Background

Don Omar met Natti Natasha in 2010, when she was recording a song with fellow New York producer Link-On. Don Omar liked her voice and asked her to go back to the studio and congratulate her for her work. As Natasha said, "from the first time he saw me, he told me I'll become a star. It's surreal and I still don't fall in time."

Composition

"Dutty Love" is a mid-tempo reggaeton and pop song with tropical music influences, running at 90 beats per minute. It has core similarities with previous Don Omar single, "Taboo", which also has tropical and Caribbean-influenced beats, but runs at a higher BPM rate.
