Gasolina was released by Puerto Rican artist Daddy Yankee in 2004 on his album Barrio Fino and became one of the songs that brought reggaeton to a global audience. Its title uses gasoline as slang for energy and desire on the dance floor, which helped the chorus become instantly recognisable far beyond Spanish speaking listeners. The track has remained a staple at parties and in online edits for years, where its opening energy is used as shorthand for speed, confidence and nonstop movement.
