The song's upbeat melody and rhythm align with its summer-inspired theme, incorporating catchy hooks and vibrant production. It was released by Star Music on November 17, 2023, as the second pre-release single from Talaarawan, following the earlier release of "Karera" (2023).

The song received widespread acclaim for its vibrant sound and summer-inspired energy, with critics praising its catchy appeal and lasting resonance beyond the summer months. This reception, along with its popularity on streaming platforms, helped Bini become Spotify's highest-streamed female OPM artist and the Filipino P-pop group with the most monthly listeners.
