In a recent interview with MTV, the Colombian singer recently spoke about the songs on her current playlist. When asked to name a song on the playlist by an artist she hopes to collaborate with, Karol G picked BLACKPINK’s ‘How You Like That’, before recalling a time when they had a chance have worked together.

“I have to say a short story. When I launched ‘Tusa’ with Nicki Minaj, in my mind I had a remix that we never tried,” she said. “If I would’ve done a remix, I would’ve done it with BLACKPINK. We never tried because of COVID things. We spoke, but that would’ve been like, the remix of life.”
