Karol G's 'BbY WOW' a Global Smash, Judeline Shares Story

Karol G's club track "BbY WOW" has rapidly ascended global music charts, securing the number one position on Spotify and the Billboard Global 200. The song has garnered significant streaming numbers, with 78 million listens on Spotify and 37 million views on YouTube, continuing to grow its audience.

This chart-topping success was a collaborative effort, featuring Spanish producer-artist Rusowsky and singer-songwriter Judeline. Judeline, a key collaborator from Karol G's album 'No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto,' co-wrote "BbY WOW" and contributed to three other tracks. She expressed surprise at the song's colossal hit status, noting that while she anticipated good performance due to Karol G's reach, the overwhelming connection with listeners was unexpected.

Judeline shared that her songwriting sessions with Karol G were very organic and therapeutic, fostered by a shared emotional and life stage. She found the experience comfortable, allowing her freedom to express herself and connect with Karol G on a vulnerable artistic level. This dynamic also extended to other collaborations on the album, such as "Final Feliz," which originated from Judeline's personal heartbreak before being shared with and recorded by Karol G.

The iconic Coolie Dance Riddim sample in "BbY WOW" contributes to its danceable nature, yet Judeline identified a deeper, universal appeal in its blend of celebratory rhythm with a "sad reggaeton" sensibility, resonating with listeners experiencing heartbreak.

Beyond music, Judeline recently ventured into acting, appearing in the Spanish film 'La Bola Negra.' She expressed newfound interest in acting and pride in Spain's recent cultural achievements across sports, music, and film. Following her tour, Judeline plans to focus on creative immersion, seeking inspiration from art, movies, music, and books for her next artistic era.
