44-Year-Old Song Gains New Popularity on Instagram

Julio Iglesias’s 1982 hit “Con La Misma Piedra” has regained popularity years later. The song has taken center stage in a Reels trend that has been spreading rapidly on Instagram, especially in recent weeks. As a result, this old song has resurfaced through new-generation content formats.

Used in tens of thousands of posts, the song accompanies various types of content. Videos comparing made-up and bare-faced looks, album collages, and selfie-focused content are among the standout examples of this trend. The song contributes to creating a common narrative language for these posts.

This situation demonstrates the potential for music to be rediscovered on digital platforms. In particular, the proliferation of short-form video formats has made it easier for content from past eras to resurface. Such trends offer a current example of how the interaction between music and social media is taking shape.
