Songfacts®:

• Yng Lvcas is a Mexican singer-songwriter from Guadalajara, Jalisco. He released this reggaeton song independently on December 24, 2021.
• On "'La Bebe," Yng Lvcas sings of encountering a wild young woman in a club. According to the singer, she is a little devil, small but spicy, and she likes dancing up close. The girl has a boyfriend but she reassures Lvcas their relationship is broken. He gets some alone time with this "bebe" and they let loose, dance, drink and smoke.
• "La Bebé" originally served as a mere reggaetón filler to a corridos album back in 2021. Although the song didn't make it to Lvcas' debut release, it found its way as the outro to the reggaetón-leaning follow-up LPM (or La Perreo Mixtape) three months later. It wasn't until Warner Latina dropped a remix of the track featuring Mexican artist Peso Pluma on March 17, 2023, that "La Bebé" skyrocketed to a massive hit.
• Hazakings Beatz and Bouncebosses produced the "Bebe" remix. Hazakings Beatz also produced Yng Lvcas' original version.
• According to Yng Lvcas, the idea of collaborating with Peso Pluma was never on their radar. "We were not contemplating that option, ever, I can be honest," the artist revealed to Billboard. Originally, he considered inviting Milo Mae and Ñengo Flow to work with him on the remix, but when someone reached out and told him that Peso Pluma was interested in recording with him and doing reggaetón, Yng Lvcas jumped at the opportunity.
  
  Things moved quickly, and the plan was to meet Peso Pluma and make reggaetón together. Yng Lvcas even sent him three other songs to choose from, but when they got to the studio, Peso Pluma revealed he was interested in doing the remix of "La Bebé" because he loved the song. "In my head, all I could think of was, 'Mexico!'" Yng Lvcas exclaimed.
• Warner Latina wanted Puerto Rican reggaetón star Lenny Tavárez to feature on the remix, but Yng Lvcas was hesitant about the idea. "I didn't want to," the artist revealed, acknowledging Tavárez's talent but emphasizing that the remix needed to stay true to its Mexican roots. "The heart of the song is Mexa [Mexican]. It doesn't have to belong to anyone else," he explained, adding that this was why he ultimately chose to collaborate with Peso Pluma instead.
