This is the fourth collaboration between the two Colombian artists, following the remix of Carlos Vives and Shakira's "La Bicicleta", "Chantaje" and "Trap".[3] The song was speculated by Rolling Stone to be the lead single from Shakira's upcoming twelfth studio album, but was ultimately not included on the final tracklist.[4] However, the song was included on the 2024 vinyl release of El Dorado as the 14th and final track.[5]

Music video

The music video was filmed between June 26 and 27 on a beach in Sitges, a town near Barcelona, the location of the song's recording, and was released on July 27, 2018. The video was directed by Jaume de la Iguana. Its cinematography was handled by Nono Arruga.[6] It gained five million views in its first 24 hours.
