Music video
"Pepas" on YouTube

"Pepas" is a guaracha song by Puerto Rican rapper and singer-songwriter Farruko from his studio album La 167. It was released as single on June 24, 2021, via Sony Music Latin.[2] It reached No. 25 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the US Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, becoming Farruko's highest-charting single to date.[3] An official remix was released by David Guetta.

Background

[edit]

Farruko called the song, a "total experiment". He gathered a few people in the studio and asking them to sing a stadium chant that sounded similar to a church choir.[4]

Composition

[edit]

"Pepas" starts off slow, then quickly picks up and morphs into something "reminiscent of pre-COVID-19 pandemic dance parties".[5]

Music video

[edit]

The music video was directed by Mike Ho and released on August 6, 2021. According to a description by Jessica Roiz of Billboard, it includes "an all-night-long rave with fireworks, dancers, men dressed in neon suits, and Farruko dancing on top of shipping containers".[6]

Charts

[edit]
[edit]

The song was used by the 2021-22 Miami Heat as the team's anthem throughout the season.[112]

Major League Soccer club Charlotte FC has used the song as its pre-match hype song since its inaugural season in 2022.[113] Another MLS club, the Vancouver Whitecaps, began using Pepas as their goal song during the 2022 season.

Real Madrid players celebrated their comeback victories (and eventual trophy win) in the dressing rooms by singing Pepas during the 2021–22 UEFA Champions League season.[114]

The song was also featured in the 2023 film Missing.
