Despacito was released in January 2017 by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee, and it quickly became one of the most streamed songs in the world. Its blend of Latin pop and reggaeton, with a memorable guitar riff and Spanish lyrics, helped it top charts in dozens of countries. A remix featuring Justin Bieber later that year pushed it even further into global pop culture. The song remains a shorthand for romance, summer and Latin music, which is why short clips of its opening still appear in videos, memes and dance trends.
