|
||||||||
"Shaky Shaky" is a single by Puerto Rican reggaeton recording artist Daddy Yankee from his eighth studio album El Disco Duro, scheduled to be released during early 2017. The song was recorded in December 2015 as a freestyle during a recording session in Puerto Rico and later released on 8 April 2016 by El Cartel Records. The song was written by Daddy Yankee, Urbani "Urba" Mota and Luis "Rome" Romero. It was produced by Los Evo Jedis, the duo of Urbani Mota and Luis Romero.
The song became Yankee's fourth No. 1 at Billboard's Hot Latin Songs chart and also his first Hot 100 charted single after almost ten years. Its official music video, released on 14 July 2016, surpassed "Limbo" (2012) as Daddy Yankee's most-viewed YouTube video. Commercially, the song has proven to be successful, topping the Dominican, Mexican and three US Billboard Latin charts, while also reaching the top ten in Argentina, Chile, and Colombia. A remix version featuring reggaeton acts Nicky Jam and the duo Plan B was released alongside its lyric video on 14 October 2016. The single was chosen by Billboard as the Best Latin Dance Song of 2016.
"Shaky Shaky" is a reggaeton song composed in 4/4 time with 88 beats per minute. According to Daddy Yankee, the main vocals were recorded in one-take and the lyrics were improvised during a recording session with the production duo Los Evo Jedis. Yankee and DJ Urba, member of the duo, had already worked together on albums including Los Homerun-es (2003),Barrio Fino (2004) and Barrio Fino En Directo (2005), highlighting singles such as "Gata Gangster", "No Me Dejes Solo" and "Rompe". The keyboard bass line was based on the electric guitar one from the single "Murder She Wrote" by Chaka Demus & Pliers, released in 1992. It also includes a repeating sample of a horse's neigh from Mel and Tim's 1970 song "Good Guys Only Win in the Movies", which became popular after Cypress Hill's 1993 single "Insane in the Brain".
