Songfacts®:

  • This laid-back bilingual track finds Kali Uchis lamenting that "the moon is full, my bed is empty" and wonders about making love telepathically. "I wrote this song about spiritually being with someone I physically couldn't, and while making it I sent healing telepathic love to all," the Colombian-American singer explained.
  • Kali Uchis recorded the romantic song for Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios), her first album predominantly sung in Spanish.
  • The song began climbing the charts after it became the subject of a viral trend on TikTok. A lip-sync challenge found users attempting to croon the song's mixed English and Spanish first verse.
  • The song was Kali Uchis' first entry on the Hot 100 as a lead artist. Her only previous appearance on the chart was as guest vocalist on Daniel Caesar's "Get You," which peaked at #93 in 2018.
  • Kali Uchis debuted the song's self-directed video on March 18, 2021. Shot in her hometown of Pereira, Colombia, the clip showcases the singer's Colombian roots as she travels around Pereira by bicycle.

    "The song happened so naturally and I wanted the video to reflect that," Uchis said. "Nothing overproduced, just the beautiful natural magic of the country I have had the honor of also calling home my entire life, Colombia."
