"Why Wait" was written and composed by Perez Prado. The song was recorded in New York City in 1958. The recording session featured a large orchestra, including trumpets, trombones, saxophones, and a rhythm section with guiro, and rockabilly guitar.

"Why Wait" was released in 1958 and quickly became a hit. The song reached number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Singles chart and number six on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It also charted in several other countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

"Why Wait" was a major hit for Perez Prado and helped to solidify his status as one of the most popular Latin music artists of the era. The song was also a crossover hit, appealing to both Latin and non-Latin audiences. It is considered to be one of the most iconic mambo songs of all time.

Here the mambo is done in the 1947 film "Músico, poeta y loco" (Musician, Poet and Crazy Man) starring Tin Tan dancing to En el colegio de las señoritas" (At the Girls' School).
