Background

Fonsi wrote a song with "a lot of feeling" and wanted a voice with a "perfect balance between urban and melodic", so he chose Ozuna. [2] Fonsi stated that he wished to collaborate with Ozuna because he is "incredibly talented, has great vocals and great writing". [1]

Composition

The song is a "romantic urban tune" dedicated to women, from the point of view of a man. [1] [2] HotNewHipHop stated the track has the sound and potential to be a "'Despacito type single". [3] El Mundo called the song a ballad mixed with reggaeton and similar to Fonsi's other "songs of this style that were characterized by their romantic lyrics and deep phrases". [4]

Music video

The music video was directed by Carlos Perez and filmed at Gold Coast Railroad Museum in Miami, FL in September 2018, [2] with Fonsi confirming this on Instagram. [4]
