After releasing a number of singles in 2016, including "Lo Hace Conmigo", "Los Chikos de Madriz" and "Antes de Morirme", Tangana attained mainstream success in Spain with the release of "Mala Mujer", later included in his debut studio album Ídolo (2017). He continued to explore urbano and hip hop music on his mixtape Avida Dollars (2018), which spawned the top twenty single "Llorando en la Limo". Tangana continued to release standalone singles to commercial success such as "Bien Duro", "Booty" and "Nunca Estoy". He experimented with flamenco and Latin music on his second studio album El Madrileño (2021), which was nominated for the Premio Ruido and received a Latin Grammy Award for Album of the Year. El Madrileño became the best-selling album in Spain in 2021.
Throughout his career, C. Tangana has won nine Latin Grammy Awards as songwriter and as performer, two Premios Odeón and a LOS40 Music Award among others. He has also been nominated for a Grammy Award, two MTV Europe Music Awards and two UK Music Video Awards.
Tangana's outspoken political views have received significant media coverage. Considered a controversial musical figure within the Spanish industry, he has been accused of proliferating sexist conducts through his lyrics. He has also been accused of being a "sellout" by colleague rappers. His pesimistic view on representative democracy, the monarchy and the Spanish royal family and his high-profile relationship with Rosalía, have also been topics of media attention.

(¡Cambia!)
Crecí pensando que solo el billete me daría mi respeto
Que un hombre que no tiene pa gastar
No es un hombre, solo un muñeco
Que siempre te van a sobrar amigos
Hoy que brilla más mi cuello que Las Vegas
Me piden que cambie
Soy desconfiado y no permito
Que cualquier cabrón se ande acercando
Amigo por las buenas
Y en las malas le entramos a los chingazos (díselo)
Me hicieron pensar que si cada noche
No salía envuelto en Gucci, yo no era más que un don nadie
Y ahora que sobran ceros en el banco
Me piden que cambie
El Madrileño

¿Y quién dijo que la H es muda, viejo?
¡Ea!
(Eso es)
Carin Leon
¡Ay ay ay!
Crecí escuchando historias de valientes
En los versos de Chalino
Queriendo armas, casa y carro nuevo
Con eso se forjó el niño
No le deseo el mal a las personas
Yo me enfoco en lo mío, no me fijo en lo de nadie
Ahora que vieron que andamos bateando
Me piden que cambie
De niño me enseñaron a ser gallo
Y que un cobarde es un gallina
Que el hombre que las morras aman bravo
Va de a golpes por la vida
Y ahora le rascan los huevos al toro
Y a la hora de los chingazos, no saben ni a quién rezarle (Díselo)
Y ahora que saben cómo ruge el león
Me piden que cambie
Aquí andamos al millón
Carin
Y Adriel Favela
¡Wu! (El Madrileño)
Eso es
(Eso es)
The song "CAMBIA!" by C. Tangana explores themes of success, money, and the pressure to change once one has made it. The first verse discusses how the singer grew up thinking that only money would bring him respect, and he believed that those without money were just puppets to be controlled. He thought that having diamonds would attract friends and women, and he was proven right when he achieved success. However, now that he has more money and success, people are asking him to change, and he is reluctant to do so.
The second verse highlights the singer's background, as he describes listening to Chalino's music and dreaming of having a weapon, a home, and a new car. Despite his past, he does not wish ill on others and prefers to focus on his own life rather than judge others. Now that people have seen his success, they are the ones asking for him to change, and he is not pleased with their requests.
