Concept

<templatestyles src="Template:Blockquote/styles.css" />

The name of the album is a phrase I kept repeating to myself when nothing felt great. Every day I'd say to myself, 'It's okay, tomorrow will be beautiful'.

— Karol G explaining the name of the album.[8]

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Karol G revealed the concept for the title, stating: "This definitely represents a specific phase of my life. The name of album is a phrase I kept repeating to myself when nothing felt great. I mean, I was going through the best moment of my career, but personally I was really disconnected from myself and from my friends. I wasn't unhappy, but I wasn't happy either. So every day I'd say to myself, 'It's okay, mañana será bonito, tomorrow will be beautiful.'"[8]

In a later interview with The New York Times, she described the album as "more Carolina than Karol G". She added: "Right now, I notice that artists are trying very hard to find a concept, to be very experimental, I love that. And that's a good way to do art. But the concept of this album is just me being me. I really didn't want people to feel it was like very simple, or just normal."[7]

Giraldo's ability to connect with the listener was praised multiple times. Rolling Stone stated, “Karol's voice is open and warm, blessed with a laid-back purity that is rare in the raucous urbano field. [Like] any global diva worth her salt, Karol engineers the fickle illusion that she’s addressing you, the listener, directly — whether evoking unfulfilled desire for a past lover or compiling a list of future erotic delights." The Guardian followed with "The lyrics are generally of boozy lust and thwarted longing, [but] Karol's skill is in evocative melodies that transcend any language barrier."

Production from Ovy on the Drums was also applauded on the Rolling Stone review, calling him a “digital architect able to inject a sense of purpose into the most tired reggaeton back beat. [It's] nimble and cool, kinetic and futuristic.”
