I… want you?

Alfred Soto: Stomping her foot and shimmying to a Robyn- and Robin S-indebted chorus given the electrosalsa treatment, Thalia even gives the accordion and sequencer line come-hither looks. Becky G defines “extraneous.”

Iain Mew: I prefer my c.2010 forceful pop productions a bit darker, but I still enjoy how much is going on here, best illustrated by the Calvin Harris drop that merely gets to be a background detail. It helps that Thalía is definitely not messing around.

Will Adams: I’m confused as to why Thalía sounds so tired here, especially in her English portions. Blame the dull midtempo electropop on display, or perhaps the far more vibrant appearance by Becky G.

Juana Giaimo: Let’s start by saying that Becky G will not be enough to bring Thalía back to the radios, and even less with this Spanglish mess. Rather than being catchy, the chorus is too passionate to take it seriously (“I like how you bristle my skin”), while the accordion following it is completely out of place in an electropop song. But the main flaw is that except the chorus, the rest of the song doesn’t seem to have a structure at all. They both want to rap and sing, in both Spanish and English, as if they were trying to outshine the other, but lacking some personality to really do so. As a result, it’s really hard to engage with and, instead, the more I listen to it, the more it puzzles me.

Brad Shoup: A Becky G feature is a great way to show you’re serious. Thalía’s always come across — to me, at least — as someone enamored of another kind of seriousness: rock signifying. There’s definitely a contrast between her summoned composure and the damage Becky does when she rolls through. When the latter shows up, this becomes a pop song. Put “Waiting For Tonight” and your second-favorite J. Lo song together, and you’d have this.

Ramzi Awn: Well, it’s got a hook. “Show me love” is more or less a stale command at this point in time, but “Como Tú No Hay Dos” is fresh enough to make it a negligible point, and the ever-popular accordion riff doesn’t hurt. The frothy production value blends together multiple influences, and I could definitely enjoy a margarita right now. With Penelope Cruz. In the movie Volver. Just sayin’.
