Released in 2020 via Linked Music, Dynamic Records and Empire, the reggaetón track unfolds with a storyline that’s captivating and flirty, written by Wheeler, Towers, as well as De La Ghetto. The accompanying music video sees Wheeler and Towers exuding effortless swagger on a rooftop before transitioning to a neon-lit space to close the clip out.
Meanwhile, the subject of their curiosity is shown immersed in the simplicity of her daily routine — mopping floors, studying, and living a low-key life. As the narrative unfolds, her mundane tasks take a playful turn, with suggestive dance moves punctuating her daydreams, until Wheeler suddenly appears unannounced, leaving both characters caught in a moment of shy intrigue.
