YAYA

"YAYA" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper 6ix9ine. It was released on July 3, 2020, alongside a music video, as the third single from his second studio album, TattleTales, released on September 4, 2020. The song was written by 6ix9ine, Anuel AA, Anas Rahmoune, Edgar Semper, John Iyinbor, Kedin Maysonet, Luian Malave, Pablo Fuentes, and Xavier Semper and produced by Ramoon and Ransom Beatz. It interpolates the 2003 song "Baila Morena" by Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Héctor & Tito. 6ix9ine first announced the song and its release date on June 27, 2020, in an Instagram Story. He confirmed the track's title in an Instagram video on June 29, with a bikini-clad woman giving him a lap dance and twerking in a studio. He previewed the song with him singing in Spanish and further called it his "best one so far". This marks the third time 6ix9ine, whose mother is Mexican and father is Puerto Rican, released a Spanish song, following the Dummy Boy tracks "Bebe" and "Mala", both of which featured Puerto Rican singer Anuel AA. On September 4, 2020, 6ix9ine announced in a Billboard interview that Anuel AA was supposed to be in "Yaya" and they wrote the song together.
