Songfacts®:

  • 6ix9ine has a Mexican mother and a Puerto Rican father; this song finds the star rapping and singing entirely in Spanish. It is the third Latin cut the rapper has released, following the Dummy Boy tracks "Bebe" and "Mala," both of which feature Puerto Rican trap star Anuel AA.
  • A "yaya" is a bubbly girl who is pretty and outgoing. This party-ready track finds 6ix9ine paying tribute to a brunette lap dancer whose moves are turning him on.
  • During the intro the chorus, "Yaya" interpolates the Puerto Rican duo Héctor & Tito's reggaeton track "Baila Morena."
  • "Yaya" is 6ix9ine's third single since his release from prison in April 2020. As with the previous two - "Gooba" and Trollz" - the video was filmed at 6ix9ine's home while under house arrest during the COVID-19 lockdown. The clip sees the rapper dancing with several bikini-clad women - without much social distancing.
