"Baila Conmigo" (transl. "Dance with Me") is a song by American singer Selena Gomez and Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro for Gomez's fourth extended play Revelación (2021). It was written by Jorge A. Diaz, Édgar Barrera, Alejandro Borrero, Gomez, Abner Cordero Boria, Tainy, Ivanni Rodríguez, Alberto Carlos Melendez, Elena Rose, Alejandro, and Christopher Carballo Ramos, while the production was handled by NEON16, Jota Rosa, Albert Hype, and Tainy. The song was released for digital download and streaming by Interscope Records on January 29, 2021, as the second single from the EP. A Spanish language slow-wind reggaeton song with bouncy midtempo drum rhythms, it is about dance and desire, despite there being a language barrier between the singers. The track received widely positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its danceable and catchy rhythm and the singers' vocals.
"Baila Conmigo" won the award for Music-Ship of the Year at the 2021 MTV Millennial Awards and was nominated for Collaboration of the Year – Pop at the 2022 Lo Nuestro Awards. The song was commercially successful, reaching number one in seven countries, including Argentina and Venezuela, as well as the top five in several other countries such as Bolivia and Costa Rica, and on Billboard's Hot Latin Songs in the United States. It also reached the summit of the Latin Airplay, Latin Pop Airplay, and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts, and became Alejandro's first entry on the Billboard Hot 100. The song has received several certifications, including double platinum in Spain. An accompanying music video, released simultaneously with the song, was directed by Fernando Nogari.
