On May 10, 2019, the singer unveiled the single's name, cover and release date through her respective social media profiles.[5][6] "Nada sale mal" was finally released on May 17. It talks about a girl trying to find a partner. She does only want a short relationship which is a risk for her. The song is mainly pop.
