Becky G and Karol G’s “MAMIII” has been one of this year’smost successful Latine collaborations yet. From landing No. 15 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and No. 4 on Billboard’s Global 200 singles chart, it’s clear that the two artists have been thriving with this long-awaited collaboration. While the G’s team up felt overdue, it was always on Becky G’s mind – and in a recent interview, she talked all about how the female anthem “MAMIII” came to be.

A part of me feels like I can learn something so I gravitate towards that naturally. And it was funny because when I wasn’t looking for it was when ‘MAMIII’ happened,” Becky G told Zane Lowe of Apple Music. After “constantly making the intention to connect” but not being able to because of busy schedules, it finally happened. It finally all came together because she was working on her upcoming album ESQUEMAS when Ovy On The Drums came by the studio with ideas. He presented her with a demo of “MAMIII,” which Becky G liked and recorded a verse for. A few days later, Ovy worked with Karol G, and it all aligned for the two G’s.
