Karol G Opens Up About Personal Struggles Surrounding Album Release

Colombian sensation Karol G, known for her hit single “Bichota,” recently shared her emotional journey surrounding the release of her album Mañana Será Bonito in a cover story for Rolling Stone‘s September issue. The album, which unveiled her personal pain following her public split from ex-fiancé Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA, gave her an avenue to process her failed engagement. However, the vulnerability showcased in her music took a toll on her mental well-being, causing her sleep and appetite to suffer in the two weeks leading up to the album’s February release.

Despite the challenges, the album allowed Karol G to reflect on her difficult moments and ultimately find a path to healing. The deluxe version of the album, titled Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season), released on August 11, symbolizes her journey of rebirth and renewal.
