This little girl is all the sassiness you'll need for today. 

Bomba Estéreo just premiered their music video for their song "Soy Yo," and it's everything we didn't know we wanted. The clip features an empowering young girl that should probably be our spirit animal. She loves herself and owns it. She's proud of having a unique and disregards what other kids think of her. And that's pretty cool. 

"The video concept was perfect for a song that touches on bullying and intolerance, issues that worry all of us. The way the story in the clip handles those issues is very different and it gives our song a whole new meaning," lead singer Li Saumet told Billboard exclusively.

As for the little girl in the music video, her name is Sarai and this is her acting debut. Sarai's and her family live in New Jersey. The Grammy-nominated band used inspiration from Fresh Prince of Bel Air and some of Sarai's own moves to great the epic dance scene. 

And if this song sounds familiar, it's because it's been playing for a while in Target's commercial with the legendary Rita Moreno, YouTube star Dulce Candy, personal trainer Massy Arias, model Heidy De la Rosa and actress Gaby Espino.

"There is so much talent out there that we don't sometimes notice because we're always working with the same people and the same team. We like to change, renovate and evolve constantly. That's why we decided to open up this contest not only in Colombia but also around the world. We really liked the simple concept this Danish team presented, and we went with that," Saumet said.
