The single's video was filmed on June 26, 2006 in Sector La Perla, San Juan with reggaeton singer René Pérez (AKA Residente) of the Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Calle 13. Pérez said that the single gave Furtado and Calle 13 the chance to become more popular in Europe, a goal of particular interest for Furtado because she is from a Portuguese family.^[1] The video was directed by Israel Lugo and Gabriel Coss, photographed by Sonnel Velazquez and produced by María Estades.^[2] It was released on September 6 through Furtado's official MySpace page,^[3] and its television premiere was on MTV Tr3s on September 4.^{[citation needed]}
