Background

According to Santos, he wanted to record a reggaeton track, to follow his previously released soundtrack, "Noche de Sexo", with Wisin & Yandel.^[1]

Reception

Billboard editor Leila Cobo noted that the song "approaches mainstream trap without betraying Santos' voice".^[2]

Music video

The music video was filmed in New York City (where the music video for "Eres Mía" was previously shot) between October 23 and 24 and released on November 24, 2017. It features Dominican model Yovanna Ventura, and Dominican dancers Dahiana Elizabeth and Cristal Sicard as the lead females.^[3]
