Before the collaboration was unveiled, on March 29, 2023, Gomez posted a photo on Instagram and Facebook with the phrase from the song's lyrics in her caption, "Te llevé a Chanel" (Eng. trans: I took you to Chanel), to which Peso replied "También escogió Cartier" (Eng. trans: He also chose Cartier), and rumors about a collaboration soon began.
