J Balvin Embarks On An Arctic Quest To Heal His Soul In His New Video For ‘Amigos’

by

J Balvin‘s new single, “Amigos” features the Colombian superstar making a return to his reggaeton roots. On the new drum-heavy track, Balvin reflects on a lost love, mourning the end of a once-happy relationship. The relationship, however, fell flat, due to both parties getting to accustomed to their day-to-day.

“It wasn’t your fault, but it wasn’t mine either / And maybe it seems crazy, but tell me if I’m wrong / It was our routine’s fault that our love got screwed / and I had to let you go even though it hurt me,” sings Balvin on the song’s chorus, translated from Spanish.

In the song’s accompanying video, directed by Patricia Alfonso, Balvin embarks on a journey to find himself and recover from heartbreak. Balvin makes his way through Matanuska Glacier National Park in Alaska. As he attempts to make his way through the top, he endures the cold, frigid, and rough conditions, before catching a glimpse of the aurora borealis.

Beginning early next year, Balvin will embark on the international Que Bueno Volver A Verte tour. A news release teases “an all-new show with new music where he will see arenas across 20 European cities, with stops in Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Lithuania, Germany, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Portugal, and The United Kingdom.

BIBI And Becky G Pull Off A Seductive Heist In Their Action-Packed ‘Amigos’ Video

Worlds are colliding on this steamy new collaboration. Tonight (November 17), Latin music superstar Becky G has teamed up with K-Pop sensation BIBI for their new single, “Amigos.”

While the two each have men in their lives, they just can’t shake off their past lovers. But their former flames know the drill when their beaus come around.

“I know we had a good time and that you always want more / But if my boyfriend calls, we’re just friends, nothing more,” sing the ladies in Spanish on the song’s chorus, over a punchy, percussive track.

On the track, the hip-hop influence is evident. BIBI has previously discussed her love of hip-hop in an interview with AllKPop.

“Expressing oneself through lyrics is so real and genuine,” BIBI said. “As I’m someone who wasn’t necessarily gifted with natural musical talent — I didn’t even know the difference between boom bap or trap beats until way later. I think the other factors of music organically followed as I grew as an artist.”

In the song’s accompanying video, BIBI and Becky embark on a luxurious heist. The two pay a visit to a lush resort, where they attract the attention of several men. They are latter seen running off with jewelry and stacks off cash, later driving away in a vintage car.

BIBI is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
