Prior to their energetic performance, the two Mexican stars shared that a “TQUM” remix with German singer-songwriter
is coming soon. “It was so weird,” Paola, who nabbed the Premios Juventud award for female artist on the rise, toldReyes explained that they approached her after they noticed that Petras was listening to “TQUM” on her Instagram stories. Both Reyes and Danna have been fans for a while. “I’ve been following Kim Petras for a long time, before she even got famous,” Danna said. “She’s a woman I admire and who represents me in so many ways, through her music, her artistic expression. She genuinely began using our song in her Stories, and Sofia and I were shocked. We wrote to her on Instagram DMs, and she said she felt honored and wanted to do the remix. We talked to her, and we had the most epic FaceTime with her at the studio — she even cried.
Marking Reyes and Paola’s first-ever collaboration, “TQUM” — released in March as Reyes’ first single off her upcoming album — is an abbreviation for “te quiero un monton .” The ultra-pop song finds the Mexican stars reminiscing on good times with a significant other who’s already moved on. But “now that I really think about it, I love you a bunch and it’s not easy. I was so blind that I couldn’t see what went wrong. How did I lose you but still keep loving you,” they sing.
