If you’ve found that you can’t help but tap your toe or spin yourself around when you hear [Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s endlessly catchy “Despacito,”](http://time.com/4850885/daddy-yankee-spotify-number-one/) take comfort in knowing that you’re not alone — this young girl has gone viral because she just can’t help dancing every time she hears the song.

The track, which gained some major mainstream airtime with [a Justin Bieber remix](http://time.com/4816510/justin-bieber-water-bottle-despacito/), is [a strong contender for the song of summer](http://time.com/4794885/song-of-the-summer-2017/) and it’s not hard to see why: it’s got an infectious beat that’s perfect for moving your feet to. For Niana Guerrero, one-half of an online sibling vlog with brother Ranz, she can’t help but “hit that Despacito” every time it plays.

A clip on Facebook of Niana “hitting that Despacito” everywhere from a grocery store aisle to in-between bites at a restaurant has gotten over 66 million views. You can watch it yourself below.
