"La Culpa" is the debut solo single by Mexican-American singer Joel DELEÃ ÂN. It was released on October 21, 2021, by WK Entertainment following DELEÃ ÂN's exit from CNCO in May.
Produced by Orlando Vitto and accompanied on guitar by Joss Favela, the song is a fusion of pop and Mexican regional music. It was composed by DELEà ÂN and his friend Samantha Cámara (daughter of VÃÂctor Cámara). Its lyrics tell about the guilt carried by the protagonist for betraying his girlfriend. The music video depicts Mexican heritage and cowboy-like scenes.
DELEÃ ÂN announced his exit from CNCO in April 2021, citing wishes to "grow and explore new artistic venues". The song was preceded by a last-name change of the artist in an homage to his maternal grandfather, who taught him how to sing and initiated his passion for music.
