Ai Se Eu Te Pego is a Brazilian Portuguese song recorded by Michel Teló, released in 2011 and becoming a huge international hit in 2011 and 2012. Written in the sertanejo style, it spread through live performances, football celebrations and viral dance videos across Europe and Latin America. The catchy chorus and simple dance helped it cross language barriers, and short clips of the hook later resurfaced on social media as a reaction and edit sound, long after the chart run ended.
