Released on May 23, 2011, the physical version of the single features three limited edition variants of cover art and matching vinyl (in Strawberry, Banana and Chocolate). and consists of an additional instrumental of the song and a b-side, entitled "Black Sundome".
The music video, released May 9 2011, was directed and produced by Luís Cerveró and Spanish production collective, CANADA respectively and features a random series of vignettes and scenes unrelated to one another, intercut with the group and Aguayo performing the song.
The video has been noted, for being visually reminiscent of Spanish musical artist, El Guincho's music video, Bombay (also produced by CANADA.)
