[3] It is a reggaeton song about female empowerment and breaking gender stereotypes. The accompanying music video was directed by Daniel Duran. [4] [5] The song was originally released as a single from Gomez's debut studio album Mala Santa but was ultimately scrapped.
Gomez stated that the song is "about breaking free from stereotypes",and she hopes that it "serves to empower young women". It is Gomez and Maluma's second collaboration,following the remix of "Mala Mía" released in 2018. [6] It was characterized as a "power anthem about breaking stereotypes". [7]
The song was going to be on the main tracklist of Just Dance 2020 ,but was removed for an unknown reason. It was later brought back on Just Dance Unlimited.
The music video was released alongside the song on April 19. It was called "retro-inspired" with "cute costumes" and "vibrant set-pieces" by Idolator ;its setting is inspired by the 1950s. [6] As of November 2023,the clip has over 454 million views.
The video starts in black-and-white,with Gomez in her room,watching a commercial featuring Maluma promoting a soap powder called "Sun Soap",saying "Si quieres una experiencia con espuma,llama al 1-800-Maluma" ("If you want an experience with foam,call at 1-800-Maluma"). She then goes around the neighborhood greeting people,and helping a man by fixing his car. Maluma is shown singing his first verse while washing clothes. These scenes are spliced with those of the singer doing choreography with back-up dancers,as well as her and Maluma singing in a blue setting.
