Background
According to Thala, the song "is a sound that suddenly makes you jump out of your skin, a sound that makes you ask, 'Hmm, what is it? pop?' It includes an accordion but suddenly brings in a little bit of Latin sound. What is it? It is a song that also has very good, sensual and bold lyrics. It's intended to make people dance".
Remixes
A reggaeton remix of "Ten Paciencia" featuring Daddy Yankee was also released. This new version was premiered on 29 July in radios and the collaboration was made in order to help "Ten Paciencia"'s performance in charts. On 25 August 2008, a new remix released on radios produced by the reggaeton duo from Puerto Rico Zion y Lennox.
Music video
