Background

Lead singer Pedro Tovar contacted Peso Pluma to record a song he had written and sang part of it through the phone, instead of sending a recording.

Tovar called working with Pluma "probably one of [his] best collabs" as they got along well in the studio, and stated that he appreciated the collaboration as "it benefited [them] both". Tovar knew that "Ella Baila Sola" would be a hit and had stated that it was his easiest song he has written. Both artists also expressed their surprise at the song's success.[6][7]

Music and lyrics

Lyrically, the song talks about two friends, at a gathering, who see a beautiful woman "dancing alone", which alludes to the song title.[8] The song is a sierreño song and uses instruments such as a guitar, which is used in the requinto. The song also uses tenor horns, the tololoche, and the trombone, which were provided by Peso Pluma.[9][4]

Critical reception

Isabela Raygoza at Billboard stated that the song "comes in hard with a fiery guitar melody that instantly captivates from start to finish, and the vocal interplay between Peso [Pluma] and Eslabón Armado sounds perfect," concluding that "the song will be on the list of the best Latin songs of all time."[10] Rolling Stone named "Ella Baila Sola" as the best song of 2023.[11]
