Karol G and Bruno Mars use rehearsal, backstage and SoFi Stadium footage to turn the surprise live debut of “Still” into its official video.
Karol G and Bruno Mars have transformed the surprise live debut of their collaboration “Still” into the song’s official music video. The visual combines rehearsal footage, backstage moments and scenes from the pair’s performance at SoFi Stadium, giving viewers a polished release built around the spontaneity of the night.
A stadium surprise becomes the story
The cameras were already following Karol G before Mars appeared during the second of her sold-out Los Angeles stadium shows. Rolling Stone reported that the singers performed “Still” together for the first time that evening, while footage captured before doors opened became a central part of the finished video.
The official upload, published through Karol G’s VEVO channel, confirms the collaboration as the artists’ authorized video rather than a fan edit or concert clip. Most of the visual unfolds in black and white, moving between the empty venue, backstage guitar moments and lighthearted footage of the two artists together. Color arrives as they step onto the stage, making the audience reveal feel like the payoff.
Behind the collaboration
Karol G has said that recording with Mars felt surreal and required her to travel to meet him while he was on tour. She also described “Still” as part of an effort to connect with listeners through an English-language song, expanding the reach of a catalog already built across Spanish-language pop and urbano music.
The new video preserves that crossover ambition without overproducing the moment that introduced the song. Instead of constructing a separate fictional narrative, it emphasizes the scale of the concert, the work before the performance and the chemistry between its two stars. The result doubles as both an official visual and a behind-the-scenes record.
The release also lands while both singers remain active on the road. Karol G’s 2026 stadium itinerary continues across major U.S. cities, while Mars is touring behind his own album. By turning a one-night guest appearance into the song’s defining imagery, the pair have given “Still” a launch that connects their separate tours and audiences in one highly shareable moment.
