"+57" is a song by all-Colombian singers Karol G, Feid and DFZM featuring Ovy on the Drums, J Balvin, Maluma, Ryan Castro and Blessd. It was written by all the performers and Keityn, and produced by Ovy on the Drums. The title of the song refers to the Colombian telephone prefix.[1][2][3]
Background
[edit]The song was announced on November 4, 2024, through Karol G's social media platforms.[4][5][6][7]
Composition
[edit]"+57" although its title refers to Colombia's telephone number, it is a reggaeton song that explores themes of freedom, desire, and the complexities of romantic entanglements, especially in the context of relationships and attraction.[8]
Critical reception
[edit]"+57" was panned by the critics. The song received criticism due to a line in the song that said: "Mamacita desde los fourteen".[9]
Controversy
[edit]Due to backlash over the line, Karol G issued an apology on November 11, 2024, through her Instagram account, stating: [10]
As artists, we are exposed to public opinion, and to the individual interpretations of people who like us and people who differ with what we do. I feel a lot of frustration for the misinformation that has been given, about the false posts that I have supposedly made and deleted from twitter, an account that I have not used for more than six months. In this case, unfortunately, the lyrics of a song, with which I sought to celebrate the union between artists and put to shine my people … were taken out of context. None of the things said in the song have the direction they have been given, nor was it said from that perspective but I listen, I take responsibility and I realize that I still have a lot to learn. I feel very affected and I apologize from the bottom of my heart.
Billboard magazine commented on her apology, stating: "It’s worth noting that Karol doesn't sing the line about the "14 year old," but rather some of the men on the track, yet she's the one apologizing."
On November 13, the lyric was changed following the backlash, now saying "Mamacita desde los eighteen".[11]
In addition, the Congress of the Republic also gathered signatures for the song to be removed from digital platforms due to the said lyrics.[12]
Music video
[edit]The music video was released alongside the single on November 7, 2024[13] and, as expected, shows the singers in the studio recording the song.
