"Histeria" (transl. "hysteria") is a song by Argentine singer Lali, included in her debut studio album A Bailar (2014). It was officially released by Sony Music Argentina as the album's fifth single on 11 September 2015, alongside its music video. The track was written by Lali with Luis Burgio, Gustavo Novello, and Pablo Akselrad, who produced it as 3musica.

Background and release

"Histeria" was originally included in A Bailar, released on 21 March 2014, but it wasn't released as a single until over a year later.[1] In early September 2015, Lali teased the video with short previews posted to her social media accounts, building up anticipation among fans.[2][3][4] The full video was then released on 11 September 2015, through her official Vevo channel.[5][6]

Lyrics and composition

"Histeria" explores the end of a relationship, portrayed through frustration and emotional detachment. The lyrics are direct, referencing manipulative behavior and emotional inconsistency. According to Lali, the song is a humorous yet critical take on love, particularly how "men can also play games, make mistakes, and be hysterical in relationships".[5][6] She also described it as a colorful and energetic pop track filled with "expression, dance, explosion, and playfulness".[7][6]

Music video

The music video for "Histeria" premiered on Lali's Vevo channel on 11 September 2015, following a series of teaser clips on her YouTube and Instagram accounts.[6][3] It quickly became the most viewed Argentine video within 24 hours, amassing more than 306,000 views on its first day.[6]

Directed by Juan Ripari, who also directed her previous videos, the shoot lasted 15 hours and featured Lali in six different looks with vibrant wigs, bold makeup, and revealing outfits.[7][5][6][3] The video ends with a body painting scene, in which Lali appears topless, marking one of her boldest visuals at the time.[8][9] The clip showcases her dancing skills alongside eight background dancers, set against a backdrop of neon lights and colorful staging.[9][7]

Live performances

The song's television debut took place on 16 August 2014, during the Un Sol para los Chicos charity special, where Lali also performed "A Bailar" and "No Estoy Sola".[10] On 26 October 2015, she performed it at the Kids' Choice Awards Argentina, right before "Mil Años Luz".[11] On 20 December 2015, "Histeria" was included in her set at the tenth edition's season finale of Bailando por un Sueño Argentina, along with "A Bailar", "Tengo Esperanza" and "Cómo Haremos".[12] She later performed the track on 21 February 2016, at the season premiere of Laten Argentinos, again paired with "A Bailar" and "Mil Años Luz".[13] "Histeria" has also been a regular part of Lali's tour setlists since the A Bailar Tour.

The video was released on Espósito's Vevo channel on September 11, 2015. Previously, Espósito had posted preview clips of the music video onto her YouTube channel before the music video release.
