Produced by Orlando Vitto and accompanied on guitar by Joss Favela, the song is a fusion of pop and Mexican regional music. It was composed by DELEŌN and his friend Samantha Cámara (daughter of Víctor Cámara).[3] Its lyrics tell about the guilt carried by the protagonist for betraying his girlfriend. The music video depicts Mexican heritage and cowboy-like scenes.[4]

Background edit

DELEŌN announced his exit from CNCO in April 2021, citing wishes to "grow and explore new artistic venues". It was preceded by a last-name change of the artist in an homage to his maternal grandfather, who taught him how to sing and initiated his passion for music.[5]
