Karol G Unveils Empowering Anthem "Latina Foreva"
In a bold move to kick off 2025, Colombian star Karol G has released her summer-ready anthem "Latina Foreva", a track that celebrates the powerful energy of Latina women everywhere. The song, which marks Karol G’s first official single of the year, is an unapologetic tribute to the cultural pride and confidence that defines Latina women.
According to Karol G, the song is about embracing all aspects of being Latina, from their curves to their vibrant energy. "The song is about all the aspects of being Latina," Karol tells Rolling Stone. "Our curves, the way we’re the life of the party, and how everyone in the world wants to be with a Latina. I feel like the energy we carry has just been contagious."
Produced by Venezuelan DJ Mazzarri and Finnish artist Misha, "Latina Foreva" is a refreshing blend of early 2000s-inspired reggaeton beats and tantalizing synths perfect for summer. The track features a snippet of Alexa Demie’s hilarious quote: "Why does everyone ask me if I’m Latina, isn’t it obvious?" It also pays homage to the classic 2006 hit "Oye Mi Canto" by Nina Sky.
The music video for "Latina Foreva", directed by Pedro Artola, offers a tongue-in-cheek take on the over-sexualized stereotype that often follows Latina women. Karol G describes the video as "a sarcastic take about how hot us Latinas are." The visual features Karol G and an all-female cast dressed in glittering bikinis and stilettos as they dance in California’s snowy Sierra Nevada peaks. "For Latinas, it’s really important that we’re always ‘on point’ with our outfits," Karol G says. "I wanted that idea to be reflected visually… but the reality is we were freezing to death."
The release of "Latina Foreva" comes on the heels of Karol G’s documentary Tomorrow Was Beautiful, which was released on Netflix earlier this month. To commemorate the film, Karol G shared new song "Milagros," but "Latina Foreva" marks the singer’s first official single of 2025. As Karol G confidently sings on the track, "Now everyone wants a Colombian, a Puerto Rican, a Venezuelan… They’re capricious because no one can please them."
With "Latina Foreva", Karol G is set to make it a "bichota summer", a term that has become synonymous with female empowerment and confidence. As reported by Rolling Stone, the song is a testament to Karol G’s unwavering cultural pride and her commitment to celebrating the strength and beauty of Latina women.
The song and its accompanying music video are a powerful statement about the importance of self-expression and cultural identity. By embracing her heritage and celebrating the energy of Latina women, Karol G is inspiring a new generation of young women to be proud of who they are.
The impact of "Latina Foreva" is already being felt, with fans and critics alike praising the song for its catchy beat and empowering message. As the summer of 2025 heats up, it’s clear that Karol G’s "Latina Foreva" is going to be a major player in the music landscape.
Karol G’s documentary Tomorrow Was Beautiful is available to stream on Netflix, and her music video for "Latina Foreva" can be viewed on YouTube. With her music and message, Karol G is sure to continue inspiring fans around the world.
