EDM icon David Guetta released a new version of his hit single “Family” for the Latin American region with Sofia Reyes. Guetta and the Mexican superstar are joined by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. Reyes sings in English and contributes a new verse in Spanish.
Guetta released “Family” last week as a collaboration with Bebe Rexha, Ty Dolla $ign, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. In a new version of the song for Latin America, he teams up with Reyes and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. Guetta and Reyes previously collaborated on last year’s hit “Pa’ La Cultura” with Human(X). In “Family,” Guetta blends EDM, trap, and alternative music. Reyes sings about the importance of having close friends who are like family. She also translates the feel-good message into Spanish in a new verse on the song. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie adds a hip-hop edge to their global collaboration.
Reyes is currently nominated for Best Northern Latin American Artist at the MTV Europe Music Awards. This marks her fourth nomination in the category. She was previously nominated for Best Northern Latin American Artist in 2017, 2018, and 2020. The 2021 MTV Europe Awards will air live from Hungary on Nov. 14.
Reyes has released a string of hits this year. In September, she teamed up with Mexican-American singer Becky G for the girl power collaboration “Mal De Amores.” The music video has over 24 million views on YouTube. In June, she joined forces with Puerto Rican singer Pedro Capó for “Casualidad.” The music video has over 21 million views on YouTube and more than 23 million views on Facebook.
