In September 2018, Spanish singer Aitana posted on her Instagram Stories some pictures of her and Morat in a recording studio in Madrid.[2] In one of these posts, they announced that they had already written and recorded a huge ballad for the Spanish's debut extended play, Tráiler.[3] That song ended up being "Vas a quedarte", the EP's second official single, released in December of that same year.[4] Even though that collaboration had already happened, the media began talking about a second collaboration between these two artists. On April 9, 2019, Morat announced through their respective social media profiles that a new song called "Presiento" featuring Aitana would be released in three days.[5] The song's cover art was released the day after.[6] A snippet of "Presiento" was unveiled on April 11.[7] Aitana sang as well a snippet of the song in Madrid that same day as part of Los40 Stage acoustic concert series.
The song received more than 600,000 streams in Spotify in its first 24 hours. After that period of time, "Presiento" became the song with the highest debut in Spain, with more than 230,000 streams there, beating Rosalía and J Balvin's 2019 track "Con altura".[8]
Morat shared a preview of the music video on April 10, 2019. The video itself premiered on April 12, 2019 on the band's YouTube channel. The video features all four members of Morat and Aitana.
