Single by Daddy Yankee and Katy Perry featuring SnowĪt some point after March 20, 2019, Daddy Yankee was "looking for the surprise factor" but thought that featuring "someone from the urban culture predictable". Daddy Yankee and Snow did not meet for the song's recording nor the filming of the music video. Snow stated that he did not think that "Informer" would be a hit and added that "it is amazing that the song is listened to again after 25 years." He added that "a lot of people made covers before, but Daddy Yankee took it and made something different with his flow." He had a positive reaction to the reworked lyrics, in which there is no mention of themes in "Informer" such as Snow's imprisonment nor his problems with authorities of Toronto, Canada. The track was inducted to the 1999 edition of The Guinness Book of Records as "the biggest-selling reggae single in US history". Snow's "Informer" spent seven consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and was the 10th best-performing song of 1993 on that chart. He wanted to "transmit the best energy and freshness in both dance and music, unifying the music of teen years with today's modern sound." ĭaddy Yankee told Billboard that he chose to release "Dura" in 2018 instead of "Con Calma" and added that the former "opened up a new musical horizon and gave the opportunity to stamp signature." "Con Calma" went through several production and arrangement changes until October 2018, when Daddy Yankee called Play-N-Skillz to tell them that the song was going to be released "in the next couple of months". Daddy Yankee described the situation as "a Canadian and a Puerto Rican making Jamaican music, two pioneers, two people pushing the cultures". ĭaddy Yankee told Apple Music that Snow's 1992 single "Informer" was "one of favorite songs growing up, and to do this the right way needed the guy to be on the record." He added that "you got to give honor to a classic in order to make a new version of it", and after showing it to Snow, he replied that he would "100% be on the song".

Snow and his manager Paul Farberman had been working on devising a comeback since 2017 in order to reintroduce him on music charts through a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and a series of " Informer" remixes scheduled to be released by Radikal Records in New Jersey and Roton Music in Romania. He recorded a verse, which was sent to Daddy Yankee, who "loved it". Play-N-Skillz got in touch with a Miami-based man called Juan Vibras, who was working with independent label Rich Music and connected them with Snow. The original version of "Con Calma" only featured vocals by Daddy Yankee, who told the producers that the song "needed surprise factor" because they "had to pay tribute to the main author". A month later in Los Angeles, the duo showed the project to Daddy Yankee, who was about to record another track but decided to change his plans. Play-N-Skillz came out with the concept of "Con Calma" during early 2017 and recorded a drum loop, while songwriter Máximo Mundial helped them with the chorus idea. Previously, Daddy Yankee and Play-N-Skillz worked together on the singles "Not a Crime" (2016) and "Azukita" (2018), while Gaby Music co-wrote Daddy Yankee's Latin Grammy Award-winner song " Dura" (2018) and served as recording engineer on 2017's Latin Grammy Award for Record of the Year " Despacito" by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee. "Con Calma" was written by Daddy Yankee, Snow, and Juan "Gaby Music" Rivera, and was produced by American production duo Play-N-Skillz and co-produced by David "Scott Summers" Macias. The song also became the longest-reigning number-one on the Argentina Hot 100, with 10 weeks. Across Europe, the single peaked at number one in the Czech Republic, Italy, the Netherlands, Slovenia, and Spain, and reached the top five in Belgium, Poland, and Switzerland. In the United States, it has topped the Hot Latin Songs chart for 14 weeks. Commercially, the song topped the charts of 20 countries and reached the top 10 of 10 others. It has been described as an uptempo electronics and dancehall song with lyrics about "a woman who works her feminine charms and dances very well".
