[8] She later said about the song :"This song is important to me for a number of reasons. Firstly,DJ Snake is considered one of the greatest DJs of the moment. [...] He is extremely giant,has several hits that the whole Brazil dances,sings,memes,viralizes. [...] And because I have Sean Paul,Sean Paul,he was part of my life story,I grew up listening to Sean Paul." [9]
Katie Stone from EDM.com called the song a "reggaeton smash" endowed with "sultry vocals and an infectious production",and noted that it's "the type of single that will get the dance floors bumping and grinding". [2] In the same way, DJ Mag France,Switzerland &Belgium described "Fuego" as "a new hit crossover that moves away from EDM to better embrace reggaeton and dancehall sounds". [10] Writing for Idolator ,Mike Nied compared the release to DJ Snake's 2018 song "Taki Taki". [11]

[18] In turn,DJ Snake,Sean Paul and Anitta each write their own mini-narrative. [20] DJ Snake is dancing around a dark area where he hangs near to a wolf and intermittently changes his jacket,while Sean Paul sings from inside a tunnel of fire. [11] [21] Anitta appears with several neat models,wiggling and stepping alongside dancers in a water mirror.
