On October 1, 2018, SM Entertainment announced that Super Junior would release a single called "One More Time (Otra Vez)" featuring Mexican pop rock band, Reik. This marked only the second time Super Junior had collaborated with a foreign artist, having done so previously with Leslie Grace for "Lo Siento", months prior.
In an interview with Billboard, both groups expressed their admiration for each other during the song's production. Super Junior's leader Leeteuk stated "Reik was highly recommended by everyone. They were so willing to collaborate, and we would like to express our appreciation to them." Reik's leader, Jesús Alberto Navarro Rosas said "It's very exciting to mix Korean and Latin music because they're having such a huge moment globally, and it's great that this collaboration happened."
On November 28, the song was re-released in Japanese along with four additional tracks, "Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!", and "Make You Smile", and their respective instrumental versions. All three tracks were featured in Super Junior's Japanese compilation album, Star in 2021.
