"Nel" was released as the second track from Fuerza Regida's eighth studio album Pero No Te Enamores (2024), on July 25, 2024.[4] Billboard named it the best track off the album, stating that it "not only challenges genre boundaries but also solidifies Fuerza Regida's position as fearless innovators in the Latin music scene, unafraid to evolve and provoke".[5]
