Songfacts®:

• "Still" is a lush, synth-pop ballad where Karol G and Bruno Mars imagine a love so deep, it survives even when the relationship doesn't. Harmonizing over an all-English track, the two singers lay out the song's emotional core in a single line: "I still love you even with a broken heart."
• In the song, Karol imagines her partner breaking up with her. If he walks away, she promises she will still sleep in his sweater, keep his letters, and love him through the heartbreak. It's romantic devotion with a surprising amount of advance planning; most people at least wait for the breakup before deciding what to do with their ex's clothes.
• Karol flew out to meet Mars while he was on tour and spent two days in the studio with him, tweaking lyrics while Mars directed her vocal performance. "He was kind of directing my vocal delivery, my pronunciation," she explained to Rolling Stone.
  
  Mars encouraged her to keep her signature accent while ensuring the English diction stayed crystal clear. It was a grueling session: the duo worked straight from 7 p.m. until 9 a.m. the following morning.
• "Still" is Bruno Mars' first duet with Karol G, though he is no stranger to high-profile female collaborations, having previously teamed up with the likes of Cardi B ("Finesse" and "Please Me"), Lady Gaga ("Die With A Smile") and Rosé ("APT.").
• Karol and Mars co-wrote "Still" alongside Sasha Alex Sloan, Isabel LaRosa, and Thomas LaRosa. Production was handled by Thomas LaRosa and Mars' longtime production partner, D'Mile, alongside Karol and Bruno.
  
  The track started when the LaRosa siblings (Isabel, a Cuban-American dark-pop artist, and her older brother Thomas, who has produced most of her catalog) pitched the demo to Karol's team, and Karol connected with it. The song was passed to Mars, who loved the concept and jumped on board to polish the lyrics and production. Given that Thomas LaRosa rarely produces for outside artists, "Still" was a rare placement for the duo.
• "Still" is Track 6 on Karol G's sixth album, No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, which translates as I Don't Regret Feeling So Much. Karol described the 14-track project as an "incredible emotional journey" that opens "a door for my fans to a more intimate Carolina."
  
  That introspective feel stemmed from solo hikes she took through the Hawaiian mountains in November 2025. The experience forced her to confront the isolation that often accompanies fame. She later dubbed this period her "Sad Bichota" era, a deliberate shift away from the vibrant, tropical sounds of her 2025 album Tropicoqueta toward something far more stripped-back and vulnerable.
  
  "I'd rather suffer because I lived too much - because I loved too much, because I had too much fun - than to not have had those experiences, she told Elle of the album's ethos. "I'm inviting everyone to be a little more dramatic, a little more extra."
• Considering the timing, fans naturally linked "Still" to Karol's breakup with Colombian reggaeton star Feid, whom she dated for three years before their amicable split in early 2026. Karol discussed the emotional fallout of that breakup in interviews with Playboy and Elle, but she has never named Feid as the subject of "Still." Because the initial demo was penned by the LaRosas, the song wasn't conceived as a personal diary entry. Karol felt the track simply reflected her exact emotional state when she heard it. While the fan theories linking the song to Feid are understandable, "Still" is best read as a broader reflection of the heartbreak explored throughout No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto.
• "Still" marks a milestone as the first entirely English-language song on one of Karol G's own albums, distinct from 2021's "Don't Be Shy," where she appeared as a featured guest on Tiësto's single. Addressing the song in a TikTok video, she explained that she has always been open to singing in English as long as it feels natural rather than forced.
  
  "I listened to it constantly," she admitted. "I tried to overthink it, but it was perfect."
• The music video for "Still" was shot at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, during Karol G's Viajando Por El Mundo Tropitour. It captures the song's surprise live debut on August 15, 2026, when Bruno Mars took an unannounced detour from his own tour to join her on stage.
  
  Shot mostly in black and white, the video switches to full color right as Karol and Bruno step out on stage for the live duet. The monochrome opening focuses on behind-the-scenes moments: the two laughing together in empty stadium seats, zipping through the venue corridors on a go-kart, trading lines in the green room, and running through the song backstage with an acoustic guitar.
  
  Pedro Artola and Daniel Ramos co-directed the project. Ramos has plenty of experience capturing Mars' visual style, having previously co-directed the videos for both "Die With A Smile" and "APT." with Mars in 2025.
  
  The video racked up over a million YouTube views within hours of dropping. It also sparked plenty of chatter on social media after Mars left a cheeky comment on Karol G's Instagram post: "That doesn't seem like acting to me, Carolina," a line fans jumped on as a nod to their on-camera chemistry.
