"Peligro De Extinción" (English: Danger Of Extinction) is a Latin pop song by Puerto Rican reggaetón recording artist Ivy Queen, from her eighth studio album, Musa (2012).

It was composed by Queen, Francisco Saldaña, and Víctor Delgado, produced by Noriega alongside the help of Predikador and released as the lead single off the album on March 24, 2012.

After the success of her 2007 effort Sentimiento, which would be certified Platinum by the United States Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA),[1] a substantial live album was distributed by Machete in 2008.

[4] Ivy Queen was previously signed to a distribution deal with Univision Records, which in turn was acquired by Machete's parent company Universal Music Latin Entertainment in 2008.

[4] President of Universal Music Latino and Machete, Walter Kolm, commented in a press release "It's a privilege to have Ivy Queen a part of our artistic roster.

[7] The song is composed in major key tonality and features simple harmonic progressions, an acoustic guitar, accordion (or bandoneon) playing, prominent percussion and romantic lyrics according to the Music Genome Project.

On the review for the album, Rachel Devitt of Rhapsody commented, "See booming single "Peligro de Extinción," which seems pretty unlikely, especially when the Queen starts talking about Juliets taking over for Romeos if the boys can't handle it.

"[13] Judy Cantor-Navas of Google Play commented that "Peligro de Extinción" features the kind of rootsy accordion found on Michel Teló's worldwide sensation "Ai Se Eu Te Pego.

[16] Jonathan Bogart gave the song a 9 out of 10 stars and said "It took me a while to warm up to “Peligro de Extinción.” With that title, I'd been expecting a reggaetón rager excoriating the systems of oppression and erasure that threaten Puerto Ricans and Latinos everywhere.

And Edison Rey's sweet accordion skillfully threads between the twin romanticisms at the far ends of Latin America, tango and conjunto norteño.

It's perhaps the prettiest single Ivy Queen has ever released (or at least tied with “Dime”), largely letting the reggaetón beat alone in favor of lighter, more swaying cumbia and vallenato.

"[18] Edward Okulicz gave the single a 7 out of 10 stars and said "Well, you’ve got to love the sound of an accordion in its natural environment; Ivy Queen sings with a real, impressive sense of authority, nearly as regal as the name would imply.

The notes yearn because of how they fit the chord progression, imported from a million norteamericano pop songs; on top of it, Ms. Queen and her producers build an elaborate vocal structure of multitracked harmonies and shoutouts, even evoking Nelly-style rapstimme at the beginning.

Every element seems chosen to sound cool, which is a nice thing about inhabiting multiple musical worlds — you can avoid the tensions you'd find in a Junot Diaz book or, you know, real life.
