"Rompe" (Break it in English) is a popular Spanish-language song by Daddy Yankee. The song held the #1 spot of Billboard Magazine's Hot Latin Tracks chart for over three months and reached a peak position of #24 on the Hot 100 chart of the same publication. Showcasing an evident trend among Latin songs having great cross-over appeal among the mainstream American market (since Shakira's "La Tortura" entered the Top 20 on the same chart).

A remix has been released that features G-Unit members Lloyd Banks and Young Buck, and also Nelly Furtado but Furtado's verse was removed from the video because Furtado couldn't make the videoshoot because she was hard at work on her third studio album Loose. It's also featured in the Activision video game, True Crime: New York City. It is used as the walk-up music of Atlanta Braves shortstop Edgar Renteria, Chicago Cubs left fielder Alfonso Soriano, Washington Nationals shortstop Felipe Lopez and catcher Bengie Molina, New York Mets first baseman Carlos Delgado, New York Mets shortstop Jose Reyes and Minnesota Twins second baseman Luis Castillo.
