"'Yaya'" (stylized in all caps) is a song by American rapper 6ix9ine. It was released on July 3, 2020, alongside a music video, as the third single from his second studio album, 'TattleTales', released on September 4, 2020. The song was written by 6ix9ine, Anuel AA, Anas Rahmoune, Edgar Semper, John Iyinbor, Kedin Maysonet, Luian Malave, Pablo Fuentes, and Xavier Semper and produced by Ramoon and Ransom Beatz. It interpolates the 2003 song "Baila Morena" by Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Hctor & Tito.
Background
6ix9ine first announced the song and its release date on June 27, 2020, in an Instagram Story. He confirmed the track's title in anInstagram video on June 29, with a bikini-clad woman giving him a lap dance and twerking in a studio. He previewed the song with him singing in Spanish and further called it his "best one so far". This marks the third time 6ix9ine, whose mother is Mexican and father is Puerto Rican, released a Spanish song, following the 'Dummy Boy' tracks "Bebe" and "Mala", both of which featured Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA.
On September 4, 2020, 6ix9ine announced in a 'Billboard' interview that Anuel AA was supposed to be in "Yaya" and they wrote the song together.
Music video
As with "Gooba" and "Trollz", the video for "Yaya" was filmed at 6ix9ine's home, in his living room, while he was under house arrest. The video was released along with the song.
Commercial performance
"Yaya" debuted at number 99 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, tying with "Gotti" as 6ix9ine's lowest charting single to date. It is a commercial failure in comparison to his previous single "Trollz", which peaked at number one, three weeks prior. The song peaked at number four on the 'Billboard' Hot Latin Songs chart.
In Europe, the song was moderately successful, peaking at number eight in Hungary, number 46 in Switzerland and number 87 in the UK, becoming one of the least successful songs of his career.
