Argentine singer Cazzu has just reached a remarkable milestone in her career. The music video for her hit Con otra has officially become the most-viewed video by a solo female artist in 2025, amassing over 170.1 million views on YouTube and claiming the number one global position. With this achievement, she surpassed Lady Gaga’s Abracadabra, which previously held the top spot with 170 million views.
Cazzu is experiencing unprecedented success. The trap queen turned cumbia powerhouse took to social media this week to thank her fans, celebrating a history-making achievement that reaffirms her place at the forefront of the Latin American music scene.
Instead of sharing only stats and polished headlines, she offered something more personal — a raw and heartfelt message that reminded fans of the emotional journey behind the success.

Cazzu, known for carving her path in the Latin music world, shared that "Con Otra" wasn't just another single. She wrote, produced, and envisioned everything, from the music to the story behind the visuals. It's a rare feat in an industry dominated by big teams and rigid formulas. Yet, there she is, breaking molds and setting records.
"It feels like a dream—having a song completely made by me, from beginning to end, and pairing it with a story I also wrote for you, inspired by my own life," she wrote.
The video, described as a mini-movie, brings together artists and collaborators she considers family. It's an independent triumph born from passion, community, and love.

From Homemade Videos to Global Screens
In her emotional post, Cazzu reflects on her teenage self, when she was 16 in the northern province of Jujuy, far from the global music hubs. She reminisces about her initial involvement in a cumbia band, the self-made videos, and the aspirations that appeared unattainable. "So many dreams with everything stacked against me, so far from the big city," she wrote.
That distance didn't stop her. Neither did the pressure to follow market trends or "go viral." Instead, she trusted her instincts. She pursued her passion for music, defying the conventions of the industry.

For Cazzu, this win is personal. Creating art in South America, she explains, often means hustling with heart. Budgets are tight, decisions are risky, and support isn't guaranteed. But this time, everyone showed up. "Even now, I find myself triple-checking the video budget, calculating whether it's worth it, if it's too much, if I'll recover the investment," she confessed.

The success was evident not only in the number of views but also in the genuine emotional connection established with the audience. Her love letter closes with a tribute to her home provinces, Jujuy and Tucumán, which she credits for shaping her spirit and sound. The post is full of affection, groundedness, and clarity about where she comes from and where she's going.
One Last Magical Touch: Her Baby's Favorite Song
Naturally, Cazzu couldn't resist sharing a heartwarming family detail with her fans. Her daughter, with fellow singer Christian Nodal, has already picked a favorite song. According to the star, Inti loves "Abracadabra" by Lady Gaga. The North American singer is one of Cazzu's favorite musicians and the one she dethroned as the most listened to on YouTube. "She asks for the 'uh lala uh lala' to play—and we all, her aunts included, get up to dance with her. That's our happy place," she said.

By trusting her vision, embracing her roots, and creating without compromise, she's proving that real stories resonate, and when they do, they can move millions.
She ends with a message that's both a thank-you and a reminder. "Thank you for making this song—and my music—feel big."
She admits to being a Lady Gaga fan

“As everything in my life tends to be poetic, so is the fact that at home we are all ‘Little Monsters’ (Lady Gaga fans), and Abracadabra is actually my baby’s favorite song,” she revealed. “She asks for the ‘uh lala uh lala’ song, and we all get up, her aunts and I, to dance with her and simply be happy.”
