"Te Espero" is a song by American singer Prince Royce and Argentine singer María Becerra. The song was released on March 3, 2022.[1] The song samples Cutting Crew's "(I Just) Died in Your Arms" (1986).[2]
The single peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Tropical Airplay chart, marking Royce's 22nd number 1 and Becerra's first on the chart. In addition, the song reached the number 1 position on tropical music radio stations in the United States, Puerto Rico, Chile, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Colombia and Panama.[3]
The video clip was premiered on the same day as its audio release. It was directed by Julián Levy and its shooting took place in Buenos Aires for two days.[4] The concept of the video develops a love story supported by a sensual dance during a police investigation, where Royce appears with a bulletproof vest and armed to rescue María Becerra who finds himself in the middle of multiple shots and chases.[5]
