WATCH HERE | LISTEN HERE

TORONTO, ON – February 2, 2023 – Global superstars, Maluma and Marc Anthony, have teamed up once again, this time to release a brand-new song, La Fórmula, which is available now, along with its music video. La Fórmula is an exquisite salsa with extraordinary vocals, bittersweet lyrics, and an irresistible rhythm. To stream and/or download La Fórmula, click here.

La Fórmula is Maluma's first new track of 2023 and will be part of his highly anticipated upcoming album due out later this year and kicks off a new era for the Latin icon. The song was written by Juan Luis Londoño Arias (Maluma), Marco Antonio Muñiz (Marc Anthony), Édgar Barrera, Kevin Mauricio Jiménez, Bryan Snaider Lezcano, Justin Quiles, Rene David Cano and Sergio George.

With their successful collaboration on the salsa version of Maluma's smash hit Felices los 4, a close friendship was born between the two. Maluma who has been a huge fan of salsa music since childhood, wanted to work with Marc once again, this time on an original salsa track. While sharing music, Marc fell in love with a pop/urban song that Maluma had recorded and they decided join forces to make it their new collab. They got their creative teams together, resulting in this phenomenal song produced by Sergio George, Marc Anthony, Maluma, The Rude Boys and Édgar Barrera.

The official video for 
La Fórmula was shot at The Hit Factory recording studio in Miami and produced by Royalty Films. It captures what happened in the studio while recording the song: the artists, producers, songwriters and musicians involved and their wonderful rapport as they worked together. The video made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, MTV Biggest Pop and on the Paramount Times Square billboards. Watch  the La Fórmula video here.

Last week, on the heels of a highly successful brand refresh, the Spring/Summer 2023 campaign from BOSS  announced Maluma as one of their new brand ambassadors. Their new campaign, Be your own BOSS,” provides a celebrity-filled exploration of what it takes to become a BOSS, while inspiring others to embrace their full potential and live life on their own terms – with confidence, style and a forward-looking vision. Like Maluma, each of the celebrated and globally recognized talents overcame obstacles and personal struggles to become their own BOSS. These BOSS personalities always knew what they wanted, and their breakthroughs were achieved through a series of personal choices. While destined for greatness, they neatly personify the fact that BOSSes aren’t born – they’re made.

The Colombian superstar recently received eight Premio Lo Nuestro nominations that range from urban to regional Mexican, highlighting his versatility as an artist. His nominations include: Pop - Male Artist Of The Year; Song Of The Year for Cada Quien with Grupo Firme; The Perfect Mix Of The Year for Cada Quien with Grupo Firme; Tour Of The Year; Pop - Song Of The Year for Sobrio; Pop-Urban - Song Of The Year for Mama Tetema ft. Rayvanny; Urban - Album Of The Year for The Love & Sex TapeRegional Mexican - Banda Song Of The Year for Cada Quien with Grupo Firme.
