As Los 40 informed, the genesis of this collaboration began with a simple request made by Alejandro Sanz himself. Accompanied by Rosalía, he approached Manuel Alejandro during the Christmas season. What transpired was the beginning of a creative journey that promises to yield something genuinely extraordinary.

In a recent interview with Aimar Bretos on Hora 25, Manuel Alejandro provided a tantalizing glimpse into the theme of the upcoming song. With Alejandro Sanz and Rosalía having recently undergone significant personal transitions, the song seems poised to explore the emotional landscape of these transformative moments.

The composer revealed that the song will serve as a dialogue between the two artists, offering a unique glimpse into their inner worlds. “Well, the lyrics speak perfectly of the moment that Alejandro Sanz and Rosalía are experiencing,” says Manuel.
