On August 11, 2023, Medellín, Colombia-born singer Karol G—sometimes referred to as "La Nena de Medellín", or "the girl from Medellín", herself—released a remix of the song with Cris MJ and fellow Colombian artist Ryan Castro as the sixth track on her second mixtape project, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season).[38] [39] [40]
The release of "Una Noche en Medellín (Remix)" was first confirmed by Karol G on March 21, 2022, soon after Cris MJ had gone viral with the song. Karol G posted an Instagram video, teasing her verses and confirming the addition of Ryan Castro.[41]
Soon after, some controversy ensued when Dominican-American singer De La Ghetto also posted an Instagram video showing a verse he had for a different remix of the song, stating: "They want to take me off the remix, I can’t let this happen." Cris MJ responded on the same post that it wasn’t "up to him [Cris MJ]", replying: "That’s not what happened brother, it’s out of my hands. To the people that think it’s up to me, it’s not like that. It’s up to the big leagues."[42]
Later, Karol G confirmed that she had decided to not continue with the remix, stating that she was unaware of any "other" potential artist features or remixes. She said that she "…would like to clarify that at no time was I aware that other artists had recorded [new verses,] and that apparently there were several remixes discussed[,] until two days ago when I announced it. My team and I value and respect the work of my colleagues, and although I love the project and hate that this type [these types] of things happen[ing], we have decided not to move forward with the [release of the song].[43]
Furthermore, Cris MJ, in his response to De la Ghetto, said that not only was the final remix not his responsibility but that it was all decided by Stars Music Chile, whom backed-up Cris MJ’s statements. The label also claimed that De la Ghetto was not part of the remix due to "a major industry decision", before subsequently deleting the statement.
In June 2022, in an interview for Los 40 radio Colombia, Castro revealed that the remixed version of the song originally included MJ, Karol and himself, but that the label had also decided to incorporate De la Ghetto. Due to the fact that the label did not notify her of the presence of a fourth artist on the remix, Karol G made the decision not to publish the remix, despite not having any existing problems with De la Ghetto.[44] The decision was purely "business". The following month, in an interview with Chilean journalist Diego González, Cris MJ announced that the remix would ultimately be released, although he did not confirm when or which other artists would be featured.[45]
On February 19, 2023, Cris MJ and Karol G performed the remix live for the first time, as a duo (omitting Ryan Castro's parts), in Valparaíso, Chile, during Karol's headlining set at the LXII Viña del Mar International Song Festival in Chile. This was the first major performance the two singers gave of the song since its original release by Cris MJ in 2022, and was meant to tease the release of the remixed single.[46] On August 7, 2023, Karol G revealed the tracklist for her second mixtape, Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), which included "Una Noche en Medellín (Remix)", featuring herself, Cris MJ and Ryan Castro, as the sixth track. The single was officially released on August 11, 2023, coinciding with the mixtape’s release.[47] In the United States, the single peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, and also managed to crack the mainstream US Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 68; the song reached No. 3 in Cris MJ's home country of Chile and No. 7 in Colombia.
