In the TUDUM clip, Perla and her brother Jeffrey opened up about their childhood while expressing gratitude for everything they have.

"We were really blessed that we always had a roof, food, and toys," Perla added. "Obviously, we were not the wealthiest, but we were wealthy in love. Something that in the Dominican Republic we say is 'rico de cuna,' which is 'rich from nursery.' So we definitely were that."
