The song received positive reviews from critics who praised the collaboration and lyrical content of the song. It is a feminist record.
Background edit
Composition sessions for the album began during the COVID-19 lockdowns of 2020. While iLe was writing "Algo Bonito", her brother suggested that she collaborate with Ivy Queen. Following the suggestion, she determined that Queen would be a "great" addition to the track, enlisting her participation. Queen loved the direction of the song and thus recorded verses.[1]
Speaking of the collaboration, iLe called Queen's participation as a "reminder that thanks to voices like hers, the fight as women is stronger than ever."[2] Queen expressed excitement about the collaboration, praising iLe’s previous musical outputs.[2]
Musical composition edit
The song begins with a thudding dembow rhythm which was created by iLe herself using audio creation software.[3]
Lyrically, the song has been described as a feminist anthem. An editor for the Washington Post claimed it to "reject society's efforts to control women and their bodies."[4]
