About Con Calma

The original version of the song, "Informer," was a personal hit for Snow as he composed it while in prison after having been arrested for homicide and robbery charges. The popular song became an anthem for the vast following of Snow's music artwork. Snow wrote the song based on his point of view and the incidents that led to his distressing situation, how the authorities had been vigilant to his every move, and how they were ultimately successful in arresting him. While recounting the origin of the song, it's apparent that Daddy Yankee and Snow brilliantly adapted the urban tune while keeping the essence of the original intact.

The adaptation of the song brilliantly narrates a scene in the club where a person is attracted to a woman, much like the common themes in modern-day reggaeton. The song has a groovy beat with catchy lyrics that complement the overall music arrangement.  It is a testament to the creative genius of Daddy Yankee and how he can take a classic tune and add new life to it, while still retaining the essence of the original that Snow fans love.

The music video for the song is directed by bigwigs like XAXO and Charlie Rodriguez, who have been instrumental in Daddy Yankee's music ventures. The video is set in an amusement park, with beautiful women dancing to the catchy beats of the song. The stunning vibrant colors and visual metaphors make the video engaging and hard to take your eyes away from it. The vibrant imagery themes greatly complement the catchy beats that add just enough spice to make the music video both playful and youthful.

The song has amassed millions of listeners and has been trending across the world. It has been praised by many critics [1], who laud the reinterpretation of "Informer," and commend how Daddy Yankee and Snow have been able to create a song that is unique and yet pays homage to the original at the same time.
