On May 16, 2024, Latin pop sensation Maria Becerra released Imán (Two of Us)—a track that quietly signaled the start of her most daring artistic chapter yet. A year later, its impact has rippled far beyond the charts, marking a pivotal moment in her career defined by sonic experimentation, personal upheaval, and global recognition.
The track arrived as more than a single—it was a declaration. Known for emotionally charged lyrics and themes of heartbreak, Becerra turned a corner with Imán, channeling electric energy, a punchier persona, and a vibrant aesthetic anchored in bold pink hues. Previewed days earlier during her appearance at the Kings League, the track introduced fans to a Maria unafraid to evolve.
Its reception was immediate. The song debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100, earning the coveted “Hot Shot Debut” of the week and securing Becerra’s second-best chart debut to date. It soon climbed to No. 2, becoming her highest-ever peak on the chart. Meanwhile, its YouTube video surpassed 43 million views, making it her second-most-watched video of the year, only behind Agora.
From its conception in Stockholm to the final music video rollout, Imán was the product of intentional reinvention.
“Everything was part of the journey into this new era,” Becerra shared, underscoring her pride in crafting a track that “sticks like gum”
What followed was a prolific second half of 2024. She released a string of high-profile collaborations—including Borracha with Gloria Trevi, Sexo Es La Moda with Yandel, and the seasonal Jingle Bell Rock. But the momentum was abruptly interrupted in early 2025 when Becerra was hospitalized due to a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. She underwent emergency surgery in April and announced a pause on all professional engagements to recover and reflect.
Fans and industry peers responded with an outpouring of support, and Becerra took to Instagram to thank them while emphasizing her need to “rest, process, and grieve.” Her management team confirmed the cancellation of all upcoming shows and her North America–Spain promotional tour, promising to announce rescheduled dates via MariaBecerra.live.
In a surprising twist, amidst her recovery, Becerra dropped Ramen Para Dos—a long-anticipated collaboration with Argentine superstar Paulo Londra. Released on May 8, 2025, the single quickly amassed over 10 million plays across platforms and dominated YouTube’s trending charts. The launch marked her powerful return to the spotlight, driven by community, authenticity, and unwavering artistic drive.
“Knowing you’re always there for me fills my heart,” she wrote on Instagram, tagging Londra and thanking fans and collaborators alike. The gratitude was palpable, and so was the promise: Maria Becerra isn’t just back—she’s reborn.
