The song was released on April 1, 2020 as the second single from his sophomore studio album 1 of 1, released a month later.[1] It was written by the performer alongside its producers and Joshua Méndez and Ramses Herrera. The track was produced by Jorge Valdes and Miguel Andrés Martínez, better known as Dímelo Flow and Slow Mike. "Relación" became a top ten hit in Panama, Argentina and Spain as well as a very popular song on TikTok. In the United States, the track made it to the twenty-second position on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart.

A remixed version of the song featuring vocals by Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, Rosalía and Farruko, was released on September 4, 2020.[2] It achieved great commercial success, surpassing the chart success of the original song, reaching the top ten position in Argentina, Panama and Spain, among others, and peaked at number one in Mexico. In the United States, it entered the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at 64 and topped the Latin Airplay chart as well as reaching the second position on the US Hot Latin Songs one.

Background

Following the success of Sech's collaboration with Bad Bunny "Ignorantes", the Panamanian singer announced on March 30 that he would be releasing his new single "Relación" on the first of April as a new advance of his upcoming studio album. The song is about female empowerment, in this way, the song reflects again the spite and liberation of a woman in a failed relationship.[3] A music video was uploaded on YouTube the same day the track was released in order to promote the song.[4]

Commercial performance

"Relación" has been named one of the songs of the summer of 2020 by multiple magazines specially after the track became extremely popular on TikTok following a choreography designed by Spanish influencer Samuel López.[5] The audio reached over four million uses on the app in August. Thus, the song entered the Top 50 global Spotify chart, reaching the number one spot on the national streaming lists in many Latin American countries, topping them in Bolivia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Panama and Perú while reaching the top ten in Argentina, Spain and Guatemala.[6] "Relación" became the sixth most listened song in Spain during summer season.[7]
