"Bon, Bon" is a song by Cuban-American rapper Pitbull from his fifth studio album, Armando. It was released as the album's third official single on August 27, 2010. It heavily samples the song "We No Speak Americano" by Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP, which itself samples the 1956 Italian song "Tu vuò fà l'americano" by Renato Carosone, a hit earlier in the year, but it was later known that the version of "We No Speak Americano" used was a bootleg remix done by DJ Alvaro. Pitbull later gave credit to Alvaro and promised that they were looking forward to making more songs together. The single peaked at number 61 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number three on the US Top Latin Songs.

Music video

The official music video was released onto Pitbull's official Vevo channel on March 22, 2011.
