The song was written by Ángel Ureta, Daniel Gutiérrez, Diego Millán, Jonathan Caro, Jesús Ortíz Paz and Miguel Armenta, and was produced by Ángel Tumbado y Jimmy Humilde.

Music video
A music video for the song was uploaded on June 22, on the group's official YouTube channel, and was produced by Ortíz Paz and Jimmy Humilde. The video stars the members of the band, [4] where they who is seen at party in a mansion with women. Ortíz Paz plays as a plastic surgeon, who treats these women in his office at the beginning of the video clip. He also, during the video, crushes a purple tarantula and when he drags his foot he leaves a blood stain of the same color. This gesture was related to Mexican singer Peso Pluma, who used tarantulas and the color purple as part of the aesthetic of his album Génesis,[5] released on the same day as the "Sabor Fresa" release. Therefore, it was assumed that there might have been a feud between them despite having shared the success of "Igualito a Mi Apá".[6][7] The video accumulated 1.4 million views on YouTube.[8][9]
