"" is a song recorded by American singer Jennifer Lopez. It was written by Lopez, Kelly Paola Ruiz Moncada, Servando Primera, Víctor Alonso Cárdenas Ospina and David Sanchez Gonzalez. The song was inspired by the track by the same name by Colombian producers Dayvi y Víctor Cárdenas, which was a viral phenomenon in Latin America.[1] The song marks the singer's first Spanish-language single since 2018's Bad Bunny-assisted "Te Guste", and is a high-energy dance number with heavy Latin influences.[2]
Composition and lyrics
Produced by Servando Primera, David Sánchez, Victor Cárdenas and Luis Barrera, "Baila Conmigo" is a Spanish-language dance and EDM track with lyrics are about wanting to spend a special night at the beach dancing until the sunrise.[3] According to a rough translation, the song begins with Lopez asking her lover to "imagine me and you on the beach" with "the sand, the ocean, the sound of the waves" setting the scene for a romantic union. She goes on to fantasize about “traveling all over your body", begging her partner to "kiss me, touch me, and dance with me" before they "touch heaven" with their hands and glue their mouths together. She also sings: "Dale que dale mas duro que la música rompe los muros que solo bailando me curo/ Baila Conmigo" (Do it hard because music breaks barriers and only dancing I heal/ Dance with me).

"Baila Conmigo" debuted at number 16 on Billboards Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, collecting 724,000 domestic streams while selling just over 1,000.
