Background.
Sasha, a deejay, had released a single entitled "Kill The Bitch" while she was in her teens which was commercially unsuccessful. Her debut studio album, "Come Again" was also a flop. The remix to "Dat Sexy Body", Sasha's first commercially successful single, features the reggaetón singer-songwriter Ivy Queen. As Ivy Queen's fan base continued to grow, she attracted Sasha who invited her to record the song. According to Murray Elias of VP Records: "Ivy Queen is kind of rough and Sasha has a more feminine, playful approach, so those two styles blend well, this could be a breakthrough record for Ivy Queen, where you see the Jamaican market embracing the reggaetón vibe."
