Written by Rosalía, Balvin, Aury "Mariachi Budda" Pineda, el Guincho, Frank Dukes, Teo Halm, and Sky Rompiendo and produced by the last four alongside the Spanish singer, the song was released by Columbia Records on 28 March 2019.

[1] "Con altura" peaked at number one in six countries, many of them Latin American, and started the ascent of Rosalía into the international music scene.

Rosalía made history after winning two MTV Video Music Awards for Best Latin and Best Choreography as she became the first ever Spanish-winning artist at the ceremony.

In September 2018, Rosalía stayed a couple days in Miami due to her performance at the Ziff Ballet Opera House to celebrate her five Latin Grammy nominations.

[11] The song includes a talked sample of Dominican influencer Mariachi Budda, which Rosalía eventually found on the Internet spontaneously and had coined and registered the phrase "Con altura".

Those rumors were confirmed by Rosalía herself when she finally announced the song's release on 27 March 2019 through a social media post.

[13] As well as Rosalía and J Balvin, the songwriters are Frank Dukes, Teo Halm, Alejandro Ramírez and el Guincho.

In Ellen Rebecca Bishwell's article, a PhD Researcher in Modern Languages at Newcastle University, she highlights how Reggaeton belongs to the Afro-Caribbean music genre, emphasizing its rich history and cultural mixtures [29].

The media, including platforms like Billboard’s “Growing Up Latino” web series [30], has enabled Rosalía to bypass scrutiny for her actions, portraying her as a Latina woman despite her European background.

[23] Starting 9 July, it became the most-viewed music video by a female artist of 2019, a record previously held by Ariana Grande's "7 Rings".
