"Cuando Las Mujeres" (English: When Women) is a song by Puerto Rican reggaetón recording artist Ivy Queen, from her eighth studio, Musa (2012). It was composed by Queen as well as Mário de Jesús, produced by DJ Nelson and released as the third single from the album on March 11, 2014, following "Peligro De Extinción" and "Cupido".

Background
After the success of her 2007 effort Sentimiento, which would be certified Platinum by the United States Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), a substantial live album was distributed by Machete in 2008. This would lead up to Queen signing with the label in April 2010 as the label celebrated its fifth anniversary. The record signing, described as a 360 deal, includes profit sharing in tours, sponsorships and merchandising.

Ivy Queen was previously signed to a distribution deal with Univision Records, which in turn was acquired by Machete's parent company Universal Music Latin Entertainment in 2008. President of Universal Music Latino and Machete, Walter Kolm, commented in a press release "It's a privilege to have Ivy Queen apart of over artistic roster. Ivy is an extraordinary woman with incomparable talent, and she's number one in her genre. We're happy to be able to work with her on her new album as well as future projects". "I'm very proud to be a part of Machete Music. They are a young, vibrant company that has created a name for itself in Latin music in the United States and the world. They are a strong and important company that has been recognized for nurturing their artists’ creative talents," said Ivy Queen, regarding the partnership. However even with all this, it was reported that Queen had signed with Siente Music in early 2012.

Writing and composition
Ivy Queen told Efe that the composition process started while she was heartbroken at home. Her emotions then burst out in the recording studio. She wrote 26 songs for Drama Queen, her previous and seventh studio album, in which only 16 appear, "Cuando Las Mujeres" brings together the lasting ten she composed during this period in her life.

The song is composed in minor key tonality and features simple harmonic progressions, danceable grooves, synthetic instrumentation, Afro-Latin influences, reggae influences, techno synths, synthesizers, and prominent percussion according to the Music Genome Project.
