Bichote is a popular Puerto Rican slang term derived from the English phrase "big shot". While it originally referred to a high-level drug trafficker, its meaning has expanded in pop culture.
In this song, Bad Bunny uses bichote to mean a 'boss' or 'the top dog'. He sings, "Me siento como un bichote en los noventa" (I feel like a big shot in the 90s), using the word to convey a sense of power, success, and being untouchable at the peak of his career. It's a perfect example of the unique slang that gives reggaeton its distinct flavor.
Get ready for a song that is 100% about the club, dancing, and sex. Bad Bunny isn't trying to be subtle here. The whole track is a celebration of perreo, a very close and sexual style of reggaeton dancing. He describes a powerful woman who commands attention when she walks in: "Ella viene por ahí y nunca llega sola" (She comes around and never arrives alone), and even the tough guys notice, "To' los bandidos se sueltan las pistolas" (All the gangsters drop their guns).
This isn't a love song; it's about pure physical attraction and having a wild night. Bad Bunny is incredibly direct with lines like "En la disco, baby, yo te cojo, baby" (In the club, baby, I'll get you, baby) and even more explicit verses about what he wants to do. He sees this woman as his equal, someone who loves to party just as much as he does: "Me gustas porque tú y yo somos iguales / Siempre queremos perreo" (I like you because you and I are the same / We always want to grind). The song is also a tribute to the roots of reggaeton, with Bad Bunny proudly stating, "Estás escuchando música de Puerto Rico, cabrón" (You're listening to music from Puerto Rico, you bastard).
Bad Bunny was bagging groceries at a supermarket in Vega Baja and studying audiovisual communication at the University of Puerto Rico's Arecibo campus when the tracks he was uploading to SoundCloud between shifts reached DJ Luian, who signed him to Hear This Music in 2016. He was born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio in Bayamón in 1994 and grew up in the Almirante Sur barrio of Vega Baja.
The breakout was "Diles" in 2016, then "Soy Peor" that December, and by 2018 he was on Cardi B's "I Like It", a number one on the Hot 100. His albums run from X 100pre and YHLQMDLG through Un Verano Sin Ti, the year end number one on the Billboard 200 in 2022, to Debí Tirar Más Fotos, which in February 2026 became the first all Spanish language album to win the Grammy for Album of the Year. He also has "Callaíta", "Dakiti" and "Tití Me Preguntó" behind him, a summer 2025 residency at the Coliseo José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, and a WrestleMania tag team match in 2021 that he and Damian Priest won.
