Background and release

According to Reik's lead singer Jesús Navarro, "[he] was one of those people who are afraid of change",[2] and he stated that "as Pop artists, we should learn from Urban singers, they're always helping each other, without envy or anything like that".[2] Fellow member Gilberto Marín commented that "Sometimes, experimenting with different things and styles will take us away from what people would expect from us, what Reik usually does, but at the same time it defines that our sound is more universal".[2]

As Reik's members were working on the song, Ozuna heard it and wanted to participate on it, as did Wisin later on.[4]
