Background and release
The group first performed the track live at Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 30, 2022, as part of their Forever Tour. The song was officially released on August 19, 2022, and was originally intended to be a part of an EP the group had in the works. It is the group's first spanglish song and was originally titled "Dale Allá". However, Maffio decided to change "Allá" to "Ya" so it would be easier to pronounce for those who didn't speak spanish. Due to the group's large fanbase in Latin America and South America, they always "wanted to do something to give back." Carlos PenaVega was introduced to Maffio and flew out to Miami, after Big Time Rush went on hiatus in 2014. They wrote a couple of songs together and PenaVega knew that if the band ever got back together, they would use these songs he wrote with Maffio.In August 2022, they performed the track at the Nickelodeon Mexico Kids' Choice Awards. On October 7, 2022, the group released another version of the song featuring Cuban reggaeton duo, Gente de Zona.
