"Si Supieran" received positive reviews. Adriana Lopez from BELatina wrote that Rubio "disses on her exes and their pathetic attempts to outdo her in the happiness" with a "newly single girl’s anthem" with urban vibes. [3] Mike Wass from Idolator noted that the song "is bursting with the hitmaker’s feisty personality and boasts the kind of outrageous lyrics." [4]

This is Rubio's first song to be released outside of Universal Music, her label of 20 years.[ citation needed ]

Music video

The music video was released on September 12 and was described by media outlets as 'wild' as Rubio plays the role of a woman celebrating her new life as a bachlerotte while surrounded by masked shirtless men moving and jumping from one bed to another.

Si Supieran caused controversy as critics considered the song to be a diss track directed at Rubio's ex-husband Nicolás Vallejo-Nágera and ex-boyfriend Gerardo Bazúa, who both recently had criticized her on social media for allegedly not allowing them to see their children with her. [5] [6]
