Background
editA photo of both singers in a studio was posted on Instagram, with fans speculating that it would be a possible collaboration between both artists.[2][3]
The former told Sony Music about Peso Pluma and about working with him:
Starting this new year fulfilling the pending dream of two kids who started in this for the love of music, seeking to express in lyrics and melodies what we wanted to say to the world, is all I can ask for. Peso Pluma belongs to a generation that wants the world to know its music, which carries the aroma of ranch, grass and gallop. We are very happy with the result of how "La Intención" turned out for us, it is made with the intention that you love it as much as we love you.[4][5]
Music video
editA music video was released on the same day of the song's release, which features both artists. It was filmed in Los Angeles and was directed by Fernando Lugo.[5]
