"Darte un Beso" (transl. "Give You a Kiss") is a 2013 bachata song by American singer Prince Royce. The single became an international hit for Prince Royce in the United States, Latin America and Spain. At the Latin Grammy Awards of 2014, the song received three nominations including Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Tropical Song.[1] It is also recognized as one of Prince Royce's signature songs. A 2014 Portuguese-language sertanejo version was made as "Te Dar um Beijo" with Brazilian musician Michel Teló featuring Prince Royce becoming a hit in its own right in Brazil.
The music video was released late August 2013. In a beach, Royce falls in love for a young woman and sings to her about how he feels. The video ends with the woman turning out to be a mermaid. The song reached number one on multiple Billboard Latin music charts. As of August 2024, the video has received over 1.4 billion views on YouTube.[2]
In 2014, Royce and Brazilian musician Michel Teló recorded a Portuguese-language version in sertanejo under the title "Te Dar Um Beijo".
For marketing purposes outside Brazil, this Portuguese language version was launched initially as Prince Royce featuring Michel Teló on April 24, 2014, and for promotion within Brazil as Teló featuring Royce on May 19, 2014.
In a report in Billboard, the collaboration came together when Telo reached out to Royce's camp because he wanted to record "Darte un Beso" in Portuguese. Royce said: "They sent me a rough demo and I said, 'why don't we just do it together?'".
