really *listened* to it..

It truly does have a beautiful melody. Plus the tempo's relaxed enough that older people can vibe to it without feeling out of touch, but the reggaeton elements modernize it for young people. And that BRIDGE. I get how it resonated with so many people.

Another thing, too, is I think we forget how broadly spoken the spanish language is, globally lol - it's one of the most widely spoken, after Mandarin. There are even more native spanish speakers on the planet than english speakers. And across multiple continents/regions - N. Am, S. Am, Carribean, Parts of Europe, Parts of Africa., etc.

Soo.. mix a catchy, melodic, song that can appeal to different age groups with an audience that large, it's not hard to see how it topped charts in like 50 countries. (12x PLAT in Spain? whoa)

We saw this with 'Macarena' lol
