The song's title is a reference to Puerto Rican slang for "outstanding rhythm".
The song was widely acclaimed by music critics, most of whom praised its deconstruction of reggaeton and cyberpunk experimental sounds, stating "the song is more experimental than anything she has recorded before and perhaps her best work yet". The song's accompanying music video, directed by Valentin Petit, was shot in Kyiv, mainly at Podilskyi Bridge. It would go on to win an MTV Video Music Award and a UK Music Video Award.
