A remix of the song featuring American singer Justin Quiles was released on 17 February 2022.[3]
The song and its music video, self-directed by Anitta, went viral in March 2022, after it gained popularity on TikTok, where its "booty-grinding" dance became one of the most replicated. "Envolver" broke a string of records, including the first solo Latin song to reach the top of the Spotify Global Daily chart, which earned Anitta an entry in the Guinness Book of World Records.[4]
Commercially, the song achieved international success in Latin America and became Anitta's most charted song to date. With "Envolver", Anitta had her highest entries on the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl.
