After Arcángel released his third studio album Ares, which contained Latin trap material, he would end his contract with Pina Records in 2019.^[1][2] He later began teasing his fourth album Historias de un Capricornio through interviews and by releasing a few singles.^[3] One of its singles, "Sigues Con Él", was released for digital download and streaming on December 13, 2019, through Rimas Entertainment.^[4]

"Sigues Con Él" is a reggaeton song, with the lyrics talking about a woman who refuses to leave a dissatisfied relationship. Alluding to the song title, the singers use the lyric "¿Por qué sigues con él?" ("Why are you still with him?"), in the chorus, as a way of asking the woman why she is still with her partner.^[5] A remix version of "Sigues Con Él", which adds a verse by American singer Romeo Santos, was released on April 10, 2020, through Rimas Entertainment. It serves as one of the singles from Arcángel's fifth studio album Los Favoritos 2 (2020).^[6][7] Further, it includes incorporations of tropical music.^[8]
