The expression yo ³Ù²¹³¾²ú¾±Ã©²Ô is made up of two words in Spanish. Yo is the first-person pronoun “I” or “me.” The adverb ³Ù²¹³¾²ú¾±Ã©²Ô (“also, too”) is a contraction of the words tan, meaning “as,” and ²ú¾±Ã©²Ô, meaning “good.” Yo ³Ù²¹³¾²ú¾±Ã©²Ô literally translates to “I also” in English.

The expression is very old in the Spanish language, appearing in printed works by the early 17th century, including the landmark work of literature, Don Quixote, written by Miguel de Cervantes between 1602–15.

Many English speakers became familiar with yo ³Ù²¹³¾²ú¾±Ã©²Ô in 2015, when Romeo Santos, an American singer in the ²ú²¹³¦³ó²¹³Ù²¹Ìýgenre, released a salsa single featuring Marc Antony called “Yo Tam²ú¾±Ã©²Ô.” In the song, two male lovers compete for the love of the same woman, each man repeating yo ³Ù²¹³¾²ú¾±Ã©²Ô as they insist upon how they loved and did everything for her. The single was nominated for multiple awards, including the Billboard Latin Music Award for Tropical Song of the Year.

In the wake of the #MeToo movement in 2017 to raise awareness about sexual harassment and assault, many Latin or Spanish women took to the Spanish-language equivalent of the influential hashtag: “#YoTambien.”
