Singer, songwriter, and acclaimed actress Isabela Merced release the Spanish version of her latest single “Don’t Go” alongside Mexican actress, singer, and model Danna Paola.
Isabela co-wrote the hit song with Andrés Torres and Mauricio Rengifo (“Despacito”) and joined forces with fellow superstar, singer, and actress Danna Paola to bring it to life as a powerful duo. Bridging the gap between cultures and styles, the track incorporates salsa and chanteo as it culminates with a massive and magnetic pop chorus that reflects Isabela’s impressive vocal range. To add another dimension to this hymn, the artist also shares an unforgettable and dramatic music video directed by award-winning choreographer, star dancer, creative director, producer, and filmmaker Galen Hooks [Camila Cabello, Justin Bieber, Janet Jackson]. You can enjoy the original video.
Speaking of the official music video, Isabela says: “The video is a fantasy that plays with those primitive instincts that are activated when we feel betrayed. We recorded it in two locations: Danna’s part was shot in Mexico and mine at the Houdini Mansion in Los Angeles. We wanted the air to be a bit dated, while still adding our visual touch to it. My favorite elements, in homage to my Peruvian roots, are the lemon green dress inspired by the braids of the Peruvian ñustas and the golden jewelry of the Inca princesses, with some authentic pieces from my country. Also don’t miss the appearance of Pluto, my three-legged dog, plus all the dancing!
