"Desde Esa Noche" is a Latin pop and reggaeton song, with banda and norteño influences, as well as mariachi horns and cumbian accordion.

On December 16, 2015, Thalía posted on her Instagram account a picture with record producer Sergio George, with the caption: "R u ready for the hit of the year?!?!.

[4] Lyrically, the song talks about a sensual encounter between two people that could transform in something else, with the singers trading lines, such as: "Desde esa noche solo pienso en ti" ("From that night I only think about you") and "Me muero por tenerte aquí, pero me da miedo enamorarme de ti" ("I'm dying to have you here, but I'm scared of falling in love with you").

[6] Nichole Fratangelo of Latina praised the track, writing that "the song shows off both of the singers' killer voices and has a beat thats enough to get anyone up and out of their chair.

"[9] Thom Jurek of AllMusic picked it as one of the album's highlights, and noted that "the skittering beats and pulsing bassline are exhortations to the dancefloor.

"[8] The staff from the website FMBox commented that "creative and bold, Thalia surprises us with an unexpected jewel that will serve as an introduction to her upcoming album that is guaranteed to make everyone dance".

[14] In Mexico, the song managed to reach number three, becoming her highest charting single since "Por Lo Que Reste De Vida" (2014).

"[21] Thalia and Maluma performed the song live for the first time in Premios Lo Nuestro Awards, an event that took place on February 18, 2016.
