- The song “Mi Bebito Fiu Fiu” has become the viral phenomenon of the moment by accumulating millions of views on platforms.
- The composition arose from a scandal involving the former president of Peru Martín Vizcarra.
- Part of the song’s success lies in the fascination people have for poking fun at public figures.
Viral phenomena appeared with social networks, although in reality they are a continuation of something that has always existed. Now it is quite easy to make a person or event famous but only temporarily. The most recent case occurs with the song “Mi Bebito Fiu Fiu” and a psychologist focused on delving into the reason for his success.
The power of the media
In the first instance, in the past other media such as television or radio had this power. In their case, they focused on a specific fact and could change the perception of the population from one moment to another.
Now the same thing happens but with the internet and the social networks. Viral challenges are a trend that confirms the power of this medium, although it is not always used for positive purposes.
A clear example of how harmful viral challenges can be is “Blackout Challenge”. It consists of each person placing an object through their neck and tightening it enough to lose consciousness. It has even been seen that a person helps to obstruct the breathing of the person who accepts the challenge for a few minutes with his hands.
The goal is to cause the person to faint and then share their experience with others. But although it is quite obvious that it is a harmful and harmful activity, most of the people who accept this challenge are children. The problem is that it has already caused some deaths and now TikTok faces a lawsuit.
For its part, the most recent phenomenon of social networks is the song “Mi Bebito Fiu Fiu” and to understand its social impact was analyzed by a psychologist. The theme was created by the producer Tito Silva and is played by singer Tefi C.
If you’re adept at digital media, chances are you’ve already heard the piece. In a matter of days it has become the most popular topic of the moment and its fame seems to have no end.
Although behind the lyrics there is a curious story and it could be one of the main reasons for its success. The influence was news that happened in Peru and is now known throughout the world.
The beginning of everything was the disclosure of some WhatsApp messages between the former president of that Andean country, Martín Vizcarra, and Zully Pinchi, a former candidate for parliament. Between the two there was a hidden love relationship.
In the messages that are now known, it can be read that the woman calls the politician as “My Baby Fiu Fiu” as a compliment and from there a scandal was generated that at first was only national. While now the story is already known throughout the world.
Analysis from the psychological point of view
In this regard, a Colombian psychologist made a video in which he explains why the song has been so successful. At a general level, the population has a fascination for making fun of the figures that represent power because, in theory, they are untouchable.
This is why the political cartoon has persisted for so long without getting old. Similarly, the idealization of public figures generates feelings that range from admiration to envy. Although they are thought to have perfect lives, when a flaw is discovered, the taunts immediately begin.
All of the above about song “Mi Bebito Fiu Fiu” was analyzed by the psychologist and the result is a video that breaks down the impact that the musical composition has caused.
