Then I left her, because everyone liked her".
On January 18, 2022, MJ posted a snippet of the music video as a preview through Instagram, also announcing that the release of "Una Noche en Medellín" would be on January 20 of that year.[4]

Concert tour
In March 2022, the singer confirmed that he would embark on his Un noche en Medellín Tour, with which he would visit the countries of Mexico, Peru, Spain, Chile and the United Kingdom, in support of his single and the rest of his record material.[8][9][10]

On August 11, 2023, Colombian singer Karol G released a remix of the song alongside Cris MJ and Colombian singer Ryan Castro, as the sixth track on her second mixtape project, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season).[12][13][14]
Background and release
On March 21, 2022, Karol G confirmed her participation in a remix of "Una noche en Medellín", which would also include the American singer De La Ghetto and Ryan Castro.[15] However, days after the announcement, a controversy broke out due to the news of the removal of the De la Ghetto fragment in the remix.[16][17] Because they accused her of what happened, Karol G confirmed the cancellation of the remix, stating that she was unaware of the participation of the other artists and apologizing to the followers for the fact.14 For her part, MJ responded to De la Ghetto, saying that it was not his responsibility and that the decision was made by the Stars Music Chile label, which supported what MJ stated and claimed that the American artist was not part of the remix due to "a major industry decision," but then he deleted the statement.[16]
In June 2022, in an interview for Los 40 radio in Colombia, Ryan Castro revealed that the remixed version of the song originally included MJ, Karol and him, but that the label decided to incorporate De la Ghetto. Due to the fact that the label did not notify the presence of another artist in the remix, Karol G made the decision not to publish the remix, despite not having any problem with De la Ghetto.[18] The following month, in an interview by Chilean journalist Diego González, MJ announced that the remix would be released, although he did not confirm who the artists would be participating in.[19]
On February 19, 2023, Cris MJ and Karol G performed the song live during the LXII Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile, despite the fact that the song had already been canceled until then.[20] On August 7, 2023, Karol G revealed the track list for his second mixtape Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season),[21] which includes "Una Noche en Medellín (Remix)" as the sixth track, with the participation of Cris MJ and Ryan Castro. Finally, the mixtape was released on August 11, 2023 via Bichota Records and Interscope.[citation needed]
