Dance Like This Ft. Claudette Ortiz
Wyclef Jean · Other Songs - Wyclef Jean
I ain't come to fight tonight
Too many ladies up in here tonight
(Everybody report to the dance floor please! Grab a girl!)
[Wyclef:]
I never really knew that you could dance like this
She makes her man wanna speak spanish
Como se llama, Bonita? Mi casa, Su casa
[Claudette:]
The way you move, you've got me hypnotized
Especially when I look into his eyes
Hey Papi, I wanna see you do the dance to the conga
[Wyclef:]
Hey girl, I can see your body movin' and it's driving me crazy
And I did not the slightest idea until I saw you dancin'
The way you walk up on the dance floor
Nobody could ignore the way you move your body, girl
And everything so unexpected the way you right and left it
So you could keep on digging it
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día (x2)
[Chorus]
[Claudette:]
Hey boy, now that I see all your rhythm
I'm in a state of shock now
The way I can see your body movin'
And I don't want you to stop now
I like the way you approach me so sensually
You got me in a daze, boy
I can't ignore the way you're dancin'
You got me in a trance and I can't explain it
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día(x2)
[Chorus]
[Wyclef:]
Senorita, feel the conga
Let me see you move like you come from Havana
[Claudette:]
Ohhh, I didn't know you did it like that
Hey, you Papi, don't you stop it
I wanna see you move your body
Ohhh, I didn't know you did it like that
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día (x2)
[Chorus]
Baila en la calle de noche
Baila en la calle de día (x2)
[Chorus x2]
Dance Like This Ft. Claudette Ortiz
Wyclef Jean's 'Dance Like This' features Claudette Ortiz and stands as a vibrant example of his fusion of Haitian Creole rhythms with international hip-hop sensibilities. Released during a period where Jean was actively bridging Caribbean musical traditions with global pop culture, the track exemplifies his signature ability to blend dancehall energy with melodic hooks. The collaboration highlights Ortiz's vocal presence within Jean's broader catalog of socially conscious yet rhythmically driven works. As part of his extensive discography, the recording reflects the genre-defining nature of his output, which consistently challenges boundaries between Caribbean and American music scenes while maintaining a distinct cultural identity.
