It was released on 26 September 2024, through Rancho Humilde and Sony Music Latin, and is the second collaboration between both artists, after the 2023 single "Antidoto".

Background and music

[edit]

Fellow Mexican songwriter Alexis Fierro, also known as El Chachito, first came up with a melody and lyrics for "Tu Boda" at a time he was exhausted due to a tiring travel schedule.[1] Inspired by the Tim Burton-directed film Corpse Bride, he also performed a sample of the song with a guitar.[1] Impressed by the song, Óscar Maydon spent a set of days producing its guitar and tololoche arrangements, which were written through vocal sounds.[1]

"Tu Boda" was released for digital download and streaming on 26 September 2024, through Rancho Humilde and Sony Music Latin.[2] Musically, "Tu Boda" is a corrido tumbado-sierreño song, which thematically revolves about a man who is seeing his loved one marry someone else.[3] It also revolves around him wanting to die along with his ex-partner in the lyric, "Quiero que bailemos juntos / En el cielo o el infierno" (transl. "I want us to dance together / In heaven or hell").[4]
