"Soy" (Spanish pronunciation: [soi]; English: "I Am") is a song recorded by Argentine singer Lali serving as the lead single for her second studio album Soy and was released on May 5, 2016. The song was written by Espósito along with music producers Pablo Akselrad, Luis Burgio and Gustavo Novello, and was produced by 3musica.
In March 2016, Lali Espósito released "Unico" as the intended first single of her second studio album, Soy. Espósito said that the song is "a simple but deep definition to understand what it means to be oneself. [The lyrics] are my thoughts, my joys, my pains, stories and beliefs made song; music that makes us feel alive, that makes us be". The song became the Espósito's first No. 1 hit on the Argentina Lista 40.
Espósito performed "Soy" for the first time in TV on May 30, 2016 at Showmatch's 27th season premiere along with "Unico". The performance, which was ranked as one of the best moments of the night, received positive reviews. Diario Veloz stated that "Espósito's figure emerged from the chiaroscuro caused by the lighting effects and joined her dancers on an explosive performance".El Trece's official website admitted that "a lot of Bailando por un Sueño contestants would love to do something as similar [as Espósito did] to stand out and get to the finals." On August 7, 2016, Espósito performed a medley of "Unico", "Boomerang" and "Soy" at Susana Giménez. On October 27, 2016 Espósito performed "Boomerang" and "Soy" at the eleventh season of Bailando por un Sueño Argentina, where she appeared on a María del Cerro's performance.
