## Baby Rasta on Me Niegas
Baby Rasta explained that their song 'Me Niegas' became a hit for the first time in the digital space and now attracts older fans.

> Whenever we work on a track, we’re looking for that signature sound, something that resonates across generations from the moment it starts playing. This song means everything to us; it was the song where we first saw truly massive numbers in the digital space. The people who listened to it at home back then were just kids; now, they’re old enough to go to clubs, and they’re the ones buying tickets to our shows.
## Ryan Castro on Jordan
Ryan Castro described how his song 'Jordan' became a hit despite career struggles and lack of promotion.

At that time, things weren’t going well in my career, and I felt frustrated because nobody was investing in my career, and I didn’t have the resources, we didn’t put any effort into promoting that song, yet it became a hit. I realized that I can’t be frustrated, because when you connect with people, you just connect, that’s all there is to it. Many people came to recognize me because of that song.
## Gringo on Mañana Sin Ti
Gringo explained that they changed their lyrics to be more romantic to achieve popularity after their song 'Mañana Sin Ti' became significant.
