It was released as a single on 22 June 2023 through Rancho Humilde, Street Mob Records and Sony Music Latin, as the second single from the group's eighth studio album, Pa Las Baby's y Belikeada.[1]

Commercial performance
[edit]The song debuted and reached number 2 on Top 50 Mexico on Spotify, number 15 on the Top Global and top 10 in countries such as United States, Guatemala y Honduras, top 20 in Nicaragua y top 100 in Colombia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Costa Rica y Panama.[2] In the week of 2 July 2023, the song debuted and reached number 3 on Hot Latin Songs in the United States, number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100,[3] tied with "Ella Baila Sola" by Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma, as the second highest debut on the list for a regional Mexican song—both below "un x100to" by Grupo Frontera.
Music video
[edit]A music video for the song was uploaded on June 22, on the group's official YouTube channel, and was produced by Ortíz Paz and Jimmy Humilde. The video stars the members of the band,[4] where they who is seen at party in a mansion with women. Ortíz Paz plays as a plastic surgeon, who treats these women in his office at the beginning of the video clip. He also, during the video, crushes a purple tarantula and when he drags his foot he leaves a blood stain of the same color. This gesture was related to Mexican singer Peso Pluma, who used tarantulas and the color purple as part of the aesthetic of his album Génesis,[5] released on the same day as the "Sabor Fresa" release. Therefore, it was assumed that there might have been a feud between them despite having shared the success of "Igualito a Mi Apá".[6][7] The video accumulated 1.4 million views on YouTube.[8][9]
