An official remix was released by David Guetta.




Background


Farruko called the song, a "total experiment". He gathered a few people in the studio and asking them to sing a stadium chant that sounded similar to a church choir.




Composition


"Pepas" starts off slow, then quickly picks up and morphs into something "reminiscent of pre-COVID-19 pandemic dance parties".




Music video


The music video was directed by Mike Ho and released on August 6, 2021. According to a description by Jessica Roiz of Billboard, it includes "an all-night-long rave with fireworks, dancers, men dressed in neon suits, and Farruko dancing on top of shipping containers".
