"Amigo en el Baño" ("My friend in the bathroom") is a Latin pop song written by Kany García for her first studio album Cualquier Día. It was released as the album's third single in early 2008. The song has become Kany's signature song. The song has become Kany's second song to appear in Billboard Hot Latin Songs. The song was later covered by Dominican Merengue artist Juliana O'Neal in merengue version.
"Amigo en el Baño" is a song written by Kany Garcia. The lyrics were written for a music class assignment but later released on Kany's debut album "Cualquier Día". The song has been labeled as "taboo" for its lyrics. Billboard.com says about the song "Garcia's sudden bursts of anger are a dose of good sassy fun, especially on the country-tinged "Amigo en el Baño", a darkly funny tune about a vibrator." According to Kany, the song is about a woman finding happiness after being left by a man. It is the first single to bear elements of country/rock music.
The music video was shot in a bathroom. The video starts off with Kany in the bathroom singing and flirting to the mirror. Later on, scenes show Kany singing and later she appears with her band performing the song. Different girls appear in the end of the music video singing the lyrics to "Con mi Amigo en el Baño". The words "Por Que?, No lo Pierdas, and Valio la Pena", where written on the mirror, like if Kany wrote then because of the heat in the bathroom.
The music video was shot in Puerto Rico and was directed by Pedro Juan Hernandez. In Kany's words, she wanted to keep the video PG because she knows that even though the song is as very 'riskee', she still has young fans that might be watching it. The music video premiered in No Te Duermas, a latenight TV show in Puerto Rico.
The music video has become Kany's second music video to receive airplay in MTV Tr3s, Mun2, Univision, and hTV. Not only the video has become famous but it has become a fan's favorite especially by the women.
An animated music video of "Amigo en el Baño" was released over YouTube and later overiTunes. The video shows an animated Kany finding her boyfriend with another woman in bed. She then goes to a store and buys a vibrator who comes to life. The vibrator gets into a fighting ring with Kany's ex and fights him. Later both Kany and the vibrator go out to eat, then dance together and later head home where she is confronted by her ex-boyfriend. The video ends with the animated Kany giving birth to small 'vibrators'. The music video was Kany's first video to chart on iTunes Top 100 Latino Music Videos, where is currently on #39. The music video has been watched over 5 million in YouTube. The video has an Explicit label on it.
