Te Felicito was released in April 2022 as a single by Colombian singer Shakira featuring Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro. The reggaeton and electropop track became an international hit, helped by its colourful music video and a danceable chorus that spread quickly on short video platforms. Online, the title phrase took on a second life as an ironic reaction, because the song addresses a partner who acts well while lying. Short excerpts continue to circulate in edits and soundboards for that knowing, sarcastic tone.
About this sound
Short clip of Te Felicito by Shakira and Rauw Alejandro, the Latin pop hit used in edits, dance videos and meme posts about ironic congratulations.
This short excerpt captures the catchy hook from Te Felicito, built around a bright reggaeton pop beat and Shakira's clear, playful vocal delivery. The snippet is just long enough to land the title phrase, giving it an instantly recognisable, singalong feel even for listeners who do not know the full song. Its tone is upbeat but slightly sarcastic, as the lyrics congratulate someone while calling out dishonesty. That contrast makes the clip feel teasing rather than sincere, perfect for punctuating a moment where praise is clearly not meant to be taken seriously at all.
