Fonsi and [Daddy Yankee] were enough to get a hit single from the start."[40] Leila Cobo of Billboard praised its "undeniable immediate catchiness", and wrote that the song "is a clever blend of romantic Latin pop with a reggaeton beat and subtly naughty lyrics".[41][42] Robert Joffred of Medium's culture blog That Good You Need highlighted the use of a steel-string guitar to play flamenco-style melodies instead of a nylon-string guitar, as well as the presence of "swung rhythms" when the word "Despacito" is sung at the beginning of the chorus.[37] He referred to the text painting as "pretty genius".[37] Raisa Bruner of Time magazine described the single as "an infectious Latin melody amped up with reggaeton grooves and an irresistible dance tune".[43]

Spanish record producer Nahúm García stated that "the way the rhythm breaks before the chorus is genius", and that this "trick" in particular is not common in pop music.[44] Joshua Barrie of Irish Mirror gave a negative opinion about the lyrics, referring to them as "quite rude and a bit creepy", and stating that "some people might find them offensive".[45] On the other hand, an editor of Spanish music website Jenesaispop stated that "the melody is very good, the lyrics are sexy without being vulgar and above all its structure is interesting."[46] Felix Contreras of National Public Radio praised the writing, arrangement and performances.[47]

The remix version featuring Justin Bieber was released on April 17, 2017, by Universal Music Latin, Republic Records, Def Jam Recordings, RBMG and Schoolboy Records.[48] Its official audio video garnered 20 million views on YouTube in its first 24 hours, the third most for a music-related video in between January and September 2017.[49] Caroline Soriano of Ernstars magazine stated that Bieber's voice "sounds appealing with the song", whose remix version make it sound "a little bit better".[50] Mike Senior of Sound on Sound gave a negative review of the remix's mixing by criticizing its polarity inversion regarding the original version, and Justin Bieber's louder vocal track than Daddy Yankee's.[51] As to the original version, Senior referred to the first appearance of the "Despacito" hook line as a "masterstroke".[51]

In July 2017, officials from the Government of Malaysia reported that "Despacito" was being banned from airing on government-owned broadcast stations as a result of public complaints.[52] Government ministers said that the song was considered un-Islamic and that its lyrics were "not suitable to be heard".[52]

Accolades

"Despacito" has received various awards and nominations following its commercial success. In 2017, the original version won three awards at the 18th Latin Grammy Awards including Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Short Form Music Video, while the remix version won Best Urban Fusion/Performance.[53] It also won Collaboration of the Year and was nominated for Video of the Year at the 45th American Music Awards.[54] In 2018, the remix version received three nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 60th Grammy Awards.[55] The remix also received six Billboard Latin Music Awards and five Billboard Music Awards.[56][57] Erika Ender became the youngest person to be inducted into the Latin Songwriters Hall of Fame and the first female Latin artist to garner a Grammy Award for Song of the Year nomination.[58][24]

Billboard's critics ranked the original version the fourth best song of 2017 and the fifth best Latin song of all time, referring to it as "one of the biggest hits in Latin music history" and "one of the biggest singles of all time."[59][60] Rolling Stone and Time selected it as the seventh and third best song of 2017, respectively; the latter stating that "in a year where xenophobia reared its head worldwide, it inspires hope that the charts were dominated by such a universal, multicultural hit."[61][43] Spin magazine ranked the remix version the 38th best song of the year, stating that "it managed to transcend genre, time, space, and even personal taste in a way that was unprecedented."[62] It was also included among the 100 best singles of 2017 by PopSugar,[63] The New York Times,[64] National Public Radio,[47] The Village Voice,[65] and The Guardian.[66] Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee were selected as the "Stars of the Year" by People en Español.[67]

Rolling Stone's critics ranked the track 91st in its "100 Greatest Songs of the Century So Far" list and included it among the 50 greatest Latin pop songs of all time, describing it as "one of the most successful hits in pop music history".[68][69] Billboard selected it among the best Latin summer songs of all-time and included it among the 100 songs that defined the 2010s decade.[70][71] The song was inducted to the 2019 edition of the Guinness World Records for achieving seven milestones.[72]

Impact

The success of the song and its remix version led Daddy Yankee to become the most listened-to artist worldwide on streaming service Spotify on July 9, 2017, being the first Latin artist to do so.[140] He later became the sixth most listened-to artist of 2017 on Spotify.[141] "Despacito" was cited by Billboard's Leila Cobo as the song that renewed interest in the Latin music market from recording labels in the United States.[142] Xander Zellner of Billboard credited the influence of the single's success for the Latin music domination in the US mainstream market during 2017, as 11 primarily-Spanish-language songs debuted on the Hot 100.[86] American songwriter Desmond Child and Cuban musician Rudy Pérez expressed that "not since Ricky Martin's 'Livin' La Vida Loca' has there been a song in any genre that has had the global impact of 'Despacito', changing the course of pop music forever."[58] In 2017, six out of the 10 most-viewed YouTube music videos were for songs performed in Spanish by Latin artists and Billboard's Lars Brandle referred to it as "the 'Despacito' effect."[143]

British Official Charts Company recognized it as the song that "helped Latin pop crossover to the mainstream once again."[144] Nielsen's Erin Crawford stated that the track had "a halo effect on several other Latin hits ripe for crossover success", most notably on J Balvin and Willy William's "Mi Gente"[89] Rolling Stone stated that the song "hastened a massive historical turn in American music, demonstrating the mainstream viability of Spanish-language pop."[68] John Ochoa of Rolling Stone stated that "the resulting so-called 'Despacito effect' has advanced a wave of subsequent Spanish-language hits and mainstream crossovers."[69]

The Recording Industry Association of America reported that Latin music revenues grew 37% in 2017, mostly due to music streaming.[145] Latin music's consumption in the United States increased 15% between the first half of 2016 and the first half of 2018.[146] The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) reported that revenue in Latin America grew 17.7% in 2017 and described "Despacito" as a "game-changing hit."[130] In 2018, eight out of the 10 most-viewed YouTube music videos of the year were for songs performed in Spanish and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation referred to it as "the 'Despacito' effect."[147][148]

Sony/ATV Music Publishing President Jorge Mejia stated that the song marked a "before and after" in the global consumption of Latin music.[149] Before its success, Sony "had a big Latin single roughly every two years," a situation that reverted into an "avalanche of Latin songs around the world."[149] Andrew Unterberger of Billboard stated that "2017 was the year that Latin pop took over the United States" due to the song and its quick impact on "Mi Gente", Camila Cabello's "Havana", and the chart performance of acts including Maluma, Ozuna and Bad Bunny, who achieved their biggest hits in the country.[150]

In July 2017, it was reported that tourist interest in Puerto Rico increased by 45% since the worldwide success of the song.[151][152] Tour operators cite the song's music video for increasing interest in locations such as La Factoría and La Perla district in Old San Juan, which were featured in the video.[153]

Music video

Background

The music video for "Despacito" was directed by Puerto Rican director Carlos Pérez and produced by Joanna Egozcue and Roxy Quiñones.[154] Filming took place in December 2016 in La Perla neighborhood and the bar La Factoría in San Juan, Puerto Rico.[154] Carlos Pérez had previously worked with Luis Fonsi on "Corazón en la Maleta" (2014) and with Daddy Yankee on clips including "Gasolina" (2004), "Rompe" (2005), "Descontrol" (2010), and "Ven Conmigo" (2011), among others.[155] 2006 Miss Universe Zuleyka Rivera co-starred in the video and was contacted by Fonsi to represent "the powerful Latina woman."[39]

Jorge Muñíz Ortíz of EFE stated that the music video "highlights some of the main cultural and folkloric symbols of Puerto Rico" by showing its "splendid beaches, the colorful landscape of La Perla, the rattle of the Puerto Rican cuatro and the barrels of the autochthonous genre of bomba, Zuleyka Rivera's hips movement and a pair of men enjoying a game of dominoes."[156]

Synopsis

The video shows both artists performing the song while participating on different parties on the island, featuring model Zuleyka Rivera.[157] The clip starts with shots of La Perla's coast during daylight while showing Zuleyka Rivera arriving at the shanty town on foot. Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee perform the song in a street while elders are playing dominos, a child is getting his hair cut, two people are talking while listening to the radio, and couples are dancing in the background. The video intercalates with shots of Fonsi and Daddy Yankee singing in front of a car with people sitting on it and dancing next to it. As Daddy Yankee is finishing his verse, Zuleyka Rivera enters La Factoría bar while the artists are performing and dancing alongside other people, and men are playing bomba drums.[156] Fonsi proceeds to dance with Rivera as the song ends. The outro consists of Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee singing the hook a cappella with the people at the bar.[156]

Live performances

Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee performed "Despacito" live together for the first time at the 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards on April 27, 2017, and later on The Voice season 12 finals on May 23, 2017.[170][171] The only live performance by Justin Bieber and Luis Fonsi was at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in Puerto Rico on April 18, 2017, during the former's Purpose World Tour.[172] Bieber was not able to sing the song during live performances and was caught replacing portions of the lyrics with the word "blah" and nonsensical ramblings during one performance in a much publicized incident.[173] Fonsi has defended him for not knowing the lyrics, saying that he has to be given "a little bit of a pass" because Spanish is not Bieber's main language.[174]

Luis Fonsi performed "Despacito" on American talk show Conan on June 12, 2017 -his first late-night television appearance in the United States- and on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on September 14, 2017.[175][176] He also performed the song with random lyrics alongside American television host Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 30, 2019.[177]

Both Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee included the song on their setlists for the 2017–18 Love + Dance World Tour and the 2017 Tamo En Vivo Europe Tour, respectively.[178][179][180] On November 16, 2017, Luis Fonsi sang "Despacito" featuring Puerto Rican singer Victor Manuelle, Colombian band Bomba Estéreo and American disc jockey Diplo at the 18th Latin Grammy Awards.[181] On January 28, 2018, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee performed the song at the 60th Grammy Awards on the Madison Square Garden, becoming the 12th and 13th Latin artists ever to perform at the Grammy Awards.[182][183] Fonsi also participated on United States President Joe Biden's inauguration by performing "Despacito" at the Celebrating America special on January 20, 2021.[184]

Other remixes and cover versions

The first two official remixes for "Despacito" were released on March 17, 2017: a solo pop version by Fonsi and a salsa version featuring vocals by Puerto Rican musician Víctor Manuelle.[185] Two other remixes were released on May 5, 2017: an electronic dance version produced by American trio Major Lazer and Colombian DJ MOSKA and an urban version remixed by Colombian producer Sky.[186] A Portuguese-language version written by Erika Ender and performed by Luis Fonsi featuring Brazilian singer Israel Novaes was released on July 14, 2017.[187] A banda version by Luis Fonsi with Mexican group La Bandononona Clave Nueva De Max Peraza was released on September 1, 2017. A Spanish/Mandarin version by Luis Fonsi and Singaporean singer-songwriter JJ Lin was released on January 26, 2018.[188] A Norwegian version was released by Carina Dahl and Adrian Jørgensen in February 2018.[189] This version was certified Gold by IFPI Norway in 2019 and Platinum in 2021.[190]

The song has been covered by a wide range of artists around the world, including Korean singer J.Fla,[191] a classical crossover by Croatian-based duo 2Cellos,[192] a metal version by Norwegian musician Leo Moracchioli, a piano version by Hungarian pianist and world record-holder Peter Bence,[193] an acoustic version by American band Boyce Avenue[194] and a Broadway-style cover by American musical collective group Postmodern Jukebox.[195] These covers garnered between seven and 47 million views on YouTube except for J.Fla's video, which has 217 million views.[191] Leo Moracchioli's version peaked at number 35 on the Hungarian Single Top 40 chart on August 10, 2017.[196] In 2017, American-Greek parody artist So Tiri released a viral Greek-language parody titled "Thes pastitsio" on his YouTube channel.[197] "Weird Al" Yankovic covered the song as a part of his 2024 polka medley "Polkamania!".

Political uses

The song has been used, with altered lyrics, for political purposes. In Argentina, the melody was used by various politicians for their respective TV advertisements for the 2017 midterm elections, by scientists to protest against President Mauricio Macri and by feminists as an initiative to convoke people to a concentration about violence against women.[198][199][200] Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro used it to call for voting in the controversial Constituent Assembly election.[201] Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Erika Ender showed their displeasure with the unauthorized use of the song for political purposes in Venezuela, criticizing Maduro's government use of the song as propaganda.[202][203] On August 16, 2017, English television host James Corden remixed the song to comment on American President Donald Trump during his talk show The Late Late Show with James Corden.[204] On September 15, 2020, Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden played a few bars from the song at a campaign event headlined by Luis Fonsi. In response, Trump tweeted an edited video showing Biden instead playing N.W.A's "Fuck tha Police".[205] In addition, the song was used by delegates from Puerto Rico at the 2024 Democratic National Convention to represent the territory.[206]

Десь по світу ("Somewhere in the world") was a Ukrainian version of the song, produced featuring children in Drohobych Raion, to encourage the return of Ukrainians working abroad.[207]
