Background and release

"Hollywood" was released as a single by Plazola in 2020, through Rancho Humilde.[1] After he met Peso Pluma, they would re-record the song together.[2] The re-recorded version was then released on 20 June 2024, as the 10th track from his fourth studio album Éxodo.[3] It was named the 11th best track from the album by Billboard, and also peaked at number 11 on the US Hot Latin Songs chart after it was released.[4] [5]

Lyrics

"Hollywood" is a song where its lyrics revolve around being abused as a child and gaining eventual fame, while it is entirely an ode to Hollywood, Los Angeles.[6] He stated that it is about "our reality [and] how our lives went through this process — getting famous, getting money [and] getting what we've wanted since we were kids".[7] It also contains the lyric "Mira el presidente, otro más para la lista de corrupto" (English: "Look at the president, another one for the list of corrupt people"), which is a possible reference towards Mexican politician Andrés Manuel López Obrador.[8] [9]
