"Soy Libre" (English: I'm Free) is a song by the Puerto Rican reggaetón recording artist Ivy Queen, from her ninth studio, Vendetta (2015). It was composed by Queen with Nelson Díaz, Jorge Guadalupe and O'Nell Lopez, and produced by DJ Nelson and O'Nell Flow.
It was released as the lead single from the album on 9 December 2014, simultaneously with the other three singles "Vamos A Guerrear", "Nací Para Amarte" and "Vendetta" on the EP release Vendetta: First Round (2014).
The merengue "Soy Libre", appears as the first track on the album EP release, track six on the urban album EP release and track twenty-two on the studio album release. It was composed in major key tonality and contains lead vocals performed by Queen and group back-up vocals. It has simple harmonic progressions, a brass-horn ensemble, prominent percussion, synthesizers, techno synths and accordion or bandoneon playing. The track was extensively produced by DJ Nelson and O'Nell Flow.[1]
On the urban album EP release, David Jefferies selected "Soy Libre" along with "Sacude & Levantate", "Te Sirvo De Abrigo" and Naci Para Amarte" as the leading tracks, while naming "Vamos A Guerrear", "Vendetta", "Naci Para Amarte" and "Soy Libre" as the key tracks from the studio album release.[2] Manero magazine's review of the album complimented Queen's "tropical zest" and claimed "Soy Libre" to be "passable".[3]
