Karol G just scored another global number one with “BbY WOW,” teaming up with Spanish artists Judeline and Rusowsky off her sixth album “No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto.” The track hit the top spot on Spotify’s Daily Top Songs Global chart, her second time reaching that milestone after “TQG.”
What started as a solo cut turned into a three-way collaboration almost by accident. Karol wanted a fuller, party atmosphere for the song, so she brought in Rusowsky first, then Judeline, who ended up co-writing the track with her during a studio session back in February.
Judeline’s involvement runs deeper than just a feature too. She co-wrote four songs across the whole album, and she’s talked about how her own perspective on love shaped the writing process, pushing Karol toward a rawer, more emotionally complex place.
The production blends R&B and dancehall influences, built by a team that includes Tainy and Omer Fedi, the same producer behind Sam Smith’s “Unholy.” That combination gives the track an immediate, danceable pulse even while the lyrics sit in something heavier.
Karol sings from a vulnerable place here, caught between lingering desire and the confusion of missing someone who’s gone. Fans have connected the dots to her split from Feid, especially since “Wow” happens to be one of his signature ad-libs.
For Judeline and Rusowsky, this collaboration marks their first-ever number one, a massive leap for both emerging Spanish artists onto the global stage. The song’s success has opened doors neither had reached before this moment.
By the end, “BbY WOW” plays like a genuine crossover moment, three different corners of the Latin and Spanish alternative scenes meeting in one track that’s resonating worldwide.
