"Dile" (English: Tell Her) is a song by Puerto Rican reggaetón recording artist Ivy Queen, from her fourth studio album, Real (2004). It was composed by Queen along with Eliel Osorio and Alvaro Arroyo, produced by DJ Nelson and Noriega and released as the lead single from the album on via Airplay in November 2004. The musical style as well as the lyrical content is very similar to the song released by Don Omar by the same name, the same year.

There is an music video associated with the song released along with two other music videos by Queen: "Dale Volumen" and "Matando" both from the album Real. The song was able to peak at number eight on the Billboard Latin Tropical Airplay chart, earning Ivy Queen an 2004 Latin Billboard Music Award nomination for "Tropical/Salsa Airplay Track, Female". The song, along with the album, was re-released in 2007 under Machete Music.

Following the failed commercial success of Ivy Queen's precedent two studio albums, En Mi Imperio (1997) and The Original Rude Girl (1998), she was dropped from the Sony label and took a hiatus from her musical career in 1999. The 1999 hip-hop single, "In The Zone", a duet with Haitian singer Wyclef Jean and lead single from the latter, was a moderate success in the United States. The second single "Ritmo Latino" and its parent album respectively, were overlooked by consumers and failed to chart. Subsequently, Queen appeared on reggaetón compilation albums spawning hits including "Quiero Bailar", and collaborations with artists on Tommy Boy Records and Columbia Records. In 2003, Queen released her third studio effort entitled Diva. The album was highly anticipated and acclaimed. It was recognized as a factor in reggaeton's mainstream exposure in 2004 along with Daddy Yankee's Barrio Fino and Tego Calderon's El Enemy de los Guasíbiri, after being certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America.
