Encerraditos is the playful, diminutive form of encerrados, meaning 'locked up' or 'confined'.
In a highly memorable lyric, the artists sing about being "encerraditos como en dos mil veinte" (locked up like in 2020). They use the shared global memory of pandemic lockdowns as a clever, flirtatious metaphor for wanting to be completely isolated and alone with a crush.
Spanish pop star Aitana teams up with Argentina's Emilia and Spanish rapper Ptazeta for "Quieres", an upbeat pop track that skips all the coy hesitation and demands real action. The song kicks off with a crush taking over someone's brain: "Tengo la curiosidad de saber cómo besas" ("I'm curious to know how you kiss") and "No hice la tarea de olvidarte / Porque siempre fui mala estudiante" ("I didn't do the homework of forgetting you / Because I was always a bad student"). The chorus gets straight to the point. Stop overthinking, step up, and "Dime si me quieres" ("Tell me if you want me").
The verses bring in playful references and classic flirting idioms. Ptazeta throws in a cheeky shoutout to Puerto Rican artist Residente with "Atrévete, como René" ("Dare yourself, like René"), referencing Calle 13's famous hit Atrévete-te-te. She also jokes that she would immortalize her crush on canvas like Mexican artist Frida Kahlo ("Si fuera Frida, pongo tu cuerpo en una pintura"). Later, Emilia brings the heat by proposing a secret getaway—comparing hiding out together away from everyone to the quarantine lockdowns: "Ahí, encerraditos como en dos mil veinte" ("Right there, locked in like in 2020"). It is a bold, energetic anthem that leaves zero doubt about who is making the first move.
