Justin Bieber decided to release ‘Despacito’ in Spanish.
The hit track became the first song that was primarily in
Spanish to top the Billboard Hot 100 since a 1996 remix of ‘Macarena’ and now
Luis Fonsi – who sings on the track alongside the ‘As Long As You Love Me’
hitmaker – has revealed it was Justin’s decision to use the Spanish version
rather than an English one they had recorded.
He said: “The funny thing is we actually have a version of
the song fully recorded in English, and he knew that. Instead of using that, he
decided to use the Spanish version, even though he doesn’t speak Spanish
himself and made sure he was phonetically pronouncing the words correctly.”
And Luis is understandably thrilled by the success of
‘Despacito’ and thinks it is great news for all genres of music.
