The song contains a "menacing, sometimes disturbing beat",[3] with J Balvin leading the opening lines, "chanting and singing in a register far lower than usual", followed by Bad Bunny's "higher voice".[3] Billboard called the song a "musical switch whose success underscores how seamlessly these two work together", and asserted that if Bad Bunny is the "bad guy" in Oasis, then "Cuidao por Ahí" is a role reversal.[3]
Like the rest of the songs of Oasis, "Cuidao por Ahí" managed to chart on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, peaking at number 28.[4]
The music video for "Cuidao por Ahí" was released on 23 August 2019 and was directed by Colin Tilley.[5] Its odd imagery and direction was noted by various journalists. [6]
