Mexican artists Yng Lvcas and Peso Pluma have reached a major career milestone as their remix of La Bebe has officially crossed one billion views on YouTube, joining the prestigious YouTube Billion Views Club. This monumental achievement marks a significant moment for both singers/rappers, as they celebrate the continued success of their viral collaboration.
The Rise of La Bebe: From 2021 to Global Success
The original version of La Bebe was first released by Yng Lvcas in 2021, though it didn’t immediately gain mainstream attention. Surprisingly, it was left off his debut Wup? Mixtape 1, but Lvcas didn’t let it fade into the background. Instead, he recycled the track as the outro for his reggaetón-focused follow-up project, La Perreo Mixtape, also released in 2021. While La Bebe showed promise, it wasn’t until 2023 when the remix, featuring Peso Pluma, truly catapulted the song into global stardom.
When the remix dropped in March 2023, it quickly captured the attention of listeners, thanks in part to Peso Pluma’s smooth, laid-back vocals, which perfectly complemented Yng Lvcas’ equally relaxed delivery. This new version of the song brought fresh energy and vibes, sparking a surge of popularity that would eventually lead to its viral success on YouTube.
Peso Pluma Joins the Remix: A Winning Collaboration
Peso Pluma’s involvement in the remix played a key role in La Bebe's massive success. Known for his distinct vocal style and presence in the Latin music scene, Peso Pluma brought an extra layer of appeal to the track. Together, the two artists created a remix that seamlessly blended reggaetón with contemporary trap elements, appealing to both Latin music fans and a broader international audience.
The accompanying music video was another major factor in the song's rise to fame. Set on a neon-lit soundstage, the video features Yng Lvcas and Peso Pluma rocking flashy designer outfits while performing in front of silver and gold balloons spelling out the song’s title. The video’s minimalist yet colorful aesthetic, combined with the vibrant energy of the track, made it an instant hit with viewers.
The visuals also shift between scenes of the two artists performing alongside lingerie-clad models, adding an element of sensuality to the video. The choreography, paired with the song’s catchy, laid-back beat, further boosted the video’s shareability across platforms like TikTok and Instagram, solidifying its place in pop culture.
Breaking Records: La Bebe's Journey to One Billion Views
La Bebe's remix first appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 2023, debuting at number 77. The song quickly climbed the charts, eventually peaking at number 11. On the Latin charts, the remix performed even better, reaching number 2 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and securing the number 1 spot on the Latin Rhythm Airplay chart by June 2023.
The success of the remix can be attributed not only to the infectious collaboration between Yng Lvcas and Peso Pluma but also to the song's relatable lyrics. In the track, Yng Lvcas sings, “She wants me to put music on/ So that the baby can dance all the way down,” capturing a carefree, party-like vibe that resonated with fans. Peso Pluma's signature style added a unique twist, making the remix an instant favorite among reggaetón enthusiasts and casual listeners alike.
As the views continued to rack up, it became clear that La Bebe was not just a regional hit but a global sensation. The remix’s entry into the YouTube Billion Views Club marks a major achievement for Yng Lvcas and Peso Pluma, both of whom have solidified their places as key players in the Latin music scene.
A New Chapter for Latin Music
The billion-view milestone represents a significant cultural moment for reggaetón and Latin music as a whole. The success of La Bebe showcases the genre’s ability to transcend borders and reach massive global audiences. With its smooth flow, catchy beat, and visually engaging music video, La Bebe has proven that Latin music continues to dominate not only in its home countries but around the world.
Yng Lvcas and Peso Pluma's achievement reflects the growing influence of Latin artists in mainstream music. Their collaboration on La Bebe remix has opened the door to new opportunities, positioning them as leading figures in the future of Latin trap and reggaetón.
