Despacito was released in January 2017 by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee, and it quickly became a worldwide chart hit. A remix featuring Justin Bieber later that year pushed it further into English-speaking markets, and its music video became one of the most viewed videos on YouTube. The song's mix of reggaeton and Latin pop, catchy Spanish chorus and danceable rhythm made it a staple at parties and on social media, where short clips are still used to signal summer, romance and celebration.
