"Cuando Te Besé" is a song by American singer Becky G and Argentine rapper and singer Paulo Londra. Released on August 2, 2018, it was written by Londra, Cristian Salazar and Daniel Echavarría Oviedo. "Cuando Te Besé" was the first song to top the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 chart.
Background and composition On August 1, 2018, Becky G and Londra revealed through their social medias that they would release a musical collaboration titled "Cuando Te Besé", which was published two days after its announcement. The song was written by Paulo Londra, Ovy on the Drums and Cristian Salazar.
"Cuando Te Besé" is described as a romantic urban music track with the sounds of reggaeton, latin R&B and latin pop, adding some latin trap resources. The lyrics talk about a sweet and sensual exchange between two people and the memory of the best kiss they have ever had.
Commercial performance The single debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100, marking Becky G and Londra's first No. 1 on the chart, as well as the first song to top the chart. In the United States, "Cuando Te Besé" debuted at No. 48 on the Hot Latin Songs chart and weeks later peaked at No. 30 on the chart.
Music video The video was directed by Paloma Valencia and produced by 36 Grados. The plot takes place in a car parking lot, where there is a meeting of friends with music and drinks, in which Gomez and Londra connect from the beginning, with looks that lead to an approach, at first distant, but full of tension, and at the time of their approach the two are separated immediately when a police car appears at the site.
Live performances Gomez performed the song at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 14 and 21, 2023.
