"Telepatía" (stylized as telepatía) is a song by American singer Kali Uchis. Originally released on November 18, 2020 as an album track on her second studio album Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios), it became the album's third single on February 26, 2021, after gaining prominence on the social media platform TikTok.[1][2] Uchis drew inspiration from telepathy and being able to spiritually communicate with someone whom she could not be with.[3]

Unlike her debut studio album, Isolation (2018), Sin Miedo (del Amor y Otros Demonios) initially failed to enter any national charts. However, the viral success of "Telepatía" helped launch the album onto the Billboard 200 for the first time.[4] The song reached number 10 on the Billboard Global 200, number 25 in the United States, number 41 in the United Kingdom and number 45 in Canada. The song later reached number 1 on the Hot Latin Songs Chart, making Uchis the first female soloist to reach No. 1 on Hot Latin Songs with a song unaccompanied by another act since 2012. Who did it then? Paulina Rubio with “Me Gustas Tanto” (February 2012). Prior to Rubio, Gloria Estefan took the lead with “Hotel Nacional” (January 2012). In fact, the trio comprises the only three female acts to achieve the feat in the last two decades.

The song was sent to contemporary hit radio in the United States on April 6, 2021.[5]

Composition[]

"Telepatía" is a song about a long-distance relationship that sees Uchis sing in Spanish about making love to her partner telepathically while they are apart.[6]

Critical reception[]

"Telepatía" ranked as the fifth best song of 2021 by Billboard, stating that "not only essential for its addictive groove and inspired lyrical content, the pop gem also put a spotlight on truly bilingual songs having chart potential."[7]

Music video[]

On March 18, 2021 the official music video for "Telepatía" was released. It sees Uchis stroll around her hometown of Pereira, Colombia and was directed by the artist herself. For the video, Kali Uchis said she wanted "Nothing overproduced, just the beautiful natural magic of the country I have had the honor of also calling home my entire life, Colombia."[6]
