On an interview with Billboard Giraldo revealed how the song was inspired by her then partner Anuel AA: "In this song I’ll tell the story of how I met Ema. The song starts from the moment Ema first wrote me a DM on Instagram […] until the day we met and went out. And when we went out, in the middle of dancing, and whether I’d go home with him or not."

Billboard stated "It’s her own, very personal, and feminine, take on reggaeton; a Karol G stamp that makes her stand out in the genre."
