Location (Karol G song)

Last updated

I like to give my fans a unique experience with every single release, both musically and visually. It’s a very special song for me because I was able to collaborate with artists that I admire and we were able to fuse reggaeton/hip-hop/country influences into an amazing song and video filled with energy and rodeo vibes.
