"Quitarte To'" is Tego Calderón's second single for his album El Abayarde Contraataca. It had a lot of airplay for more than a month. The song features Randy Ortiz of Jowell & Randy and has an unofficial reggaeton remix with the dembow and other reggaeton features added. "Quitarte To'" was a major reggaeton hit, and had significant airplay.

Background

"Quitarte To'" was a major reggaeton hit, and had a lot of airplay throughout the United States, Latin America, and Europe. It was heard for a longer time than the previous single from the album, "Tradicional A Lo Bravo". It has the same style as most reggaeton songs at its time. It is still heard throughout the radio, and reached #2 on the Latin charts.

Remix

Two remixes of the song were made, which are both with the same artists, Tego Calderón and Randy. The remixes are the following:

  • A Reggaeton mix was made which is the beat and instrumentals, with an additional dembow and other reggaeton sounds.
  • Another remix appears on one of Tego's mixtapes titled Gongoli (The Mixtape). It has the same vocals, but with a different beat, and the chorus is heard an additional time.

Music video

Like all other singles on El Abayarde Contraataca, "Quitarte To'" has a music video. The video was not played anywhere near as much as the song was heard. It was the least watched video on the album, but was watched a lot throughout the internet. The video premiered on Mun2.
