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.

They seem to remember her face, but not her name.[4]
