The song received mixed reviews with ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard.com]]'' editor Michael Menachem giving the single a favorable review: {{quote|1="Pitbull delivers some Little Havana to the club scene with "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)." The clever meshing of reggaetón with Euro dance music signals what looks like a multiformat smash. At the core is an acoustic guitar and a sizzling rhythm, with hot horns in the form of a sample that just keeps on giving: Chicago's "Street Player," which appeared in the '90s techno hit "The Bomb" by the Bucketheads. Mainstream radio missed out on Pitbull's previous single "Krazy," featuring Lil Jon, but "Calle Ocho" is already on the top half of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and the temperature on the street and in the clubs is rising".<ref>{{cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_display/magazine/reviews/singles/e3i6011385516f3bdfb2f5fb89f9a144dcb?imw=Y|title=SINGLES REVIEWS - I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard.com]]|author=Michael Menachem|date=4 April 2009|access-date=2009-05-30}}</ref>}}

Fraser McAlpine of the [[BBC]] also favored it. He said it was meant to be sexy given how Pitbull performed the verses, but is fun and 'more gigglesome than wrigglesome', and wondered if its effect would vary between listeners of different genders: {{quote|1="I don't know if it has a different effect on The Ladies, but I'm basically fine with a pumped up dance version of a very familiar piece of music, with a funny man on the top shouting about how aroused he is and occasionally counting on his fingers."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chartblog/2009/07/pitbull_i_know_you_want_me_cal.shtml|title=BBC - Chart Blog: Pitbull - 'I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)'|publisher=BBC|author=Fraser McAlpine|date=21 July 2009|access-date=2009-07-29}}</ref>}}

"I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" is a song by American rapper and singer Pitbull released as the second single from his fourth album, Pitbull Starring in Rebelution. The song samples "75, Brazil Street" by Nicola Fasano and Pat Rich, which itself samples the opening horns riff from "Street Player" by Chicago. The core is from a song by Dominican rappers El Cata and Omega.[3] The title is a reference to Calle Ocho, a street in Miami's Little Havana neighborhood.

The song premiered on the Miami radio station WPOW. It has also been featured in Dance Central, the Xbox 360 Kinect-based dancing game, Dance Dance Revolution X2 for PlayStation 2, the PlayStation 3 PlayStation Move-based dancing game SingStar Dance, and in the pilot of Suburgatory.[4] It received a nomination a Latin Rhythm Airplay Song of the Year at the 2010 Latin Billboard Music Awards.[5]

"I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" is an uptempo syncopated hip hop groove with clear vocals on the chorus and a pop hook, within a tribal house-oriented beat. The song is set in common time with a moderate tempo of 127 beats per minute and is written in the key of D minor. Pitbull's vocal range spans from C4 to Bb4. The song is a vocal mix of "75, Brazil Street" by Nicola Fasano Vs Pat-Rich, which itself samples "Street Player" by Chicago.

Critical reception

The song received mixed reviews with Billboard.com editor Michael Menachem giving the single a favorable review:

"Pitbull delivers some Little Havana to the club scene with "I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)." The clever meshing of reggaetón with Euro dance music signals what looks like a multiformat smash. At the core is an acoustic guitar and a sizzling rhythm, with hot horns in the form of a sample that just keeps on giving: Chicago's "Street Player," which appeared in the '90s techno hit "The Bomb" by the Bucketheads. Mainstream radio missed out on Pitbull's previous single "Krazy," featuring Lil Jon, but "Calle Ocho" is already on the top half of the Billboard Hot 100, and the temperature on the street and in the clubs is rising".[6]

Fraser McAlpine of the BBC also favored it. He said it was meant to be sexy given how Pitbull performed the verses, but is fun and 'more gigglesome than wrigglesome', and wondered if its effect would vary between listeners of different genders:

"I don't know if it has a different effect on The Ladies, but I'm basically fine with a pumped up dance version of a very familiar piece of music, with a funny man on the top shouting about how aroused he is and occasionally counting on his fingers."[7]

Chart performance

"I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" is Pitbull's first single to become an international hit. The single peaked at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 for one week, on the week of June 20, 2009. The song was Pitbull's highest-peaking single until "Give Me Everything" hit number one; it also became his third top-ten hit. The song also reached number one on the French Singles Chart and number four on the US Mainstream Top 40 radio. On November 11, 2009, the single was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales of over two million digital copies.[8] As of June 2011, the song has sold 3.2 million digital copies in the United States.[9]

In the United Kingdom, the single debuted at number 53 then raising to number 28 the following week; in the third week it reached number 13 and in the fourth week, it reached number nine giving Pitbull his first top-ten single in the UK.

Music video

The music video was first released to YouTube on March 9, 2009 by Ultra Music and was directed by David Rousseau and produced by Alexandra Sdoucos. It features Pitbull, Nayer (wearing a peaked cap), and models Sagia Castañeda, Maria Milian, and Angelica Casañas. It has received over 286 million views[11] even though this particular upload is not available for worldwide viewership due to licensing restrictions in certain countries.

"I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" was the number one most viewed music video on YouTube in 2009. The video received 82 million views, easily beating out the second and third most viewed videos both by Disney star Miley Cyrus, "The Climb" (64 million views) and "Party in the U.S.A." (54 million views).[12]

The official music video version (without Ultra Music identifiers) was released onto Pitbull's official Vevo channel on May 25, 2011. It received over 3 million views[13] even though this particular upload was not available for worldwide viewership, again due to licensing restrictions in certain countries. The video has since been removed from YouTube.
