Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)
2007 single by Enrique Iglesias
"Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song)" is a song by Spanish singer Enrique Iglesias. It was released in 2007 as the first single from his eighth studio album, Insomniac and takes the latter part of its English name from the sound of a ping pong ball bouncing that is employed as a percussion track throughout the song. The song's Spanish version is entitled "Dímelo" and was released to Latin radio, becoming Iglesias' 17th number one song on the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs.
Lyrics and music
Iglesias generally refers to the song as simply "Do You Know?", as it was his record label's insistence to add on "The Ping Pong Song" in parentheses (for the obvious sound of a ping pong ball bouncing to start the song and set the beat) to make it more distinctive and marketable.
The instrumental backing tracks are based on sampled loops from the production company Bunker 8 Digital Labs. These samples include all of the original tracks in "Otiga Verde" from the sample library. The opening piano, guitar chord riffs, and lead sound synthesizer which is heard throughout the song are directly lifted from the individual sample loops.
Reception
Iglesias premiered the song on Ryan Seacrest's radio show on KIIS-FM on Tuesday, 10 April 2007. The song was officially shipped to radio stations and, a week later, reached number 2 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.
