Background and promotion
On 25 October 2019, Alborán started posting cryptic illustrations of a group called El Clan.[1] According to the captions, all of the figures are connected to flashbacks Alborán's character once experienced and were collectively aimed at a project called "Tabú" which would be out on 6 November.[2] Three days later, Alborán posted the image of a partially masked Ava Max and hinted at a possible collaboration. Both artists confirmed the song "Tabú" a day after that.[3][4] The singers performed the song live for the first time a few days before release.[5]
