"+57" is a song by all-Colombian singers Karol G, Feid and DFZM featuring Ovy on the Drums, J Balvin, Maluma, Ryan Castro and Blessd. It was released on November 7, 2024, through Bichota Records and Interscope. The song was written by all the performers and Keityn, and produced by Ovy on the Drums. The title of the song refers to the Colombian telephone prefix.
The song was announced on November 4, 2024, through Karol G's social media platforms.
"+57" although its title refers to Colombia's telephone number, it is a reggaeton song that explores themes of freedom, desire, and the complexities of romantic entanglements, especially in the context of relationships and attraction.
Writing in a negative review for Rolling Stone en Español, MartÃÂn Toro cited "+57" as "disappointing" and stated that the song, "despite the presence of so many talented artists, none manage to stand out in a memorable way. The song's structure, based on repetitive verses and generic lines, prevents each singer's individual qualities from shining through."
The song also received criticism and controversy due to a lyric in the song that said: "Mamacita desde los fourteen". Due to that, on November 11, 2024, Karol G issued an apology through her Instagram account, stating:
Billboard magazine commented on her apology, stating: "It's worth noting that Karol doesn't sing the line about the "14 year old," but rather some of the men on the track, yet she's the one apologizing."
Following the backlash, on November 13, the lyric was changed, now saying "Mamacita desde los eighteen".
In addition, the Congress of the Republic also gathered signatures for the song to be removed from digital platforms due to the said lyrics.
The music video was released alongside the single on November 7, 2024. It shows all the singers in the studio recording the song.
