A salsa/tropical remix was also recorded by the duo and was released on November 28, 2016.[4] In September 2017, the song was nominated in the Favorite Tropical Song category of Latin American Music Awards.

Live performance

Lopez and Anthony performed the song live together at the 17th Annual Latin Grammy Awards on November 17, 2016.[5] [6] [7] [8] According to Carolina Miranda of the Los Angeles Times, "The performance was full of intensity, humor and passion — and every second of it was absolutely irresistible", describing it as "dramatic" and "laser-light-filled".[9] E! Online wrote, "The two totally rocked the stage together, causing the crowd to go absolutely wild."[10] Forbes contributor Veronica Villafañe called Lopez and Anthony's duet one of the biggest highlights of the awards show.[11] Lucía Galán of Pimpinela praised Lopez and Anthony for covering their song. She called their version a "marvelous homage". Galán further remarked: "They interpreted it perfectly, kept its style and theme without detracting it. They did the theatrical part that is something that characterizes us and respected the melody. They could have made a ballad, salsa, something more danceable than it was but no, it was fabulous".[12]
