On April 21, 2022, Uchis revealed to Billboard that she had two albums ready, one in English and one in Spanish.[5]

In July 2023, Uchis announced a "new era" for her music, along with a new single titled "Muñekita", with Dominican rapper El Alfa and American rapper JT from City Girls, as the first single for her upcoming album.[6] The single was released on August 4, 2023.[7][8][9][10] On October 11, 2023, Uchis announced her fourth studio album, titled Orquídeas, would be released on January 12, 2024, alongside the album's cover art.[11][12][13] On October 16, 2023, she announced the album's second single "Te Mata", which was released on October 20, 2023, alongside a music video.[14][15] The album's third single "Labios Mordidos", with Colombian singer Karol G, was released on November 24, 2023, alongside a music video.[16][17] On February 1, 2024, "Igual que un Ángel", with Mexican singer Peso Pluma, was sent to Italian radio as the album's fourth single.[18] Its music video was released on January 17, 2024.[19]

Orquídeas received widespread acclaim by critics upon its release. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 88, based on 14 reviews, indicating universal acclaim.[28] Reviewing the album for AllMusic, Thom Jurek concluded that "Uchis remains true to herself by restlessly expanding her music's stylistic reach, embracing the past as instructor to the present. It is as aesthetically appealing as it is musically adventurous.[29] In their review for the album, Harpsichord Zine commended the body of work for being a well-executed companion piece to Red Moon in Venus, noting that the translation of the album's title added "to the botanical motifs exhibited in [her] discography."[30] The review also noted how, "Young Rich & in Love" "parlays off" "Fantasy" from Red Moon In Venus, and cites how Uchis "models after her muse," boyfriend, Don Toliver.
