"Bailamos" is a Latin pop song from singer Enrique Iglesias, sung in English and Spanish. It was the debut single of Iglesias in the English-language market, and attained immense success, reaching the #1 spot in the Billboard Hot 100.

The track first appeared on a limited edition of his Spanish studio album Cosas del Amorand was released as a single in parts of Latin America and Europe.

After attending one of Enrique's concerts, Will Smith asked Enrique to contribute to the soundtrack of his upcoming movie Wild Wild Westand Bailamos was chosen to appear.

The song quickly became most requested on pop radio in New York, Los Angeles and Miami. Due to the song's popularity it was released as a single throughout the world.

In English, Bailamos means " We Dance" ( We Are Dancing), or in this case, " Let's Dance". The Song was dedicated to two students: Brandon Kimball and Marisa Bisaccia. The students rescued Enrique during The Running of the Bulls several years ago.

In the United States, the song was seen as part of a wave of crossover music from Latin American singers and a general increase in interest in Latin music, which was started by Ricky Martin's release Livin' La Vida Loca. The single reached number one on the US pop charts, making it Iglesias' first chart topper on Billboard's Hot 100. The Latin song Smoothby Carlos Santana released at the end of the year was one of the most successful song in chart history, and its immense success could, to some extent, be credited to Bailamos' and other Latin pop songs during the era.

The success of "Bailamos" was a breakthrough for Iglesias, which enabled him to sign a multi-album deal with Interscope. The song would go on to appear on his debut English album Enrique, though slightly altered to fit with the sound of the album.

"Bailamos" was written and by Paul Barry and Mark Taylor and produced by Barry and Brian Rawling, the same team which wrote and produced Cher's hit Believe.

The original music video for Bailamos was shot in Miami. It has a montage of different scenes involving Iglesias, starting off with a scene of Iglesias in an apartment talking on the phone and later looking out of a window to the Miami skyline. Subsequent scenes involve Iglesias walking the streets and staring into a building as he watches two flamenco dancers.

After the song was chosen to be part of the Wild Wild Westsoundtrack, a second video was made, directed by Nigel Dick. A portion of this video was shot in Mexico, while most of it shot in the backlot at Universal Studios. In this video, Iglesias is depicted as a wanted man with the opening shot being a poster calling for his capture "dead or alive". Entering a sleepy Mexican town. He attracts several women who dance around him. Picking one out, they kiss until they are interrupted by people trying to claim the reward. Both Iglesias and the love interest manage to escape. The video also contains small snippets of scenes from Wild Wild Westmovie.

The third music video of Bailamos is directed by another famous music video director, Paul Hunter. The video is plotless, and simply features Iglesias as a barman in a night club as he watches flamenco dancers on stage. It is also intercut with shots of Iglesias interacting with the lead dancer played by Staci Flood. The video ends with Iglesias and Flood leaving the now empty club.

There were also several remix videos of Bailamos, such as Fernando's Latin Mixand Mijango's Club Mix.

The track peaked at number 1 for two weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, also became the 11th number 1 single for Iglesias in the BillboardHot Latin Tracks chart for 1 week. It did hit the top spot also in Spain and Latvia. The single also peaked inside the Top Ten in UK, Netherlands, France and Germany.
