Background

Following the success of Sech's collaboration with Bad Bunny "Ignorantes", the Panamanian singer announced on March 30 that he would be releasing his new single "Relación" on the first of April as a new advance of his upcoming studio album. The song is about female empowerment, in this way, the song reflects again the spite and liberation of a woman in a failed relationship.{{Cite web|title=Sech con tema de empoderamiento femenino|url=http://elsiglo.com.pa/espectaculos/sech-tema-empoderamiento-femenino/24153907|access-date=2020-08-29|website=El Siglo|language=es}} A music video was uploaded on YouTube the same day the track was released in order to promote the song.{{Cite web|last=Cejas|first=Marilyn|date=2020-04-02|title=Sech estrena sencillo y videoclip de "Relación"|url=https://www.telemetro.com/musica/2020/04/02/sech-estrena-sencillo-videoclip-relacion/2738610.html|access-date=2020-08-29|website=Telemetro|language=es}}
