"Libertad" (English: Freedom) is a song by Puerto Rican recording artist Ivy Queen, from her fifth studio album, Flashback (2005). It was composed by Queen, produced by Rafi Mercenario, and released as the second out of three singles from the album via Airplay in 2005. It was later released as promotional single in 2006. It is one of four new tracks from the album produced by Mercenario, the most requested producer in reggaetón at the time. A promotional single was released in 2006 featuring two separate remixes, the instrumental of those remixes and the a cappella.
It is a reggaeton song taking influence from hip hop. Becoming a success in the Latin market, the song reached number thirteen on the Billboard Latin Songs chart, number twelve on the Billboard Tropical Airplay chart and number nine on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay chart. It was also included on Queen's first extended play (EP) entitled e5. Ivy Queen also performed the song as a part of the set of her 2008 World Tour which was held from the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum known as the Coliseum of Puerto Rico in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
