The song first received attention after becoming viral on TikTok in Spain, soon after the song would extend to Latin American TikTok, where it surged in popularity reaching the top-ten spot in Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, and Peru (where it reached the number one spot).

Background

Self-written and self-produced by the 22-year-old from A Coruña, Quintero first released "Si No Estás" in 2022. However, it did not garner attention until September 2023, a full year later, through TikTok.^[1] Snippets of the song widely show clips of people in relationships expressing their mutual love for each other.^[2] The song generally talks about heartbreak and features lyrical elements of spirituality and "finding oneself through religion".^[3]
