Background

The Black Eyed Peas and Maluma first worked together on the former's 2019 single "Ritmo". Ultimately, Maluma's verse was removed from the song and was replaced by J Balvin. They then collaborated on a second song that "turned out to be another dead end". According to will.i.am, Maluma then became "very critical on everything that we did" and the two eventually came up with "Feel the Beat",^[1] which contains the verse that was originally written for "Ritmo".^[2][3]
