Background
Reception
"The catchy melody of the song's chorus is one of the most memorable parts of the song".[8] Soon after its release, the song was criticized by some listeners because one verse reads, "I'll fly directly to Formentera", but Formentera is an island and has no airport.[9][10][11]
Commercial performance
The song debuted at number 76 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 and eventually peaked at number 57.[12] In Spain, the song peaked at number three and was certified 5xplatinum.
