The messages were considered vulgar, misogynistic, and homophobic toward several individuals and groups, including Ricky Martin. Therefore, Martin, Bad Bunny, Residente and several other artists, and more than half a million Puerto Ricans led the call to take to the streets of Puerto Rico, demanding Rosselló's resignation.{{Cite web|url=https://www.elnuevodia.com/noticias/locales/nota/marchadelpueblopuertoricoclamalarenunciadelgobernadorricardorossello-2507138/|title=Marcha del pueblo: Puerto Rico clama la renuncia del gobernador Ricardo Rosselló|date=July 22, 2019|work=El Nuevo Dia|access-date=March 11, 2021|archive-date=October 15, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191015070647/https://www.elnuevodia.com/noticias/locales/nota/marchadelpueblopuertoricoclamalarenunciadelgobernadorricardorossello-2507138/|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last1=Serrano|first1=Oscar J.|title=WhatsApp Gate 2.0: Nuevo chat expone a la Administración Rosselló|url=https://www.noticel.com/ahora/gobierno/whatsapp-gate-20-nuevo-chat-expone-a-la-administracion-rossello/1093250289|website=NotiCel|access-date=July 19, 2019|language=es|date=July 13, 2019|archive-date=July 27, 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190727235312/https://www.noticel.com/ahora/gobierno/whatsapp-gate-20-nuevo-chat-expone-a-la-administracion-rossello/1093250289|url-status=live}}{{cite magazine| url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/8523379/puerto-rican-artists-ricky-martin-residente-bad-bunny-governor-resignation-protests| title=Puerto Rican Artists Ricky Martin, Residente & Bad Bunny Are Agents of Change Calling for Governor's Resignation| magazine=Billboard| access-date=March 11, 2021| date=July 22, 2019| archive-date=January 27, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210127083545/https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/latin/8523379/puerto-rican-artists-ricky-martin-residente-bad-bunny-governor-resignation-protests| url-status=live}} Martin started recording his eleventh studio album, initially titled Movimiento, in the second half of 2019, inspired by the political protests in Puerto Rico.{{cite magazine| url=https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/latin/8549431/ricky-martin-talks-puerto-rico-protests| title=Ricky Martin Finds Inspiration in Puerto Rico Protests: 'The People Will Rise Up More Than Ever'| magazine=Billboard| access-date=February 2, 2021| date=January 28, 2020| archive-date=February 4, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210204192249/https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/columns/latin/8549431/ricky-martin-talks-puerto-rico-protests| url-status=live}}

Residente also told El Nuevo Día about the collaboration, saying it "continues to show the union through music and within a circle of different generations that represent our culture and heritage", going on to call the song "an incredible experience to integrate 'Mi Gente' a song with a rich history from its creation in Africa to its global impact". "Cántalo" marked the first collaboration between Martin and the two other artists, while Residente and Bad Bunny had previously worked on the 2019 singles "Bellacoso" and "Afilando los cuchillos" together.{{cite news| url=https://www.ladepeche.fr/2019/11/13/ricky-martin-convoque-residente-et-bad-bunny-sur-son-nouveau-single-cantalo,8539475.php| title=Ricky Martin convoque Residente et Bad Bunny sur son nouveau single 'Cántalo'| work=La Dépêche du Midi| access-date=March 13, 2021| date=November 13, 2019| archive-date=March 13, 2021| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210313120956/https://www.ladepeche.fr/2019/11/13/ricky-martin-convoque-residente-et-bad-bunny-sur-son-nouveau-single-cantalo,8539475.php| url-status=live}}

Its production was handled by Residente and Trooko, and the song features elements of trap, hip-hop, Latin pop, jazz, and bossa nova.
