Karol G has released her latest project ‘Mañana Será Bonito: Bichota Season’ following her  historic performance at Lollapalooza.  The Colombian singer recently revealed the tracklist and collaborations of her new album, with one of the songs referring to her previous relationship with singer  Anuel AA .

Fans pointed out that her new song ‘Mi ex tenía razón’ is actually a response to Anuel’s recent song ‘Mejor que yo,’ which he dedicated to her amid her new romance with her new boyfriend Feid. “He doesn’t understand you like I do,” the song says, “What you lost in me you’re looking for in him.”

And while Karol G did not say anything immediately after the release of his song, she is now releasing a track dedicated to him in response to his song. The official video shows the singer performing in an intimate setting with her band, wearing a cowboy hat and a Selena Quintanilla crop top, vibing to the rhythm of the song, which is inspired by Tejano music.

“Mi ex was right. He said I wouldn’t find anyone like him. And someone better arrived, who treats me better than him,” she says in the song. The talented musician shared her excitement about her new project, admitting that this is mostly a tribute to one of her idols.

“This song is my baby. A musical style that I have followed and admired all my life with a special tribute to an artist that made possible everything that is happening to me today. Selena Quintanilla I love you!” she declared.
