"Pa" is a song dedicated to her father, Alejandro Stoessel, who was in serious health in 2023; he had to be transferred to intensive care in serious condition after a complication he had due to a surgery scheduled in 2022 at the La Trinidad Sanatorium in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo. == Critical reception ==

Cristina Zavala from Los 40 stated that "there are no metaphorical letters to which we must find the symbology and hidden meaning. On the contrary, she has opted for the most direct simplicity that leaves a record of what she has felt and experienced in a raw and direct way". == Music video ==

A preview of the music video for "Pa" was shared by Tini on 31 March 2024, while announcing the release of the song as a single. Directed by Bàrbara Farré and produced by Canada, it was released alongside the track. It was filmed in Madrid, and the creative direction was in charge of Terrivle. The video is recorded in a hospital waiting room in a false sequence shot, where she sees her life go by accompanied by her father. They are shown from her childhood, professional beginnings and important moments in their life. It also contains references to the Argentine telenovela Violetta, broadcast from 2012 to 2015, starring Tini, and to the singer's last concert before her father get sicken. == Live performances ==
