Is it Justin Bieber? The beat?
Personally I find it very catchy and danceable. It kinda reminds me of two other summer hits: "Danza Kuduro" and "Ai Se Eu Te Pego".

Why do you think "Despacito" has been so successful?

It's different from the rest of the videos on YouTube and sometimes people want different. The way he says "Des-pa-cito" is catchy. The video is really well done with a lot of pretty girls. Besides Puerto Rico there's a Mexican rapper featured on it so those two groups of people will see it as theirs. It's a dance tune.
Really, what is not to like about it?.

Catchy and not overly annoying when you're stuck in traffic or travelling long distances.

Because it became a meme. For weeks plenty of websites were posting edits despite hating the song. You have a couple of meme songs every year, it's like you live under a rock.

Not sure I've even heard it. I'd seen "despacito" mentioned, but... per the OP, I'm assuming it's Bieber? I probably would have guessed him or Swift but her latest song is shitting the bed hard from everything I've read. Originally Posted by Forgettable

Bieber had something to do with it, but the singers wrote and sang it I think. I'm not really sure what part Beiber had in it, studio work?.

Had to google it. It was shite. It sounds like that kind of music that says nothing for people with nothing to say. The same kind of people who clap on airplanes and laugh at adverts.

Because of lax border policy with Mexico. The wall didn't go up soon enough and now all our children speak Spanish.

Mass produced formulaic pop music. People are conditioned by major radio stations to like it from an early age. Originally Posted by Vortun

I've heard a lot about Despacito, but since I don't listen to the radio, or go to stores that play songs like that, I don't believe I've even listened to it to be honest.

It's a catchy song, that's why, Justin Bieber had nothing to do with it other than is "cover" of the song was far worse than the original.
This on the other hand is a good cover. Leo Moracchioli is brilliant in making metal covers of popular songs.

He features the radio version on many stations and it's just as bad. Originally Posted by Hubcap
