Background

The performers first met at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April 2019, where they took some pictures that would later be used to promote the single.^[1][2] A couple days later, Bad Bunny went to see Rosalía live at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles, which led to many rumors about a future musical collaboration and a possible romance, which was later denied.^[3] In July 2020, when travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic started to lift, Rosalía travelled to San Juan to work on her upcoming studio album.^[4] There she worked with Tainy, Chris Jedi, Gaby Music and Tego Calderón among others.^[5] Bad Bunny later told Billboard that they and Rosalía wanted to work together for a long time but that the right song or moment hadn't come up but that, while in Puerto Rico, Jeday sent him a rhythmic base that he had been working on with the Spanish singer and "I thought it was cool, but I let it sit for a while. A couple days later I couldn't stop singing the song. So I told Chris I would take a stab and see what comes out".^[6]

On November 25, Bad Bunny surprisingly revealed the cover art, tracklist and release date for his third studio album after announcing in YHLQMDLG that he would release an album nine months after that one and then retire for an indefinite period of time, but the pandemic situation made him change his mind.^[7][8] "La Noche de Anoche", released two days later, became an instant fan favorite and a remarkable one for critics.
