"Virtual Diva" is the first single by Puerto Rican reggaeton performer Don Omar from his third studio album iDon. It was released on February 3, 2009 through Machete Music and VI Music. The song was released through nationwide airplay in December 2008, and has since become the most requested song at urban radio, reaching the number-one position on the Billboard Latin Rhythm Airplay chart.[2] In an obvious attempt to follow in the steps of the genre’s trendy electro-dance craze, iDon laces urban sounds with a blend of hip hop, electronica and dance beats. The song is included in the soundtrack of Grand Theft Auto IV, and it is included in the soundtrack of Saints Row: The Third.

Don Omar in the music video for "Virtual Diva".

A music video for "Virtual Diva" was produced and filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[3] Around the end of January 2009, after celebrating with fellow working bachata group Marcy Place while performing at the Providence Club in New York, Don Omar was finishing up on recording his new studio album. It would eventually be announced that he would be traveling down to Argentina once again to start filming the music video, which finished production on February 13, 2009.[3] The video feature Argentinean model Ingrid Grudke, who portrays a doctor who wants to perform a grand experiment transforming Don Omar into half-man, half-machine.
