Background and composition

edit

The song was inspired by one of Gomez's musical influences, the Tex-Mex icon Selena Quintanilla. Co-written by Gomez, Édgar Barrera, Elena Rose, Aldo Vargas, Eduardo Mosquera and Luis Miguel Gómez Castaño, the song oozes elements of Tex-Mex, norteño, and cumbia. An interesting element is the sample of Panamanian group La Factoría and Eddy Lover's hit "Perdóname". Gomez sings: "Si alguna vez sentiste algo lindo por mí / Es hora que hagamos lo que quieras, baby / Si alguna vez sentiste algo lindo por mí / No perdamos tiempo, aunque yo sé que," giving a second chance to a past lover.[2]

Music video

edit

The music video was released on October 11. It was directed by Pietro Biz Biasia, and shot in Los Angeles, with cameos from Gomez's family and local businesses including fashion brand Ghetto Rodeo, Bravo's Charburgers, Veronica's Kitchen and more.
