Release and reception"Tenía Razón" was released on July 12, 2022, through Young[5] and became famous as part of the EA Sports FIFA 23 soundtrack.[6] A review describes that Daniela Lalita "sounds sugar-sweet at first, but twists her half sung-half rapped vocals as soon as the loping Arca-influenced shuffle stumbles into frame. Then she turns into a choir, alternating between high pitched squeals and sultry low register sensuality over her Buchla wobbles and chaotic drum meshes".[7] Other reviews compared her vocals to Kate Bush[8] or "primal chanting"[9] and emphasize that the song "leaves you with a lot of intrigue to learn more about the singer and her mystical world of sound".[10][11] Music videoThe music video for "Tenía razón", released on the same date as the single, was directed by Daniela Lalita herself. The choreography by her and Isabel Legate involves her mother Pilar Secada and represents "her innermost thoughts, which she described as 'way to personify these inner dialogues while giving space to a lot of my visual influences and recreating dreams I’ve had.'" She explains "in psychoanalysis, dreams are the key to your subconscious"; "it's mainly about mental health and inner battles, dealing with trauma".[12] The video shows her "with a group of women whose trance-like movements recall the choreography of Pina Bausch".[13] Track listing and formatsCredits and personnelMusicians
