"Papi Te Quiero" (English: Daddy I Love You) is a song by Puerto Rican reggaetón recording artist Ivy Queen, from the platinum edition of her third studio album, Diva (2003).

In 1999, following the failed commercial success of her first two studio albums (1997's En Mi Imperio and 1998's The Original Rude Girl), Ivy Queen was dropped from the Sony label, taking a self-imposed break from her musical career.

In 2003, Queen and her then-husband Gran Omar signed with Real Music, an independent label based in Miami, Florida, established by Jorge Guadalupe and Anthony Pérez.

"[10] Ramiro Burr of Billboard stated "Papi Te Quiero" shows "how effortlessly and quickly she alternately sings and raps" while claiming that she has a "distinct vocal style that evokes Gwen Stefani".

[12] According to a study of over 290 radio stations located in the United States and Mexico, "Papi Te Quiero" was the tenth most played tropical song of 2004.
