"Vamos a Marte" (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈba.mos aˈmaɾ.te]; transl. "Let's Go to Mars") is a song by German singer Helene Fischer featuring Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi. It was released on 6 August 2021, as the lead single from her upcoming ninth studio album. The track was written by Fischer and Fonsi, as well as German singer-songwriters Nico Santos and Chris Cronauer, among others, while production was handled by Beatzarre, Djorkaeff, B-Case and Fischer.

Background[]

Fischer and Fonsi had previously performed together at the Echo Music Prize in 2018.[1] Fischer released the song after having taken a one-year hiatus from the public.[2] She announced the single on her social media on 23 July 2021.[3] The song was released as a celebration of Fischer's 37th birthday on 4 August.[4] About the song, the singer revealed in a clip that she had been waiting a long time to release the song and that there could be no better birthday gift.[5] Fonsi expressed that he felt honoured to have recorded the song with Fischer and that he had never recorded a song in German and Spanish before.[6]

Composition[]

A pop song with notable electronic, Latin and Schlager elements, Fischer and Fonsi take turns at singing in German and Spanish.[7][8][6] Lyrically, the song sees the singers trading lines about not having to speak the same language in order to understand each other.[2]

Music video[]

The music video was released on 6 August 2021. It shows Fischer performing at a space station, while Fonsi is seen partying at a bar. Throughout the video, Fischer is seen dancing in alternating outfits, including a glitter crop top and leather leggins.[9] The video accumulated more than 500,000 views on YouTube in its first 24 hours.[10]
