Background and composition
On July 11, 2021, the singers mysteriously replied to each other's tweets with snippets of the song, causing fans to conspire about a collaboration.[1] The official announcement of the single, along with a preview, was posted by Emilia on her social media one day before the release, on July 12, 2021.
Emilia said about the song: "It started my new musical era and I feel with it an essence and identity of what I feel I wanted to be. I had the pleasure of sharing it with Duki, who is an artist and a reference that inspires me a lot."[2]
Music video
The shoot of the music video took place in a penthouse in North Miami, Florida. "It is rumored that Frank Sinatra stayed in this penthouse during his best moments, and I thought it was ideal for an intimate encounter between the two artists, immersed in a luxurious vintage aesthetic", said Argentine director Martin Seipel, who also produced some of her previous songs like "Perreito Salvaje".[3][4]
Live performances
On February 24, 2022, Emilia and Duki performed "Como Si No Importara" for the first time at the Premios Lo Nuestro.[5]
