It includes the viral hit "Soy Yo", which features child star Sarai Gonzalez and has received over 100 million views on YouTube.[4] The song and video were called a "celebration of self and a symbol of proud Latinidad" and "an ode to brown girls".[4] Lead singer Li Saumet half sings and half raps the lyrics of the repeated refrain "when they criticise you, you just say 'I am me'" (translated from Spanish) which is an obvious reference to the importance of self-confidence and pride in one’s identity.[5]
