The music artist, 34, performed her song "Papasito" on Thursday's episode of the NBC late-night talk show.
Karol G performed in front of an orange and pink backdrop on the Tonight Show stage and was joined by backup dancers in coordinating black outfits.
"Papasito" appears on her most recent album, Tropicoqueta, released last week.
Karol G discussed Tropicoqueta in her interview with Fallon, explaining how the album encapsulates a new "personality" and is inspired by her Latin American fans.
"Tropicoqueta is this new personality. I think I have a personality in every single album," the singer said.
"I was on tour, and I was just thinking about what's next for me, what's going to be my next step. And I think I really, being with my Latino community everywhere, and all of them bringing their flags and everything, I was like, 'I want to be representing them all the time' ... So I did this album that is full with our Latina music from different parts of Latin America."
Karol G: Tomorrow was Beautiful, released on Netflix in May.
In addition to her new album, Karol G is the subject of the documentary , released on Netflix in May.

Will Smith References Chris Rock Oscars Slap In Freestyle
Let's face it: We'll be talking about Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars for the rest of our lives. The slap heard around the world has been discussed by all parties in the years since it happened. Will Smith addressed it directly four months after the incident — which resulted in a 10-year ban from attending the Oscars — took place. Chris has also addressed the slap several times, including in his 2023 Netflix special Selective Outrage. Meanwhile, Jada Pinkett Smith — who was previously separated from Will, and who was the butt of Chris' joke that caused the slap to begin with — has claimed that the slap actually made her want to recommit in "healing" the issues regarding their marriage. Now, if you've been following the general trajectory of popular culture this year, you probably know that Will has also made something of a comeback as a rapper. To wit: He recently appeared on Apple Music's Fire in the Booth series to drop a freestyle — and, wouldn't you know it, it sure sounds like he's talking about the damn slap in it. Don't take my word for it, though — judge for yourself from the following lyrics: 'If you talking crazy out your face up on the stage and disrespect me on the stage, expect me on the dish it out, cry foul when it's time to take it/ City full of real ones, wasn't raised to fake it." Hmm. Hmm! Do you think he could possibly be referring to anything else? If so, enlighten me in the comments.

Catch These 7 Movies and TV Shows Before They Leave in July
Several beloved television series are leaving Netflix in the United States this month, so get your binges going. Also departing: an uproarious film version of a classic TV comedy, the prequel to an action movie favorite and the sensational hit movie about a doll and her friends. A ton of the titles this month are leaving on July 1, so we've rounded up those at the bottom. But as a result, the list will be a little tighter — and shorter lived — than usual. (Dates reflect the first day titles are unavailable and are subject to change.) 'Insecure' Seasons 1-5 (July 3) Stream it here. The funny and talented Issa Rae broke out from niche online personality to mainstream juggernaut with this acclaimed and popular HBO comedy series, on which she was co-creator, showrunner and star. Her character (also named Issa) spends the series struggling with her unsatisfying career, continuing romantic woes and roller-coaster relationship with her longtime best friend, Molly (the endlessly entertaining Yvonne Orji). What could have easily been a Black 'Sex and the City' is lent nuance, texture and richness by Rae and her writers' deft intermingling of serious social, sexual and racial themes, turning this half-hour comedy into a pointed portrait of the American Black experience in the late Obama and early Trump eras. 'The Addams Family' (July 5) Stream it here. Barry Sonnenfeld graduated from being one of the best cinematographers on the scene — he shot such distinctive and stylish efforts as 'Raising Arizona' and 'When Harry Met Sally' — to one of our quirkiest directors with this hit adaptation of the beloved '60s television series, itself culled from the cult comic strips of Charles Addams. His whirling cameras, striking angles and rapid-fire pacing prove an ideal match for Addams's weird world, but this isn't just an exercise in aesthetics; the casting is the key to bringing these characters to life. Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston find the perfect mixture of cheerful darkness and playful romance as Gomez and Morticia Addams, Christopher Lloyd gives Uncle Fester a delightful innocence, and Christina Ricci found her breakthrough role as the deadpan daughter Wednesday. 'This Is Us' Seasons 1-6 (July 8) Stream it here. When 'This Is Us' debuted in 2016, The New York Times described it as 'skillful, shameless tear jerking,' and that description was apt throughout its six-season run. Its creator, Dan Fogelman, borrows its setup from films like 'Short Cuts' and 'Magnolia': interwoven stories of seemingly unrelated strangers, bound together by random chance (in this case, four characters who share a date of birth). The show isn't exactly subtle — the tragedies and troubles come down like the sheets of rain that seems to accompany every emotional moment — but it delivers what it promises, and the stellar cast (including Sterling K. Brown, Justin Hartley, Chrissy Metz, Mandy Moore, Chris Sullivan and Milo Ventimiglia) elevates many of the cornier moments. 'Barbie' (July 15) Stream it here. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.
