One thing to remember from 2017 is the Latin song by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, the global sensation Despacito. The song was sung by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi and rapper Daddy Yankee, who are of the same nationality. The song was a lead single from their album called Vida. In addition, one of the official remixes of the song, sung by Canadian artist and world-renowned singer Justin Bieber, also got pretty good views on YouTube and streaming services. With the remix's release, the original song saw a sudden improvement in its performance in several countries, which made it possible for the song to reach the number-one spot.
According to several critics and music composers, Despacito is the song that reviewed the lost popularity of songs written in Spanish-language. Besides this, the fusion between Latin and urban rhythms blends in so well that it makes the song catchy, even for those who don’t know a single word of Spanish and Latin. The meaning behind the song's lyrics is that the singer is trying to build a relationship with a girl he desires smoothly and romantically. The song received a good reception in terms of collecting awards.
At the 18th Latin Grammy Awards, Despacito won for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Urban-fusion Performance and Best Short Form Music Video. Furthermore, Despacito has also been named one of the best Latin Songs Of All time, and it is present in the list of best songs of 2017 by numerous publications, including Rolling Stones, which referred to this song as the most successful Spanish-language track in pop music history.
