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]
