"Despechá" is a song by Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalía. It was released on 28 July 2022 by Columbia Records as a single from Motomami +, the deluxe edition of her third studio album Motomami (2022). The song was written by Rosalía, reggaeton veterans Chris Jedi, Gaby Music, and El Kagueto del Guetto, along with Motomami producers David Rodríguez, Noah Goldstein and Dylan Patrice. "Despechá" is a mambo track, with merengue and electropop elements, about "the joys of leaving work and toxic men behind to hit the club." A remix with American rapper Cardi B was released on 16 December 2022.

The song was met with great commercial success upon release, earning the biggest streaming debut for a Spanish-language song by a female artist in Spotify history. "Despechá" topped the charts in Spain, Panama and Uruguay, while also hitting the top ten in seventeen other countries. It became Rosalía's first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100 and her highest charting single on the Billboard Global 200.

Background

In March 2022, Rosalía released her third studio album Motomami, which saw a departure from the new flamenco sound of its predecessor and an embracement of Latin music in an avant-garde and experimental key. The album met with commercial and critical success. To further promote the record, the singer embarked on the Motomami World Tour, scheduled to visit seventeen countries from July to December 2022.

At the opening night of the tour in Almería, Rosalía unveiled three unreleased tracks, with a fourth in Seville. Two of them have been confirmed to be discarded songs from Motomami while and one was specifically written for the tour. "Despechá" (at the time known as "Lao a Lao" by fans), is performed between a 4-minute classic reggaeton medley that blends Lorna's "Papi Chulo" and "Gasolina" with Rosalía's "TKN" and "Yo x Ti, Tu x Mi"; and the unreleased track "Aislamiento". During the medley and "Despechá", Rosalía brought onstage twenty fans previously selected by her team to dance with her, making the performance a highlight within the show.

"Despechá" became a fan favorite, and videos of the performance were shared on TikTok. On 12 July, Rosalía posted a TikTok video teasing the studio version of the song. During the 19 July show in Madrid, the singer asked the audience whether they preferred the track to be titled "Despechá" or "Lao a Lao", with the audience preferring the former. After performing it at her show in Bilbao on 27 July, Rosalía revealed that "Despechá" would be released on digital platforms that same night.

Composition

"Despechá" is a track with merengue and electropop elements that runs for two minutes and thirty-seven seconds. Described by Pitchfork as "a wonder of efficiency, flitting back and forth between two springy piano chords as it rides an equally fleet percussive rhythm", the song is about leaving work and heartbreak behind to have fun with one's friends in the club and see life in the most hedonist way possible. Lyrical references include Fefita la Grande and Dominican singer Omega, who was originally featured on the track.

About the song, Rosalía has stated that "there are many ways to be Шаблон:Lang, in this theme it is from the freeness or the craziness, moving without reservations or regrets. This is the place from where I make music, from where I did it when I first started and where I will continue to until God says so. I'm grateful for having been able to travel in recent years and have learned from music from other places including the [Dominican Republic], where artists like Fefita la Grande, Juan Luis Guerra, and Omega have inspired me and without them this song would not exist."
