"Adán y Eva" is a song by Argentine rapper Paulo Londra. Released by Warner Latina and Big Ligas on 5 November 2018, it was written by Londra, Cristian Salazar and Ovy on the Drums, who also produced the song. The song title makes reference to the Abrahamic characters, Adam and Eve. With "Adán y Eva", Londra became the first and only artist to top the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart on two occasions, the first time with "Cuando Te Besé" in October, 2018.[1] The song also reached number one in Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Spain and Uruguay.

Background

[edit]

In a podcast interview with Argentine journalist Juan Pablo Varsky, Londra revealed that he had originally planned to release another song after "Cuando Te Besé", his collaboration with Becky G, however, after showing "Adán y Eva" to his grandmother, who liked it very much, he decided to contact his producer to tell her that they should move up the release of the single.[2] Finally, the song was released on November 5, 2018.[3]
