Kat Deluna returns with new single Mala Mia

Kat DeLuna returns with “Mala Mía”, her new single and official music video, available now via BMG. Long before Latin music became a global crossover phenomenon, Kat was already bridging the worlds of Latin, Caribbean and pop music. Her breakthrough hit “Whine Up” helped bring Caribbean-infused pop into the mainstream, paving the way for a sound that resonated with audiences worldwide.

With “Mala Mía”, Kat enters a bold new chapter, embracing complete creative independence and offering the first taste of her forthcoming Spanish-language album, due for release later this summer. The single is available now on all major digital platforms.

Built around confidence and self-assurance, “Mala Mía” balances smooth, melodic moments with a more commanding vocal delivery. The track introduces a refreshed artistic direction that is reflected in its striking official music video. Set in a dark industrial environment illuminated by sharp neon lights, Kat is surrounded by a squad of dancers behind a symbolic fence, poised, powerful and fully in control. Every frame reinforces the song's central message: confidence, strength and unapologetic self-expression.
