"Mientras Me Curo del Cora" (Spanish for "While I Heal My Heart"; stylized in all caps) is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Karol G.[1] It was written by Karol G, Keityn and Ovy on the Drums and produced by the latter, with Bobby McFerrin receiving credits for its sample of "Don't Worry, Be Happy". The song was released on March 7, 2023, through Universal Music Latino, as the sixth single from her fourth studio album, Mañana Será Bonito.

Background

"Mientras Me Curo del Cora" was first teased at the Viña Del Mar International Song Festival on February 19, 2023, where a part of the song was performed live by Karol G for the first time. She also revealed that the song was featured on her then-upcoming fourth studio album.[2] The song was officially released on February 24, 2023, alongside the release of its album, Mañana Será Bonito as the opening track of the album.

Composition

The song was inspired by a trip the singer took to Maasai Mara reserve in Kenya, where she was touched by a vocal performance of some of the locals.[3] After that, Karol G connected with Linda Goldstein, the producer of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin, to sample it.[4] Goldstein crafted the intricate vocal arrangements of "Mientras Me Curo del Cora", and also added the sample that plays at the start.[3]

Critical reception

Ernesto Lechner of Rolling Stone wrote that the song determines the "epic post-breakup mode" opening of the album in which the singer "reassures our wounded hearts that it's ok to feel sad at times". Lechner prized the production of Ovy on the Drums, defining him as "a digital architect able to inject a sense of purpose into the most tired reggaeton back beat".[5] Billboard described the song as "sweet and joyous" with "simplicity in terms of production".[6]
