Music video
The song received a video titled "Por el Contrario (Performance Video)" which was directed by Karla Read and released on December 13, 2023.[2] Set against a desert backdrop that pulls inspiration from José María Velasco, the artists showcase their emotional depth in a synchronized display, dressed in a rich red wine hue that elevates the visual elements at play, inviting viewers to get a fly-on-the-wall look at their performance as the artists break the fourth wall. The chemistry between them takes center stage, elevated by the accompaniment of eight musicians from Mariachi Paredes de Tejastitlán (The University of Texas Austin), skillfully creating a powerful symphony that encapsulates the song’s emotions and allows the message to resonate even further with its audience.[3]
