Background and composition

[edit]

On December 18, 2024, following the release of Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera's respective albums Pero No Te Enamores and Jugando a Que No Pasa Nada, they announced the release of their EP Mala Mía on social networks, additionally revealing its track list.[1] "Me Jalo" was released the next day, on December 19, as the first track from the EP, which was released for digital download and streaming through Rancho Humilde, Street Mob and Sony Music Latin.[2]

Produced by Édgar Barrera, along with Fuerza Regida members Jesús Ortíz Paz and Moises López, and Miguel Armenta, "Me Jalo" blends the signature styles of Fuerza Regida and Grupo Frontera similar to other songs from Mala Mía.[3][4] In this case, it combines Fuerza Regida's "lovelorn, jaded corridos" with Grupo Frontera's "lively accordion-driven cumbia pop".[5] Lyrically, it revolves around someone in love and everything they can do to demonstrate their feelings and fall in love with their significant other.[6]

Within the tracking week, it earned 8.1 million streams and 7.5 million radio audience impressions in the country.[8]
