Despacito is a song from 2017 made by Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi. It was the most popular streamed song across the globe within six months. Mixing Reggaeton and pop came out in 2017 by the Puerto Rican musician Luis Fonsi with Daddy Yankee. The track became the most-streamed at that period within a span of six months. The Billboard Top 100 featured two songs that were Spanish generally, and four tracks in the year 2016. At the peak of Despacito's popularity in 2017 however 19 mostly Spanish tracks made the top 100, and in 2020 there were 41 of them. After Justin Bieber released his bilingual remix of Despacito in 2017, the most well-known artists began to join forces with reggaeton artists. Drake and Bad Bunny worked together for the track MIA MIA (2018), while Madonna collaborated with Maluma to record Medellin in the year 2019. As early as 2020, some reggaeton musicians felt dissatisfied with the direction the genre was shifting towards the more mainstream. Rauw Alajandro is a participant in a fresh generation that aims to change the course. The group incorporated elements from different styles and electronic music.
