Background and composition
The song was inspired by a trip the singer took to Maasai Mara reserve in Kenya, where she was touched by a vocal performance of some of the locals. After that, Karol G connected with Linda Goldstein, the producer of "Don't Worry, Be Happy" by Bobby McFerrin, to sample it. Goldstein crafted the intricate vocal arrangements of "Mientras Me Curo del Cora", and also added the sample that plays at the start.
Reception
Ernesto Lechner of Rolling Stone wrote that the song determines the "epic post-breakup mode" opening of the album in which the singer "reassures our wounded hearts that it's ok to feel sad at times". Lechner prized the production of Ovy on the Drums, defining him as "a digital architect able to inject a sense of purpose into the most tired reggaeton back beat". Billboard described the song as "sweet and joyous" with "simplicity in terms of production".
