It received a diamond certification in Brazil,double platinum in the United States,and gold in Australia,New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

A remix of the song featuring American rapper Gunna was released on May 1,2020.
The recording process for Cabello's second studio album Romance took under ten months,and concluded in October 2019. [1] [2] [3] "My Oh My" was first teased by The Sun on November 27,2019,where the writer Howell Davies stated that the carnal song "is her naughtiest yet" and compared it to the 2017 song "Havana". [4]
Musically,"My Oh My" is a two-minute and fifty one second reggaeton-influenced pop [5] song with a pop-rap [6] and R&B-pop [7] beat. According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing,"My Oh My" was composed using 4
4 common time in the key of C minor,with a moderate tempo of 104 beats per minute. The song follows the chord progression of Cm–A♭–G.

[11] According to reporter Eilish O'Sullivan from The Daily Dot ,"the songs' call and responses are what make them sound especially similar".
