Yng Lvcas and Peso Pluma’s ‘La Bebe’ Remix Video Hits One Billion YouTube Views

Yng Lvcas and Peso Pluma have a billion reasons to celebrate this week. The Mexican singer/rappers both scored their first ever ticket into the YouTube Billion Views Club this week when the clip for the remix of their smash 2023 collaboration, “La Bebe,” crossed the 10-digit line.

Lvcas launched the original version of “Bebe” in 2021, though the popular song didn’t end up on his debut Wup? Mixtape 1 released that year. He recycled it as the outro for his reggaetón-leaning follow-up La Perreo Mixtape), which came out later in 2021.

When the remix arrived in March 2023 it came with additional vocals from Pluma, whose laid-back vocals matched Lvcas’ equally chill flow. The colorful video for the remix features the two men rocking flashy designer gear while singing on a nearly empty soundstage lit by neon tubes, with the song’s title spelled out in silver and gold mylar balloons floating behind them.

Though they start out alone on the rose and red heart balloon-strewn stage, the scene soon shifts to footage of the men cooly crooning in front of a flashy mansion, accompanied by a quartet of lingerie-clad women shaking their hips to the spare beat. “She wants me to put music on/ So that the baby can dance all the way down/ We drank a couple of bottles/ And even so, she remembers that we did it yesterday,” Lvcas sings in Spanish (translation courtesy of Genius).

LVcas then gets some alone time with one of the models in a bedroom, while Pluma dances his way through various scenes wearing a black balaclava and puffer coat accented by a Public Image Ltd. t-shirt.

The “La Bebe” remix debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 77 in April 2023 and eventually climbed up to No. 11; it topped out at No. 2 on Billboard’s Hot Latin Songs chart and hit No. 1 on the Latin Rhythm Airplay tally in June of that year.
