"Ella Me Levantó" (English: "She Picked Me Up"), is a 2007 reggaeton single by Daddy Yankee. Known for its combination of the "reggaeton" and "merengue" genres, the song helps define the new subgenre of reggaeton and merengue, "merenguetón."

It was released after "Mensaje de Estado," and Yankee also performed the song at the Latin Grammy Awards in December 2007.

In the U.S., the song peaked at #2 on the Hot Latin Tracks chart.[1]
