As Kali Uchis and Karol G began a friendship, they planned to record music together. The latter revealed that they wrote several songs during their visits to each other homes.[1] [2] From that sessions, they finished two songs: "Me Tengo Que Ir", which was released on Karol G's second mixtape Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) (2023) and an undisclosed song that would be released in one Uchis works.[3] On October 18, 2023, Uchis revealed the song with Karol G to be titled "Labios Mordidos", which was recorded for her fourth studio album Orquídeas (2024).[4]
"Labios Mordidos" is a reggaeton song,[5] produced by Albert Hype, Austen Jux-Chandler, and Manuel Lara.[6] A song with sapphic themes, it details the flirtation between two women.[7]
Uchis first performed her part of "Labios Mordidos" during her set at Lollapalooza Brazil 2023.[8] Karol G also teased the song's release during an interview with Rolling Stone, hinting to be released in November 2023. She later sang part of "Labios Mordidos" as a medley with "Qlona" and "Ojos Ferrari" during her performance at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards.[9]
Both Uchis and Karol G posted the song's release date, with the former uploading photos taken on the music video's set. "Labios Mordidos" premiered as the third single from Orquídeas on November 23, 2023, at 21:00 PT (5:00 UTC on November 24, 2023).[10]
