Background and composition

[edit]

Romeo Santos and Prince Royce first collaborated secretly in 2018, using superhero names like Batman and Robin respectively. Some time later, Santos considered releasing an album with him. At Madison Square Garden, prior to the official release, they presented the album as a surprise.[1][2]

"Dardos" is a bachata that blends guitars, drums, and various acoustic sounds. Some background vocals can be heard in the song's chorus.[3]

Music video

[edit]

The music video for "Dardos" was officially released on February 13, 2026, on Santos' YouTube channel. It features the two of them in front of a wall with a dartboard, Santos in an hourglass, Royce, and the two of them at a party dancing with girls, and also showing them toasting.
