Born and raised in Medellín, Giraldo launched her career as a teenager, appearing on the Colombian version of The X Factor at age 14 in 2004. She moved to New York City in 2014 to learn more about the music industry and signed to Universal Music Latino. Her collaboration with Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny "Ahora Me Llama" became her breakthrough hit, and was the lead single for her debut album Unstoppable, released in 2017. In late 2018, her song "Secreto" became a hit in Latin America as she and Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA publicly confirmed their relationship in the music video.
In July 2019, she released "China" in collaboration with Anuel AA, J Balvin, Daddy Yankee and Ozuna, which became her first music video with over one billion views on YouTube. In May 2019, she released the album Ocean, which served as a stylistic departure from Unstoppable, incorporating a more relaxed atmosphere in her work. Her song "Tusa" with Nicki Minaj also charted internationally and was certified 28× Latin Platinum by the RIAA, staying on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart for 25 weeks. In 2020, Karol G received four nominations at the Latin Grammys. Karol G achieved her highest-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 with the top 20 song "Mamiii", a collaboration with Becky G.

No dejo nada en la calle, la tienen difícil

The lyrics of "Tu Pum Pum" by Karol G celebrate female sexuality and empowerment through dance. The opening line, "I ain't playin' witchu," establishes the assertive tone of the song, as Karol G announces her independence and commands attention. She encourages women to showcase their bodies and talents with confidence: "Say you body good you star your own show / Up and down show what you can do / Bring it up top, then you drop it down low." The lyrics also reference the rhythmic sound of hips shaking during a dance, with the repeated phrase "tu pum pum" reminiscent of the percussive beat of such movements.
