For the remix, Mau y Ricky invited three more female voices. On the Spotify's exclusive behind the scenes, Ricky said "I think it's very important to support female talent, [so] it gets more powerful with the other ladies." Karol G admitted that she was "excited" about the song because it "is loyal to what [she]'s ever wanted with [her] project: give women reasons to feel inspired and great." Leslie Grace stated that "in the music industry, women are getting hold of their territory" and Lali added that "it's time for women to join". Finally, Becky G also expressed her excitement by saying: "we are this younger generation in music, and to be able to share the light is just incredible."{{cite web|url=https://losandes.com.ar/article/view?slug=lali-esposito-con-poca-ropa-y-muy-sensual-en-mi-mala|title=Lali Espósito con poca ropa y muy sensual en "Mi Mala"|work=Los Andes|date=15 February 2018|accessdate=21 February 2018|language=Spanish}}
