Daddy Yankee’s “Que Tire Pa’ ‘Lante” demanded attention that YouTube viewers couldn’t resist, as the Puerto Rican’s superstar’s dancehall-reggaetón hit has entered the Billion Views Club.
Released in 2019 by El Cartel Records and Warner Chappell Music, this track not only highlights Daddy Yankee’s verbal agility — seriously, try rapidly repeating “Que tire, que tire, que tire, que tire, que tire, que tire, que tire” like he does — but it also cleverly integrates the dancehall classic “Murder She Wrote” by Chaka Demus & Pliers, crafting a relentless rhythmic powerhouse.
The music video — directed by Marlon Peña and set against a neon-lit urban desert — is a compelling showcase of global street-dance talent. Dancers from varied backgrounds burst into the scene, each adding their distinctive style to the exhilarating dance-off presided over by Daddy Yankee. His dynamic presence and powerful performance ensure viewers are glued to their screens, reflecting the song’s energetic call to keep the dance momentum strong.
The visual also features inventive bitmoji cameos from Latin juggernauts such as Anuel AA, Bad Bunny, Darell, Natti Natasha, Wisin and Lennox.
Beyond its visual appeal, “Que Tire Pa’ ‘Lante” boasts impressive chart success, reaching the No. 1 spot on multiple Billboard charts, including Latin Airplay, Latin Rhythm Airplay and Argentina Hot 100.
This track marks Daddy Yankee’s eighth victory lap as a lead, featured artist or collaborator in the YouTube Billion Views Club, joining the ranks of “Despacito” with Luis Fonsi, “Con Calma” with Snow, “Dura” and more.
