"6 de febrero" (stylized in all caps; transl. "6 February") is a song recorded by Spanish singer Aitana. The song was released on 6 May 2025 through Universal Music, as the third single from her fourth studio album, Cuarto azul (2025).[1]
Background and composition
[edit]Aitana began writing the song between Los Angeles and Miami, after finishing her world tour, Alpha Tour, and the cancellation of her concerts at the Bernabéu stadium.[2] "6 de febrero" was produced by Andrés Torres, Mauricio Rengifo, and Nicolás Cotton, with lyrics written by Aitana herself, along with Torres and Rengifo.[3]
In the Netflix documentary, Aitana: Metamorphosis, released in February 2025, the artist herself shows the creative process and early drafts of the song, also mentioning that it was written after her second breakup with Sebastián Yatra.[4][5] In one of the episodes, a clip is shown of Aitana singing the song in a car, a video that quickly went viral and became one of her most acclaimed songs.[6] Despite its success on social media, the singer decided not to release it immediately.
It was not until 2 May 2025, that Aitana posted a promotional poster on her Instagram that read, "This year, 6th May is 6th February."[7] This announced the song's release for Tuesday, 6 May. On the same night of the premiere, in a live video on Instagram, the artist commented that she had not planned to release it as a single from the album, but rather to make it the album's focus track.[8]
Music video
[edit]In April 2025 Aitana traveled to the Dominican Republic, where she was seen on a recording set.[9] On 5 May 2025, three days after its official announcement, Aitana shared a teaser for the music video of "6 de febrero" on social media. The video was released on 6 May, simultaneously with the song on digital platforms. Directed by Alfonso Riera and Joaquín Luna, it features a 90s aesthetic, with images of the singer enjoying moments with friends and reflecting on her past, after an apparent breakup.[10]
