"Volando" (English: "Flying") is a song by Puerto Rican singer Mora from his debut studio album Primer Día de Clases (2022) and it was released on February 5, 2021, through Rimas Entertainment.[1] A remix version of "Volando" featuring Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and Panamanian singer Sech was made available worldwide on July 8, 2021 as a standalone single.[2][3] Gabriel Mora Quintero wrote both the original version and its remix version with contributions from both Benito Martínez and Carlos Williams for the latter version. The production of the two versions were handled by a Colombian producer Sky.

Critical reception

[edit]

According to Billboard, the team of El Conejo noted Mora’s prowess at writing sweet lyrics and his keen eye for singable reggaeton vocals a few years ago. The remix of “Volando” is an appetizer of this blend — and Mora is not shy even among two of the most current Latin music heavyweight holders: Bad Bunny, with his wholehearted lines, and Sech, who brings an R&B soulfulness to the track. Producer Sky Rompiendo also does a great job grasping the emo and pop-punk comeback, creating the infusion of warm guitar riffs into the beat.[4]
