"I Know You Want Me"
Song

"I Know You Want Me (Calle Ocho)" is a song by rapper Pitbull released as the second single from his upcoming album, Rebelution. The song is a remix of "75, Brazil Street" by Nicola Fasano Vs Pat Rich, which itself samples "Street Player" by Chicago. The title is a reference to the Miami street Calle Ocho. The song is track #4 on the compilation album, Now! 31.

Reception

Billboard.com editor Michael Menachem gives the single a favorable review, saying:

"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."[1]

Music Video

The official music video was released on March 9, 2009 from Ultra Records on YouTube and to date the video has received over 17,000,000 views[2] and is the 6th most viewed "electronic" music video of all time.[3]

Chart Performance

The single has so far peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S, making it Pitbull's most successful single to date and his first top 10 hit. It has also reached number #2 on the iTunes Store.
