With production being handled by Dímelo Flow alongside Jvy Boy and Keytin, "Sigues Con Él" is a reggaeton song where, thematically, a woman refuses to leave an unsatisfied relationship. "Sigues Con Él" was a global success, topping the US Latin Airplay and Latin Rhythm Airplay charts and peaking within the top 10 in eight countries.

In 2020, it received a Latin music octuple-platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Background and composition

After Arcángel released his third studio album Ares, which contained Latin trap material, he would end his contract with Pina Records in 2019.^[1][2] He later began teasing his fourth album Historias de un Capricornio through interviews and by releasing a few singles.^[3] One of its singles, "Sigues Con Él", was released for digital download and streaming on December 13, 2019, through Rimas Entertainment.^[4]

"Sigues Con Él" is a reggaeton song, with the lyrics talking about a woman who refuses to leave a dissatisfied relationship. Alluding to the song title, the singers use the lyric "¿Por qué sigues con él?" ("Why are you still with him?"), in the chorus, as a way of asking the woman why she is still with her partner.^[5] A remix version of "Sigues Con Él", which adds a verse by American singer Romeo Santos, was released on April 10, 2020, through Rimas Entertainment. It serves as one of the singles from Arcángel's fifth studio album Los Favoritos 2 (2020).^[6][7] Further, it includes incorporations of tropical music.^[8]
