Music video



Development and synopsis

, depicting Maluma and Martin partying in a fish tank.

An accompanying pseudo video was released via Maluma's YouTube channel, upon the release of the album. On July 16, 2019, Maluma and Martin shared a photo of themselves on the set of filming "No Se Me Quita" music video with the caption, "Esta combinacin no falla parceros..." ("This combination does not fail..."), announcing that the visual would be released "soon". A few weeks later, on August 28, Maluma shared snippets of the video on Instagram, letting his followers know that it is set for release on August 30, 2019. The visual was released simultaneously with the song's release as a single on the specified date. It was filmed in Miami, Florida, and directed by Nuno Gomes, who had previously directed the videos for Maluma's 2019 singles "HP", "11 PM" and "Instinto Natural".

The video, which is inspired by the American action drama television series 'Baywatch', begins with Maluma and Martin partying on a beach. They are surrounded by several dancing lifeguards in yellow bathing suits, a giant sandcastle, and pink inflatable flamingos. Martin is seen in all white and dances along with the lifesavers. The story goes like Maluma is in love with the beautiful leading lady of the lifeguards and plans a strategy with Martin to get the dark-haired woman's attention and steal a kiss from her. He pours a bucket of cold water over his head to role play being drowned. He pretends to need saving by CPR, falling helplessly on the sand. Also, Martin helps his friend on his mission to get the woman's attention. Finally the woman saves playful Maluma by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. In another scene, Martin and Maluma are dressed in stylish ensembles and party in a fish tank while the women and fish dance around them. Suzy Exposito from 'Rolling Stone' noticed the similarity between the underwater scenes in "No Se Me Quita" and Martin's 2000 music video "She Bangs".

Reception

The music video was met with positive reviews from music critics. NewNowNext's Brandon Voss described it as "eye-popping" and said that it "serves a fishy fantasy for the Latin lovers". Liz Calvario from 'Entertainment Tonight' labeled it "[a] colorful and fun music video" and wrote: "We can't get enough of it." Daniel Megarry from 'Gay Times' called it "sizzling" and 'Entertainment Tonight Canada's Shakiel Mahjouri described it as "visually popping and hip-swaying". Sheila Guzmn from Show News celebrated the visual for showing "the evident good relationship between both interpreters" and appreciated it as "a very summery video, full of yellow and green tones". As of May 2022, the video has received over 200 million views on YouTube.
