"Bichota" is a song by Colombian singer-songwriter Karol G.

Background
The song was first teased days prior to an announcement through Karol G's social media platforms with the letter 'B' and an emoji of 'coming soon'. The song was officially announced on October 19, 2020, with a teaser for the music video.[3] The single cover art shot by photographer Alfredo Flores, was revealed the following day.

The word "Bichota" comes from the Puerto Rican slang bichote.[4] A "bichote" is an individual who due to his economic or political position, is considered important or influential, generally related to the sale of drugs. Despite this, Karol G gave the word a new meaning. She stated: "A moment of feeling sexy, flirtatious, daring, strong, empowered, and to a certain extent, translates into personal motivation and self-confidence. We are all super 'Bichotas' inside. It’s about believing and working so that the rest of the world can see it too."[5]
Critical reception
Billboard stated how the song set the tone for the album, saying: "She came headstrong on the Billboard Hot 100-charting banger with a fierce attitude, fierce beats, and fierce lyrics."[6]
