"Mi Chico" is a song by Romanian musician DJ Goja, released by American media company Gamma on 27 March 2026. A version featuring American singer Jason Derulo and Brazilian singer Melody was released on 26 June 2026.

Background

[edit]

Goja told the Romanian radio station Kiss FM that the idea for the song had come to him whilst he was working on children's music projects, explaining that he wanted to combine Afrobeats sounds with the structure of children's music, which is characterised by easy-to-remember and repetitive lyrics. Goja chose a title in Spanish because, in his view, that language evokes a summery atmosphere.[1] His recent interest in Afro house inspired the songwriting process for the track, for which he wanted to create a song that makes people want to dance whilst also resonating emotionally with listeners.[2]

Composition and lyrics

[edit]

The song incorporates elements of dance music, with a neon-lit nightlife vibe and a sensual atmosphere. The lyrics express a tension between desire, rhythm and freedom, centred around the chorus "She got that vibe Mi Chico, dance all night Mi Chico", which also opens the song.[3]

Virality

[edit]

The song was promoted by global K-pop artists such as Twice and Hearts2Hearts, which contributed to its viral success on social media. By June 2026, it had accumulated over 12 million views on YouTube.[4]

Background and release

[edit]

Following the viral success of the original song, American singer Jason Derulo congratulated Goja on Instagram, and Goja then suggested they produce a new version of the track. Derulo liked the idea and they then worked together for two weeks. Ahead of its release, the new version was promoted on TikTok via a teaser featuring a dance routine, which had generated more than 250,000 creations prior to the release date.[1][5]

The new version was released on 26 June 2026, featuring Derulo and Brazilian singer Melody.[6] The release was accompanied by a music video filmed in Paris, France.[1][7] Directed by French filmmaker and choreographer Kevin Bago, it features Goja, Derulo, Melody and a troupe of 30 dancers, including the duo Les Twins.[8]

Reception

[edit]

The version has been described as an Afro house crossover incorporating elements of electronic music, contemporary pop and Latin influences.[9][10] It has been described as an "easy sing-along" summery dance track, with a danceable and intense rhythm, whilst the music video has been described as a "visual spectacle full of color" featuring an "explosive choreography".[11][12] In addition, the release was considered as an attempt to connect the Afro house trend with pop elements, at a time when the genre had gained popularity in recent years.[13] Derulo said that the track was "one of those songs that instantly felt special", with "that perfect mix of rhythm, emotion and escapism that makes you want to dance all night".[2]
