It’s been almost five years since Sofía Reyes released her debut single, “1, 2, 3.” Since then, the Monterrey, Nuevo León-born singer has accumulated a massive following of adoring fans — many of whom have joined in on the #MarteChallenge on TikTok. To date, the hashtag is home to more than 100,000 videos and counting.
The singer’s viral moment comes not long after she dropped her sophomore album, and according to her, she’s just getting started. Sofía recently spoke with Distractify about her new music, going viral, and her collab with Tostitos.

Sofía Reyes dropped exclusive details about the making of her latest album, "Mal de Amores."
Slow and steady wins the race — at least that’s the case for Sofía, who spent the last six years preparing for the 2022 release of "Mal de Amores." But according to her, she enjoyed every moment. In her interview with Distractify, the 26-year-old artist shared, “I'm just really proud of it. You know, I'm proud of myself [and] proud of my team.”
“I learned so many things through this process,” she added. “I met so many amazing people through this process. There are many stories and relationships I experienced through that album.”
Sofía suggested that she has even more new music — including a number of surprise collaborations — that we can look forward to in the near future.
She teased, "I haven't said this, I don't know if my team is gonna be like 'Sofía, you can't say it.' But I'm gonna say it. I have this new collab coming up [with] Train. I love them. I love their music. I cannot say other collaborations, but [there are] definitely a lot," she teased.
