- Karol G's "BbY WOW," co-written and performed with Judeline and Rusowsky, reached No. 1 on both Spotify and the Billboard Global 200, with 78 million Spotify listens and 37 million YouTube views
- Judeline co-wrote "BbY WOW" and holds writing credits on three other tracks on Karol G's album "No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto": "Matadora," "Te Llevas To," and "Final Feliz"
- Judeline told Rolling Stone the songwriting process with Karol G was "organic" and "therapeutic," noting they were both going through similar emotional experiences at the time
- "Final Feliz" originated from a heartbreak-themed session Judeline had with Tyler Spy, which she later shared with Karol G, who recorded it after going through similar experiences of her own
- Judeline said the song's Coolie Dance Riddim sample carries a "sad reggaeton" quality that lets both clubgoers and the brokenhearted connect with it
- Judeline revealed she has taken her first acting role in the Los Javis film "La Bola Negra" and said Spain is having "a super nice year" across sports, music, and film
Why it matters: Judeline, a relatively emerging Spanish artist, now holds writing credits on four tracks of a Karol G album that produced a global No. 1 — unusual access that positions her as a cross-genre collaborator worth watching. Her first acting role in La Bola Negra suggests she's positioning herself as a multi-hyphenate, not a one-off feature.
