Composition
editMusically, the single is a corrido tumbado with arrangements of sierreña and norteño music with tuba, the lyrics make references to drug trafficking in Mexico, an apology for crime and santería.[4] The title of the song is a phrase that is phonetically similar to Chapiza, a given name to the Sinaloa Cartel, a way of mentioning the criminal group that serves the children of capo Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera.[5][6][7][8] The bosses of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar and Ismael Zambada García are also mentioned,[9] and the theme of Santería is also touched on in a verse sung by Cano, a religion to which he explained that he was not a participant and that at the time of recording the song he had disputes with Ortíz Paz for not wanting to use the phrase.[10]
