"No Me Conoce" also appeared on Jhay Cortez's debut album, Famouz, which came out in May 2019 and earned triple-platinum sales. One year later, he collaborated with Bad Bunny on the reggaeton hit "Dakiti," which peaked at Number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 1 on the Hot Latin Songs chart. One year later, he released his second album, Timelezz, and scored another radio hit with the Anuel AA duet "Ley Seca."
