Background edit
During an interview with Los 40 in November 2021, Nicki Nicole confirmed that she had collaborated with Aitana in a track that would be released soon.[5] Some days later, Aitana confirmed the release date of the single and confirmed that the music video would also be dropping that same day.[6][7]
Reception edit
"The catchy melody of the song's chorus is one of the most memorable parts of the song".[8] Soon after its release, the song was criticized by some listeners because one verse reads, "I'll fly directly to Formentera", but Formentera is an island and has no airport.[9][10][11]
Commercial performance edit
The song debuted at number 76 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 and eventually peaked at number 57.[12] In Spain, the song peaked at number three and was certified 5xplatinum.
