"Formentera" is a song by Spanish singer Aitana, in collaboration with Argentine singer Nicki Nicole, released on 3 December 2021 through Universal Music Spain.[1] The song was later included on the track list of her third studio album, Alpha (2023), as the eleventh song on the album.[2][3][4]

Background

During an interview with Los 40 in November 2021, Nicki Nicole confirmed that she had collaborated with Aitana in a track that would be released soon.[5] Some days later, Aitana confirmed the release date of the single and confirmed that the music video would also be dropping that same day.[6][7]

Reception

"The catchy melody of the song's chorus is one of the most memorable parts of the song".[8] Soon after its release, the song was criticized by some listeners because one verse reads, "I'll fly directly to Formentera", but Formentera is an island and has no airport.[9][10][11]

Commercial performance

The song debuted at number 76 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 and eventually peaked at number 57.[12] In Spain, the song peaked at number three and was certified 5xplatinum.
