Are you ready for another wave of the popular Spanish song “Despacito”?

Singaporean Mandopop singer JJ Lin announced the release of the Mandarin version of global hit “Despacito” via Facebook on Friday (26 Jan), along with the lyrics to the song.

Lin’s version of the original song by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Luis Fonsi has been given a Mandarin title, “Huan huan”, which means “slowly”.

For this new version, Lin sings mostly in Mandarin, while Fonsi performs the original Spanish lyrics.

“Despacito” went viral after popular American singer Justin Bieber released an English collaboration with Fonsi, and the song has also gone on to win Record of the Year and Song of the Year at the Latin Grammys.

Earlier in the week, Lin announced his new concert tour “Sanctuary” will begin in March.

How Volvo landed a cheap Chinese EV on U.S. shores in a trade war
A made-in-China electric vehicle will hit U.S. dealers this summer offering power and efficiency similar to the Tesla Model Y, the world's best-selling EV, but for about $8,000 less. The EX30 from Volvo Cars, the Swedish luxury brand owned by China's Geely , foreshadows the fierce competitive threat U.S. automakers could face from Chinese EV manufacturers that have surged far ahead of global rivals, especially on affordability.
