If you love Latin pop music, you definitely know Danna Paola. Starting out as a sweet child actress in Mexico, she has grown into a fierce, independent global superstar now known mononymously as DANNA. She can sing, act, and dance like nobody else.

Today is Tuesday, June 23, 2026, which means the multi-talented singer is officially turning 31 years old! With her recent 2026 music like the LUCID DREAMS EP showing off her cool, electronic style, she is at the absolute peak of her career. To celebrate her big day, we chose her 5 best and most iconic songs that you need to add to your playlist right now.

5. “Mundo de Caramelo” (2009)

Long before she was selling out stadiums as a pop diva, she was the star of the hit telenovela Atrévete a Soñar. This song was the main track for the show, and it became a massive anthem for a whole generation of kids in Latin America. It is a sweet, happy pop song about dreaming of a perfect world made of candy. Even today, fans scream every word whenever she plays it live for nostalgia!

4. “Sodio” (2020)

This song proved that DANNA is a truly smart pop artist. “Sodio” tells a dramatic story about a girl who realizes the boy she loves is actually in love with another man. Instead of being angry, the song is full of support and sweet synth-pop beats. The music video, where she plays a beautiful mermaid on a beach, became a huge hit and cemented her as a major icon for her LGBTQ+ fans.

3. “Oye Pablo” (2019)

Based on a hilarious true story, this song is pure pop perfection. DANNA wrote it after a cute guy named Pablo stopped her in the streets of Madrid to ask for her number, but she accidentally gave him the wrong digits! The song is a fun, fast-paced search for the mystery man. It features a super catchy chorus and a music video starring her famous friends from the Netflix show Elite.

2. “XT4S1S” (2022)

If you want to know the exact moment she stopped being a safe, traditional pop star and became an edgy artist, it is this song. “XT4S1S” moved away from regular radio pop and introduced a heavy, hypnotic electronic dance beat. She produced and wrote the track herself in her living room, proving to the entire music industry that she has total control over her new, mature sound.

1. “Mala Fama” (2019)

There was no other choice for the number-one spot. This is the track that officially made her a global pop queen. Tired of the media constantly making up fake rumors about her dating life, DANNA decided to write a sassy, upbeat anthem to laugh it off.

The song is incredibly catchy, full of confidence, and has hundreds of millions of views online. It is the ultimate feel-good song about loving yourself, hanging out with your friends, and not caring what the haters say.
