Despacito was released in 2017 by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi featuring rapper Daddy Yankee, and it quickly became a worldwide Latin pop phenomenon, topping charts across many countries and breaking streaming records. A remix featuring Justin Bieber helped it reach even wider English-speaking audiences, while its video became one of the most watched in YouTube history. Its instantly recognisable melody has since lived on in memes, edits and dance clips, where a few seconds are enough to signal summer, romance and celebration.
