Background

Maluma and J Balvin announced their collaboration on "Qué Pena" on their social media accounts on August 20, 2019.[2] This song is the first original collaboration between the two Colombian singers, after Maluma joined J Balvin on the remix of the latter and Nicky Jam's hit song "X."[3]

Composition and lyrics

"Qué Pena" is an urban fusion track that contains elements of EDM and tango music. It is described as a seductive track in which Maluma and J Balvin try to convince a woman who they have met before to go out with them, only to feel embarrassed about the situation. They seem to remember her face, but not her name.[4]

Music video

The music video for "Qué Pena" was directed by Colin Tilley and was filmed in New York City. The video shows Maluma and J Balvin making fun of each other as they attend a private party, where they both meet a woman who they can't fully seem to remember, but they are shown to have a good time regardless.[5] The video has over 180 million views on YouTube as of May 2020.[6]
