Written by the two singers with Evan Bogart, Erika Nuri and David Quiñones and producer RedOne, "Dirty Dancer" is a dance-pop song.

[6] "Dirty Dancer" was included on Iglesias' sixth studio album, Euphoria, and Usher's EP Versus.

He is the only male artist in the chart's history to achieve this milestone, beating previous record-holder Michael Jackson.

Enrique Iglesias first premiered "Dirty Dancer" live as part of a medley with "I Like It" that he performed on the tenth season of American Idol on 12 May 2011.

[4] For the performance, he wore blue jeans and a black leather jacket, which featured Usher and Lil Wayne appearing on video screens behind backing vocalists and a band.

[19] The music video for "Dirty Dancer" was directed by Yasha Malekzad,[20] Jeff Dotson & Ethan Lader[21] and premiered on 22 June 2011.

[22] It opens by showing a city during the night, and Iglesias making his way to a futuristic strip club, who then watches a holographic pole dancer performing a gymnastic routine while wearing a black latex outfit.

[23] Iglesias is shown in similar scenes, and at one point lowers his jacket to expose his blue luminous heart.

[24] Wayne begins his verse while being projected onto a building, while other shots show him in a dark room, similar to those of Usher.

[23] The dancer whom Iglesias watches leans in to kiss him but is replaced by a holographic message reading "credit expired".
