Released as the second single from Let It Loose, "Betcha Say That" was not among Estefan's bigger hits of the 1980s, peaking at #36 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in October 1987.[1] It was more successful on the Billboard adult contemporary chart, where the song reached #19.[2] In the UK, the single was released in September 1987 and like the previous release of Rhythm Is Gonna Get You, it failed to chart.
In the US, a single remix was released on 7", and an extended remix was released on a 12" single.
The song was not selected for inclusion on the singer's 1992 greatest hits album.
