Background and composition

[edit]

"Hollywood" was released as a single by Plazola in 2020, through Rancho Humilde.[3] After he met Peso Pluma, they would re-record the song together.[4] "Hollywood" is a song where its lyrics revolve around being abused as a child and gaining eventual fame, while it is entirely an ode to Hollywood, Los Angeles.[5] He stated that it is about "our reality [and] how our lives went through this process — getting famous, getting money [and] getting what we've wanted since we were kids".[6]
