About this song

The song opens Bad Bunny's album and pays tribute to "Un Verano en Nueva York" by El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico and Andy Montañez, a Puerto Rican salsa hit from the 1970s that spread to the United States and cities like New York. Inspired by that salsa, Bad Bunny gradually transforms it into dembow, giving it a more urban sound. It was one of the last three songs revealed by Spotify in a campaign that gave coordinates to look up on Google Maps, and the coordinates for this song led to Grand St in Brooklyn, New York.
