As Kali Uchis and Karol G began a friendship, they planned to record music together. The latter revealed that they wrote several songs during their visits to each other homes.[1][2] From that sessions, they finished two songs: "Me Tengo Que Ir", which was released on Karol G's second mixtape Mañana Será Bonito (Bichota Season) (2023) and an undisclosed song that would be released in one Uchis works.[3] On October 18, 2023, Uchis revealed the song with Karol G to be titled "Labios Mordidos", which was recorded for her fourth studio album Orquídeas (2024).[4]

"Labios Mordidos" is a reggaeton and pop song,[5][6] produced by Albert Hype, Austen Jux-Chandler, and Manuel Lara.[7] A song with sapphic themes, it details the flirtation between two women.[8] "Labios Mordidos" features a sample of Chaka Demus & Pliers' song "Murder She Wrote".[9]
