Chicano Batman reveals five things you didn’t know about the track “Fly” and the creative behind its music video.
Chicano Batman: Hey, this is Chicano Batman, and these are five things you might not know about our song “Fly.”
One thing about “Fly” that you don’t know is that it was actually meant to be really slow — a lot slower than it is. In the studio, we ended up making it a lot faster. Our producer and also Eduardo were like, “Oh, we should speed it up.” And that’s what it is now, but we was just talking to them about, maybe, putting out a version that’s slower because it’s actually really dope.
No. 2: The dove in the music video is not CGI. This guy is a bird whisperer. It’s birds in his family — runs through his Salvadorian blood and he has a calling with animals.
Another thing that you might not know about “Fly” the music video: It was directed by these Argentinian sisters called the Giraffe Sisters. And they approached us with this amazing mood board that just had basically, like, Prince’s second album cover and was like, “Let’s make this album cover look into, like, a music video.” And it was just paying homage to artists like Funkadelic, Prince, Rick James. Yeah, we had a lot of fun with it, you know, very tongue in cheek and silly and it was a lot of fun to be on set for.
And then when we were in the studio actually making … after we tracked everything and it sounded, you know, banging and it was just huge coming from the speakers after we recorded it. I heard big background vocals kind of, like, very kind of just, you know, Funkadelic ’80s, you know, funk and that’s when I heard those big backup vocals. And shout out to Maya, who sang on it, and her crew, they killed it.
The bass has a reverb. Check any other Chicano Batman song. No other song has reverb on the bass but “Fly” because why not? There are no rules.Watch the full video above!

Luis Miguel is, indisputably, one of the top voices of our generation, and his unmatched showmanship was on full display on Thursday (Oct. 8) at the sold-out, 19,500-capacity Madison Square Garden.
El Sol de México is midway through his ambitious Luis Miguel Tour 2023 of 65 shows, produced by CMN, which kicked off August 3 in Buenos Aires, Argentina. His upcoming dates include Miami (Oct. 13), Oklahoma City (Oct. 26), Austin (Nov. 5), before Miguel makes his way across plenty of cities in his beloved Mexico; he will complete his tour on Dec. 17 in Guadalajara, Jalisco.
Backed by an orchestra composed of string and brass sections, three backup singers and a band complete with guitar, percussion and bass, Luis Miguel was quite dapper in his elegant black suit — but still full of energy. Although the Mexican icon did not speak to the crowd, he did extend his arms to the front row attendees (Bad Bunny was also in the audience, along with rumored girlfriend Kendall Jenner). Yet, his on-stage dynamism was in full effect, while he delivered 40 years of hits, moments of vocal raspiness aside.
Amid a sea of neon-colored lights that adorned the scene — via bracelets that elated concert-goers wore on their wrists — and a screen behind the stage showing images of galaxy clusters, aurora borealis, and majestic forests, the nearly two-hour set was nothing short of spectacular. The bonafide hitmaker’s spanned whirling romantic songs (“No Sé Tú,” “La Incondicional,” “Hasta Que Me Olvides”), energetic pop (“Ahora Te Puedes Marchar,” “La Chica Del Bikini Azul,” “Isabel”) and even one number featuring a troupe of invigorated mariachi players (“La Bikina”).
If you missed one of his shows, fret not: The “Fría Como el Viento” crooner will resume with part two for Luis Miguel Tour 2024, kicking off in the Dominican Republic (Jan. 20), then hitting Puerto Rico (Jan. 23), before he makes his way throughout several major cities across South America, and eventually returns back to the United States.
Here are five things to know about his Luis Miguel Tour 2023:
