"Volví" ( English: "I came back/I've returned") is a song by the American bachata group Aventura and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny. It was released on August 3, 2021 by Rimas Entertainment. [5] "Volví" blends bachata and reggaeton, with a merengue típico outro, along with some elements of pop and ballad. It reached number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's highest-charting song in the country. [6]
In early August 2021, Aventura shared a preview of the song on Twitter, announcing the collaboration, with Bad Bunny posting stills from the video as well as a photo of him with the members of Aventura on his Instagram page. [7]
"Volví" combines bachata guitar licks with reggaeton drums. [8] The outro is merengue típico, played on güira, tambora, and guitar. [3] The lyrics feature themes of intimacy and jealousy, telling the story of a person who wants to come back with an ex. [9] [10]
Zoe Haylock of Vulture.com commended the collaboration, "not just for bringing together crushes past and present but for combining the two genres from each country." [9] In Remezcla, Jennifer Mota compared the genre blending to " Ella y Yo", by Aventura featuring Don Omar, "for today's pop audience". [3]
Commercially, "Volví" reached number 22 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's highest-charting song in the country. [6] It also marked Aventura's third number-one on the US Hot Latin Songs, and first since " Dile al Amor" in 2010, while becoming Bad Bunny's ninth chart-topper. The song reached number 11 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. [11]
The music video was released on August 3, 2021, along with the song. In the video, Aventura and Bad Bunny perform the song on a "packed" dance floor, [12] while a couple who dances together leaves for an intimate space at the end of the night. [13]
On August 14, 2021, Aventura and Bad Bunny performed the song live for the first time at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. [14]
