Background and lyrics

In June 2023, Peso Pluma announced the release date of his third studio album Génesis and revealed its official tracklist, where "La People" with Tito Double P was featured as its eleventh track.[2] By release of the song, and its parent album, rumors of Peso Pluma having connections with the Sinaloa Cartel were spreading online due to the lyrics used on "La People".[3]

Lyrically, the song mentions El Nini, known alias of Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas, throughout his years as part of the Sinaloa Cartel and his escape from prison in January 2023.[4] Following the arrest of El Nini in November 2023, "La People" went viral on social platforms, including TikTok.[5]
