Critical reception[edit]

Nancy Gomez of EDM Tunes wrote that the track "comes with an energizing and joyful vibe to bring the madness to the dancefloor or any virtual event."[4]

Music video[edit]

The music video was directed by Christian Breslauer, who filmed the music videos for "The Business", "Industry Baby" and "Streets". It starts off with an outdoor shot of the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet at the Night, then followed up by the Night at the Museum-inspired music video, comedian Blake Webber plays a museum janitor, and Karol G dances with a group of dancers in different scenes in a museum.[5]

Part two of the music video was released on 4 September 2021.[6]
