Song information

The song was written by Roy Tavaré and produced by Áureo Baqueiro, whom Alejandro has worked with in the past with his two previous albums.

Music video

The video was produced and directed by Gustavo Garzón. It is a continuation of "Estuve", where the story of a love triangle emphasizes the concept of karma, where each action has a reaction, its own effect equal or worse in magnitude, and this video entails the consequences of the betrayal.
