Bad Bunny appears to be waiting for her, and they kiss before getting in the car. The video ends as the duo are driving off.

Live performances

[edit]

Due to the song becoming a huge success, Gomez was invited to perform it at several radio stations and during interviews. She sang the song regular and acoustic at iHeart Radio Mi Música. She also sang it in Spain in La Vida Moderna and Sale el Sol in acoustic, and regular on Operación Triunfo. Her performance on the latter garnered some attention due to a change in the lyrics at the request of the producers due to them thinking they were "too sexual". Although Gomez agreed, she later stated it bothered her and said she accepted "out of respect" and because it was "a great opportunity", but believes that it wouldn't be done to a man, listingOzunaandEnrique Iglesiasas examples.[8]
