"Bailando" (English: "Dancing") is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias for his tenth studio album Sex and Love (2014). The original Spanish version features the Cuban artists Descemer Bueno and Gente de Zona. The song was written by all of the artists, while production was handled by Carlos Paucar. It was released by Universal Republic Records as the sixth single from the record.

As of 24 August 2014, there are three other versions of the song that have been released to the music market besides the original Spanish version. The Spanglish version features Jamaican singer Sean Paul. Iglesias also released two Portuguese versions of the song: one version of the song in Portuguese destined for Brazilian market with additional vocals by Brazilian singer Luan Santana,[1] and the other Portuguese version destined for the Portuguese market featured the additional vocals of the Portuguese singer Mickael Carreira.

The original Spanish version of "Bailando" served as the theme song of the soap opera Reina de Corazones which aired on Telemundo.[2] According to the IFPI, Bailando was the tenth best-selling song of 2014 with sales of 8 million copies worldwide.[3]

Background

The song was originally recorded by Gente De Zona. In an interview Iglesias gave to Univision Musica, backstage at the Premios lo Nuestro he told the reporter that when Bueno presented the song to him, he initially did not like it and did not want to record it. But after recording he loved the song. He termed it as one of his favourites from the album.[4]

Controversy

The Peruvian singer and composer Sergio Pelo D'ambrosio Robles reported that the theme "Bailando" (signed by the Cuban Descemer Bueno) by Enrique Iglesias, copied the intro and the chorus of his song "Lejos de ti".[5][6][7] A few months later, however, the Peruvian singer decided to withdraw the complaint because experts indicated that there was no plagiarism in the lyrics nor in the chorus.[8]

Music video

Accompanying music videos for both, the Spanish and the Spanglish versions of "Bailando" were filmed in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The video for Spanish version was premiered through Univision on 10 April 2014 and was premiered worldwide on 11 April 2014 through Iglesias' official Vevo account[9] for the Spanglish version through Vevo on 13 June 2014, next the Brazil Portuguese version with Brazilian singer Luan Santana through Vevo on 7 July 2014, and the Portugal Portuguese version with Portugal singer Mickael Carreira on 22 August 2014 through Iglesias' official Vevo account too.[10]

The music video is directed by Cuban producer Alejandro Perez, under Enrique Iglesias' longtime collaborators creative director Yasha Malekzad & executive producer Kasra Pezeshki. The music video was produced by Artist Preserve, London.[11] The featured dancers are from Havana's Ballet Lizt Alfonso.[12][13] The lead girl in the video is Ana Karla Suarez.[14][15] The music video was shot in Dominican Republic.[16] The video production in the Dominican Republic was produced by Aquiles Jimenez.[17] The Spanish version of the video has been viewed over 1.42 billion times[18] while the English version of the video has received 180 million views as of May 2016. It is his most viewed video on YouTube, surpassing his 2010 hit "I Like It". The Spanish version of the video was the second most viewed music video on YouTube in 2014 behind Dark Horse by Katy Perry, and eighth overall in YouTube history.[19] "Bailando" became the first Spanish-language music video to have been viewed over a billion times.[20]

Synopsis

The video starts with Descemer singing Bailando in the room with Enrique and Gente De Zona whilst Enrique performing some football skills. As the song starts Iglesias, Bueno and Gente D' Zona walk the streets of the city, surrounded by working people and kids who juggle soccer balls. Enrique and Co. are then seen performing "Bailando" in a tunnel, running through a street market and a troop of flamenco dancers showing off their moves. Shortly after, Iglesias is seen to be seduced by a sexy brunette ( Ana Karla Suarez ) showing her best dance moves. The video ends with Enrique and Co. running back after they hear police sirens approaching them.[21][22]

Critical response

Billboard described the video as spectacular and mentioned that "a young Cuban flamenco troupe swirling in red dresses meet up with street dancers with some mad soccer skills in one of the best choreographed encounters since the Sharks met the Jets."[23] Huffington Post also mentioned that the video has a little football and a sensual dance.[22]

Live performances

On 17 March 2014, Iglesias performed "Bailando", "I'm a Freak", and "Heart Attack" on Today in New York City.[24]
