After a decade without releasing new material since “Catarsis” while still collaborating with other artists, Belinda announced her return to music on August 7, 2023, when she signed a contract with Warner Music Group, signifying that the fifth album was once again in the works.[1]
On January 10, 2024, she deleted all her Instagram posts. She teased the song by posting three pictures of a cactus slowly growing, using the hashtags "Renace", "Crece" and "Florece" on January 17, 18 and 19 respectively. The song was eventually released on January 31.
The song was written by Belinda Peregrín, Mr. Naisgai & José Ángel Pérez Sandoval.
The song's lyrics were leaked the day before its release and were implied to be about the past relationship she had with Christian Nodal: "Al final no hay bien sin mal y el dolor se pasará. Yo volví, Beli-k...No fuiste lo que esperé de ti, carajo como me hiciste sufrir... De que sirvió tatuarte mis ojos pa' luego borrarlos con otros... Yo nunca dije nada de ti y con mucha clase yo me fui". This was confirmed when another teaser of the video showed a man resembling Nodal and having a tattoo of Belinda's eyes on his chest.[2]
The music video was released the same day as the song. It was produced by UNCOMMON Productions and directed by Flakka. The video features Belinda wearing a black hat while being chased into the desert by a trio of carry-weaponed men while displaying allusions of her former romance with Christian Nodal.[3]
