They are seen dancing, skiing, snowboarding, and riding snowmobiles in the peaks of Sierra Nevada, and spending time at a ski resort's jacuzzi.[7][3] Karol G wears an emerald green, sequin-trimmed bikini that was made by Mexican fashion designer Mitzy and originally worn by Mexican vedette Rossy Mendoza.[9] The music video also features a cameo from flamenco guitarist Jose Del Tomate.[5]
