Wikipedia article
"'Sangria Wine'" is a song by American singers Pharrell Williams and Camila Cabello, released as a single on May 18, 2018. It was written and produced by the two performers with additional songwriting from Bia.
Background
Pharrell Williams previously co-wrote and provided background vocals for Camila Cabello's "Havana". "Sangria Wine" was originally recorded for Cabello's debut studio album 'Camila', but did not make the final tracklist. The song, however, is featured on her Never Be the Same Tour setlist. Williams joined Cabello on stage at the Los Angeles concert to perform the then-unreleased track. On May 16, 2018, both artists teased the release of the studio version on their social media pages, posting Polaroid photos of each other with the hashtag "#sangriawine."
Composition
"Sangria Wine" is a salsa-influenced pop song, which also comprises elements of reggae. Cabello sings in English and Spanish on the track. The pre-chorus of the song features lines in Spanish. The chorus sees Williams and Cabello's vocals coming together to sing the title phrase. Lyrically, the track sees the two performers in a "playful" back and forth, with him praising her dance moves and drawing comparisons between them and the beverage. Williams describes the titular dance move in the song's hook.
Live performances
On May 20, 2018, Williams and Cabello gave the first televised performance of the song at the 2018 'Billboard' Music Awards.
