Composition and lyrics
The song adopts bachata’s romantic idiom while swapping the style’s customary lead guitar for electronic riffs and R&B-styled vocals, giving the track a contemporary texture.[6] Co-writer/producer Edgar Barrera stated in an interview with GQ that the absence of the lead guitar on the final take was unplanned but ultimately helped the record stand out.[7] In interviews, including with Rolling Stone, Manuel Turizo has characterized the lyrics as a relatable heartbreak narrative rooted in everyday experiences rather than a specific storyline.[8]
