Despacito was released in 2017 by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee, and its pasito a pasito, suave suavecito chorus became one of the most recognised hooks in pop. The song topped charts worldwide and helped bring Spanish language pop to a huge global audience online. Short clips of its melody and sung lines later spread on soundboards and in meme edits, where the familiar rhythm works without any setup. This brief excerpt is still used because the tune is instantly identifiable from just a few notes.
