Review

This song is about overcoming heartbreak. Karol G sings about leaving pain behind while bragging about her own qualities (which the other girl does not possess). The song reflects on a complex issue: the fact that perhaps things would have turned out differently if Karol G had known the guy before. She expresses that the guy's current lover will never be like her.

The song makes me feel happy. Although it conveys some melancholy, the song tells a story of true empowerment in the midsts of  suffering. The lyrics and video suggest that the setting is tropical. The lyrics also talk about summertime as the season in which the events take place.

This tune is a joyful one although it discusses a love that never took place, which might be a little melancholic. This is not an explicit record.

In the video, Karol G sings karaoke in a restaurant and suddenly starts to go around the entire neighborhood. People in the streets start to cheer, dance, and sing along. The video relates with the joy, carelessness, and playfulness present in the lyrics.
