Background and composition

In early August 2021, Aventura shared a preview of the song on Twitter, announcing the collaboration, with Bad Bunny posting stills from the video as well as a photo of him with the members of Aventura on his Instagram page.[7]

"Volví" combines bachata guitar licks with reggaeton drums.[2] The outro is merengue típico, played on güira, tambora, and guitar.[3] The lyrics feature themes of intimacy and jealousy, telling the story of a person who wants to come back with an ex.[8][4]

Reception

Zoe Haylock of Vulture.com commended the collaboration, "not just for bringing together crushes past and present but for combining the two genres from each country."[8] In Remezcla, Jennifer Mota compared the genre blending to "Ella y Yo", by Aventura featuring Don Omar, "for today's pop audience".[3]

Commercially, "Volví" reached number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's highest-charting song in the country.[6] It also marked Aventura's third number-one on the US Hot Latin Songs, and first since "Dile al Amor" in 2010, while becoming Bad Bunny's ninth chart-topper. The song reached number 11 on the Billboard Global 200 chart.[9]

Music video

The music video was released on August 3, 2021, along with the song. In the video, Aventura and Bad Bunny perform the song on a "packed" dance floor,[10] while a couple who dances together leaves for an intimate space at the end of the night.[11]

Live performance

On August 14, 2021, Aventura and Bad Bunny performed the song live for the first time at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida.[12]
