Most artists shoot music videos on closed sets with a handful of crew members and a lot of retakes. Karol G decided a full stadium crowd would work better as an audience than an editing bay.
On August 16, the Colombian superstar surprised fans during her Los Angeles-area residency by bringing Bruno Mars out at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California. The two didn’t just perform their collaboration “Still” together for the first time. They let the cameras roll the entire time, turning a single stadium show into the official music video shoot for the song.
It’s a bold way to make a video, and it fits the story behind the song itself. “Still” sits as track six on Karol G’s sixth studio album, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, which arrived on August 7. The track stands out on the record for one specific reason: it’s the only song on the album performed entirely in English, a rarity for an artist whose career has been built on reggaetón and Spanish-language pop that has topped Latin charts worldwide.
Karol G addressed that choice directly in a TikTok video released ahead of the album’s release. She explained that she didn’t want fans to dismiss the song as simply “her English single,” stressing instead that the track found her at a moment when its lyrics matched exactly what she was feeling. That kind of framing matters for an artist who has spent years proving her Spanish-language material can dominate globally without translation — choosing to sing in English wasn’t a commercial pivot so much as an emotional one.
Bruno Mars co-wrote “Still” with his longtime writing and production team, the same collaborators behind “Runway,” the recent Lady Gaga and Doechii collaboration. That pedigree shows in the finished product: a power ballad built around ’80s-inflected synthwave textures, with a neon-tinted, nostalgic sound that gives the song a different sonic identity than anything else on Karol G’s album. Lyrically, the track leans into unconditional love that survives a breakup, with the two voices trading lines before locking into a soaring, joint chorus.
The pairing arrives at a loaded moment for both artists. Karol G recently ended a three-year relationship with fellow artist Feid, and much of No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto has been described as her most vulnerable and intimate project yet, following 2025’s Tropicoqueta. The album is stacked with high-profile guest features beyond Mars, including Drake on “Ahí,” Judeline and Rusowsky on “Bby WOW,” and Cigarettes After Sex’s Greg Gonzalez on “Después de ti,” a song that already reached the top 10 on the Hot Latin Songs chart.
For Bruno Mars, “Still” adds another entry to a run of collaborations that has kept him constantly visible across genres over the past two years, working with artists from Lady Gaga to Doechii. His vocal delivery on the track has been singled out by early listeners as some of his most restrained and emotionally direct work, a contrast to the more theatrical performances he’s known for.
Filming the video live, in front of a stadium crowd that had no idea Mars was about to walk out, gives “Still” a documentary-style authenticity that a traditional studio shoot can’t replicate. Fans in the crowd that night got to witness the first-ever live performance of the song. Everyone else will get to see it once the footage is edited into the final release.
With the album now out and the video shoot complete, “Still” is positioned as one of the most talked-about tracks on No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto — a song that pushes Karol G into new linguistic territory while giving Bruno Mars fans a fresh reason to pay attention to a Latin pop release.
