The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart the week of April 29 at number 88.[2] Lyrically, the song talks about a conversation between ex-partners, in which the man wants to return with the girl, but she refuses. The song belongs to the genre of corridos tumbados, a sub-genre of regional Mexican music.

Background and release

edit

After Gomez previously worked 4 times as a guest artist with singers of the regional Mexican genre, — in 2018 on the song "Pienso en Ti" with Joss Favela, in 2020 on the cover of "Jolene" with Chiquis Rivera, in the 2022 in the remix of "Ya Acabó" by group Marca MP and in 2023 in "Te Quiero Besar" with Fuerza Regida - she and Peso Pluma recorded her first song in the genre as a lead artist.[3] In Miami, composer Edgar Barrera was the one who gave Peso Pluma the idea of recording with her, so Barrera contacted Gomez's team and she quickly accepted.[4]

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. On March 30, "Chanel" was officially announced through the reveal of the cover on social media of both singers and on Prajin Records, Peso Pluma's label, and it premiered the night of that same day.[5]

Gomez commented in a conversation between the two artists in a live video on Instagram, that the day they wrote the song and they were in the recording studio, she felt nervous about meeting the Mexican singer and the difference in their voices, and he replied: "Me too, [I was] like 'How do you think? Becky G in the studio making a song', and when you joined the chorus, I said 'She has a voice!'"[6]

Music video

edit

The music video was released on April 6, 2023. It was directed by Ricky Alvarez and filmed in Los Angeles.
