Background

edit

During the summer 2019, Aitana began hinting at a new single that would feature a well-known artist. Originally scheduled to be released in November, the singer announced the release of "+" through her social media on 4 December 2019.[3] The featured artist remained unknown for months.[4] Aitana and the duo first met in April 2018 in Los Angeles when they helped her record her debut studio album.[5] In 2019, the duo eventually called her again in order to make a song together.[6] The first teaser of the song was released on 16 December.[7]

Composition

edit

The song was composed by the three performers alongside Andrés Torres in Los Angeles and talks about "summer love affairs that are very short but very intense". The performers constantly play with the words "plus" and "minus" as symbols during the song. The artists later revealed that they wanted "+" to have a 2000s pop sound similar to Avril Lavigne's "Complicated".[8] The song goes progressively in crescendo.

Music video

edit

The music video, directed by Venezuelan artist Nuno Gomes, was recorded in Buenos Aires between 15 and 16 October 2019, and gained over one million views in its first 24 hours.[9]
