A low-quality preview of the song was posted on October 19, 2009 planned to be included on the now-unreleased album iDon 2.0, the re-release of his 2009 album iDon.[1] The album was never released, and in 2010 the song was mastered and included on Meet the Orphans.
Brian Voerding from Aol Radio Blog said that the song "It's a down-and-dirty dance number that melds traditional island rhythms with a techno-friendly undercurrent and bright synthesizer melodies. [...] Omar, along with Daddy Yankee and others, is one of the primary faces and souls of Reggaeton, a relatively new term for music that blends reggae with contemporary hip-hop and electronic elements."[2]
On the issue of March 5, 2011 the song debuted at number 41 on the Billboard Latin Songs, peaking at number one on the week of July 16, 2011,[4] becoming his third number one single on the chart, and number 23 on the Billboard Latin Pop Airplay,[5] peaking at number 2.[6] On the issue of April 2, 2011 the song debuted at number 28 on the Latin Tropical Airplay,[7] peaking at number 1.[8] On the issue of May 14, 2011 the song also debuted on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart at position 15,[9] and weeks after, topped the chart.[10] It later debuted at number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100 giving Don Omar his third single to enter the chart.[11]
The music video for the song was shot in both the Dominican Republic and Brazil, directed by Marlon Pena and produced by Noelia Cacavelli.[12] It was premiered on April 12, 2011 through Vevo and YouTube.[13] The music video contains clips from the 2011 movie Fast Five (also known as Fast & Furious 5), where he is guest star,[12] as well guest appearances from the movie cast including Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Tyrese Gibson, Dwayne Johnson, Ludacris and Tego Calderón.[14]
According to Don Omar's Universal website, the video has a strong storyline and recaptures the essence of the popular Brazilian version, which is heavily influenced by choreographed dance moves.[15] As of August 2011, the music video had received 50 million views, becoming his most viewed video after "Danza Kuduro".[16]

Taboo was a Eurodance group formed in Germany. It was created by producers Nico Dee-Brunetti and Piero Brunetti. They released one single, "I Dream of You Tonight (Bab Ba Ba Bab)". It peaked at number 92 on the German Singles Chart and reached number-one on the RPM Dance Chart in Canada.
Taboo is a forthcoming British-American drama television miniseries created by Steven Knight. The eight-episode miniseries is about an adventurer who returns to Britain from Africa along with fourteen stolen diamonds to seek vengeance after the death of his father. Kristoffer Nyholm will direct the first four episodes. The miniseries, created from a story co-written by Tom Hardy and his father, Chips Hardy, who will act as a consulting producer, will premiere on BBC One in the United Kingdom and FX in the United States.
Before the broadcast of Taboo, Steven Knight said the East India Company would be depicted as the historical equivalent of "the CIA, the NSA, and the biggest, baddest multinational corporation on earth". This description surprised some historians, who argued it would give an excessively negative view of the East India Company.
Chu or CHU may refer to:
Chu (Chinese: 楚, Old Chinese: *s-r̥aʔ) was a hegemonic, Zhou dynasty era state. From King Wu of Chu in the early 8th century BC, the rulers of Chu declared themselves kings on an equal footing with the Zhou kings. Though initially inconsequential, removed to the south of the Zhou heartland and practising differing customs, Chu began a series of administrative reforms, becoming a successful expansionist state during the Spring and Autumn period. With its continued expansion Chu became a great Warring States period power, and its culture a major influence on the Han dynasty.
Also known as Jing (荆) and Jingchu (荆楚), Chu included most of the present-day provinces of Hubei and Hunan, along with parts of Chongqing, Guizhou, Henan, Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. For more than 400 years, the Chu capital Danyang was located at the junction of the Dan and Xi Rivers near present-day Xichuan County, Henan, but later moved to Ying. The ruling house of Chu originally bore the clan name Nai (嬭) and lineage name Yan (酓), but they are later written as Mi (芈) and Xiong (熊), respectively.
Chu or Châu is a Vietnamese surname. The name is transliterated as Zhou (for Chu) and Zhu (for Châu) in Chinese, and Ju in Korean.
Chau is the anglicized variation of the surname Châu.
