Background and release

edit

On December 16, 2015, Thalía posted on her Instagram account a picture with record producer Sergio George, with the caption: "R u ready for the hit of the year?!?!."[2] Later, on January 4, 2016, she posted another picture with him, explaining: "Trying to decide on the percussion rhythm of a song. Those moments in the studio, when one is producing a new song, discussing ideas and mixing musical styles are the ones we singers love!."[2] On January 25, 2016, Thalia started to tease a new single through her social media, claiming that she would release new music "soon".[2] She kept posting the lyrics to the single throughout the week,[2] until it was released on January 29, 2016.[1]

In an interview with Billboard, Thalía commented about the song: "From the first moment I heard the song I said, 'This is a hit.' When Sergio and I worked on the arrangement, I wanted to include Mexican trumpets and he wanted the song to have a reggaeton base. Then I felt I needed an accomplice, someone to sing it to me and of course have me responding to him. Hence the idea to have Maluma came about."[3]

Composition

edit

"Desde Esa Noche" was written by María Adelaida Agudelo, Pablo Uribe, Mauricio Rengifo, Sergio George and Maluma, and was produced by George and co-produced by Armando Ávila.[4] It is a Latin pop and reggaeton song,[5][6] with "mariachi horns and cumbian accordion,"[7] as well as "banda/norteño flourishes."[8] Its instrumentation consists in accordion, horns, trumpets and guitars.[4] Lyrically, the song talks about a sensual encounter between two people that could transform in something else, with the singers trading lines, such as: "Desde esa noche solo pienso en ti" ("From that night I only think about you") and "Me muero por tenerte aquí, pero me da miedo enamorarme de ti" ("I'm dying to have you here, but I'm scared of falling in love with you").[6]

It's a milestone for an artist who has nothing left to prove to make this option."[11]
