Background and music video

In March 2023, Quevedo was seen hanging with Anuel AA and his workteam (DJ Luian and Mambo Kingz) during the filming of his single with Maluma "Diablo, Que Chimba". Anuel AA also uploaded a video on Instagram singing a cappella of his verse in OA.^[2]

The single was leaked one day before its premiere. Quevedo clarified a month later through an interview on Chente Ydrach's podcast the single was scheduled to be released on the same day but due to some error in the launch, the song came out earlier in other countries.
