Taki Taki
In 2018, DJ Snake dropped a tune that quickly became a viral sensation. The highly anticipated dance track includes DJ Snake, Cardi B, Selena Gomez, and Ozuna. And although fans quickly embraced it, the song also made fans scratch their heads as to what "Taki Taki" really means.
The song, which contains an obviously frenetic Latin dance beat, includes a seamless combination of English and Spanish lyrics that compels you to sing along. However, although the majority of the lines are straightforward, the song's central section — and title — have garnered some confusion.
Despite some circulating ideas - as revealed by PopBuzz - that the song title was really slang for a graphic sexual encounter, a new behind-the-scene clip seems to demonstrate otherwise, as Cardi and Ozuna explain the song's true meaning to listeners who may be perplexed by the title's translation. Cardi disclosed the following in the video provided by Times of India: "I am certain that Ozuna coined the term. Because you know these Reggaeton musicians, you know they're making stuff up, and you're like, 'what does Taki Taki even mean? I have no idea, but it seems to flow correctly.”
