"Punto 40" (transl. "Point 40") is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singers Rauw Alejandro and Baby Rasta for Alejandro’s third studio album, Saturno (2022). It was written by Alejandro and DJ Playero, while the production was handled by Alejandro, Kenobi, Mr. NaisGai, and DJ Playero. The song was released for digital download and streaming by Sony Music Latin and Duars Entertainment on September 22, 2022, as the second single from the album. A Spanish language reggaeton rave song, with an electronic twist, it is a remake of the classic reggaeton song "Tengo Una Punto 40" by Baby Rasta & Gringo. The song is about a man who has a .40 gun and wants to use it on his woman. The track received widely positive reviews from music critics, who complimented Alejandro's ability to "redefine the sounds" of reggaeton.
"Punto 40" was nominated for Best Collaboration – Pop/Urban at the 8th Annual Latin American Music Awards. The song was commercially successful, reaching number one in Central America, Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua, as well as the top five in several countries, such as Colombia and Spain, and on Billboard's Latin Airplay in the United States. The song has received several certifications, including 14× platinum (Latin) in the US. An accompanying futuristic music video, titled "Punto 40 Año 2077" was released on September 24, 2022, and was directed by Jora Frantzis. It shows Alejandro soaring through the cosmos and Baby Rasta serving as his wingman. The visual was nominated for Video of the Year at the 2023 Premios Tu Música Urbano. To promote the song, Alejandro performed it at the 23rd Annual Latin Grammy Awards.
