History

2022: Pa Que Hablen and Sigan Hablando

In November 2022, Fuerza Regida released a cover of the song "Chuy y Mauricio", titled "Chrysler 300", originally performed by Los Canelos de Durango but popularized by El Potro de Sinaloa.[6] On November 14, they released the single "Prefiero Empedarme", which was released along with a music video uploaded to the group's official YouTube channel. Musically and lyrically, the song talks about spite to the rhythm of a Sinaloan band played and recorded live.[7][8] At the end of November they released the song "911" together with Grupo Frontera, co-written by Horacio Palencia and Edgar Barrera. The launch was accompanied by the release of the official music video, which accumulated 2.5 million views in its first three days of release, remaining in the top 10 videos in Mexico for its first two weeks. According to the television channel Bandamax, the single consolidated Grupo Frontera as one of the new emerging acts in Mexican music and Fuerza Regida as one of the most important bands at the moment.[9] The song was positioned at number 24 on the Hot Latin Songs list.[10]

In December 2022, together with Natanael Cano, they released the hit "Ch y la Pizza", a song with references to drug trafficking in Mexico and mainly directed at "La Chapiza" - hence the name of the song - which is a way of naming to the criminal group that serves the children of Mexican drug lord El Chapo.[11][12] The bosses of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar and Ismael Zambada García are also mentioned,[13] and the theme of Santería is also touched on in a verse sung by Cano, a religion to which he explained that he was not a participant and that at the time of recording the song he had disputes with Ortíz Paz for not wanting to use the phrase.[14] The song was trending on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook and Spotify. The music video accumulated 1.2 million views on its first day, being the sixth most viewed video globally on its opening day.[15] It reached positions on charts such as number 68 on the Billboard Hot 100, number 39 on the Billboard Global 200 and number 9 on Hot Latin Songs, while it was top 10 in Mexico.[16][17][18][19] On December 30, the group released their sixth and seventh studio albums, Pa Que Hablen and Sigan Hablando, each with 13 songs. Both albums contain previously released singles such as "Bebe Dame", "Ch y la Pizza", and "Chrysler 300".[20][21][22]

2023–present: Pa Las Baby's y Belikeada

In the beginning of 2023, Pa Que Hablen and Sigan Hablando charted on the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart, peaking at number five and number six, respectively.[23] In February 2023, to coincide with Valentine's Day, Fuerza Regida and American singer Becky G released "Te Quiero Besar", which is the second time the latter released a song in the regional Mexican music genre, after the remix version of "Ya Acabó" with Mexican group Marca MP.[24] On March 10, the group released a cover of Bobby Pulido's hit single "Desvelado".[25] On May 4, the group collaborated with Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers on the single "Pariente", marking the latter's first appearance in the regional Mexican music genre.[26][27][28][29] Days later, the group released "TQM", which surfaced around TikTok on the day of its release.[30][31] On June 22, the group released "Sabor Fresa".[32]

In July, "Sabor Fresa" peaked at number 3 on the Hot Latin Songs chart, number 16 on the Global 200 and number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100, with "TQM" charting at number five, number 15, and number 34 in each chart, respectively.[33] On July 21, the group released "Tiki Taka Toco" with American production duo Take a Daytrip, to celebrate the 2023 Leagues Cup.[34] On August 22, Fuerza Regida, along with Los Tucanes de Tijuana and Edén Muñoz, released the Spotify-exclusive single "La Tierra del Corrido".[35][36][37] On August 30, the group released "Qué Onda" with Calle 24 and Chino Pacas, which eventually peaked at 67 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking one of Calle 24's first chartings in any Billboard chart.[38] On September 20, the band released "El Jefe" with Colombian singer Shakira, a protest song regarding the issue of labor discrimination.[39][40][41][42] On October 20, Fuerza Regida released their eighth studio album, Pa Las Baby's y Belikeada, which combines several genres and contains collaborations with known artists such as Marshmello, María Becerra, Gabito Ballesteros, among others.[43][44][45][46]
