Controversy
In April 2016, it was reported that tourism officials in Ibiza were
"annoyed" by the song as they felt it contributed to Ibiza's
reputation for drug-related debauchery due to lyrics in the song
such as "I took a pill in Ibiza" and "You don't want to be high like
me". The island's tourism director Vicent Ferrer stated, "We have
invited the author of this song to discover Ibiza because we have
much more to offer besides the nightlife which is known
worldwide," and noted that the island had been "typecast" due to
its reputation for nightlife and as a partying destination.
