AllMusic[1]

Libertad 548 failed to enter any major chart in any territory. It debuted at number 12 on US Billboard Top Latin Albums and number 11 on the Latin Rhythm Albums chart selling a little over 3,000 album equivalent units in its first week.[3]

Singles

edit

As the album's lead single, "No Lo Trates" with Daddy Yankee and Natti Natasha became RIAA Latin certified 6× platinum (360,000+ sales).

The album's second single "3 to Tango" went viral for John Travolta's surprise guest appearance in the song's official music video.[4][5]

The album's third single "Me Quedaré Contigo" (with Ne-Yo featuring Lenier and El Micha) was premiered at the 2019 Latin American Music Awards, peaking at #1 on the Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay Billboard charts in the United States.[6]

The album's fourth single "Get Ready" featuring Blake Shelton, which was premiered live by Pitbull at the Super Bowl LIV Tailgate Tropicale pre-game show, was later added to the "Dale Más" advertising campaign for a series of pre-game Super Bowl commercials for Super Bowl LIV, and a remixed version of the single serves as the official theme song for the 2020 NASCAR Cup Series.[7]

The album's fifth single, "Mueve La Cintura" featuring Tito El Bambino and Guru Randhawa was released on June 8, 2020. An accompanying music video, which was filmed in 2019 and directed by David Rousseau, was also premiered on that same date.[8]

The album's sixth single, "Se La Vi" featuring IAmChino and Papayo, was released on November 27, 2020 (Black Friday). An accompanying music video, which was directed by David Rousseau, was also released on that same date. The release of this single from Libertad 548 gives the album the most singles out of any of the ten previous studio albums by Pitbull.[9]

The album's seventh single, "Winning" featuring Yomil y El Dany, is a part of the Boost Mobile "Dale Más" advertising campaign.[10] The official lyric video was released on December 4, 2020, on Pitbull's official YouTube channel.

The album's eighth single, "Tell Me Again" featuring Prince Royce and Ludacris, was released as a single on December 18, 2020. Accompanying the release was the official music video, directed by Gil Green in 2018. The music video primarily used excerpts from the "Quiero Saber" music video, but colorized and with additional scenes. "Tell Me Again" became the fifth single from Libertad 548 in 2020 alone, and the sixth single following the album's release in September 2019.[11]

The album's ninth single, "Cantare" featuring Lenier, was released as a single on January 4, 2021. The song was Pitbull's first single of 2021, and was the first of the two album bonus tracks to be released as a single. The official music video, which was filmed in 2020, was released on Pitbull's official YouTube channel on that same date.[12]

The album's first and only promotional single, "Cinco de Mayo" with Lil Jon featuring Chesca, was released on May 5, 2020 (Cinco de Mayo).
