Background
"Hasta el Amanecer" was released on January 15, 2016 on U.S. radios. Billboard called the song a "sultry, sexy reggaetón track" that contains the singer's "trademark catchy melodic hooks. Still a hopeless romantic, here Jam pines after a girl he met at the laundromat, and let go, without even finding out her name." The music video was viewed over 53 million times on YouTube after three weeks, for which Billboard's Suzette Fernandez predicted that Jam will have a prosperous award season in 2017.
Chart performance
"Hasta el Amanecer" peaked at number one on the Hot Latin Songs chart on the issue dated March 9, 2016. The song displaced Colombian reggaeton singer J Balvin's 22-week record "Ginza" from the top of the chart. "Hasta el Amanecer" became the second song by Jam to peak at number one following "El Perdón" with Spanish pop singer Enrique Iglesias in 2015. The song also took Digital Gainer on the Hot Latin Songs chart for selling 3,000 digital downloads as well as a 7% spike in streams across U.S. radios with 1.7 million audience impressions. With this, the song also peaked at number one on the Latin Airplay chart, his third single topper.
As of March 2017, the song's music video has over 1.02 billion views on YouTube, taking it into the top fifty most viewed YouTube videos.
