morra — girl / chick

Morra is popular Mexican slang for "girl" or "chick". It's an informal and affectionate term, similar to how an English speaker might talk about "their girl".

In the song, Becky G sings, "Si aún fuera tu morra, ¿qué no haríamos?" (If I were still your girl, what wouldn't we do?). Using this casual slang word makes the memory feel more intimate and real, highlighting the pain of wondering what could have been if she was still his special person.

Ever had an ex tell you that you were their whole world, only to watch them move on completely fine? That is the exact frustration Becky G and DannyLux call out in "CRIES IN SPANISH". The track looks back at a relationship full of big promises that turned out to be totally hollow. Becky G wonders what things would look like "Si aĂşn fuera tu morra" ("If I were still your girl"), using the Mexican slang "morra" for girlfriend. The central gut-punch comes in the chorus with the repeated phrase "SegĂşn yo era tu droga" ("Supposedly I was your drug"). In everyday Spanish, using "segĂşn" like this is a sharp, sarcastic way of saying "You claimed that, but your actions prove otherwise."

The lyrics hit hard because of the relatable, everyday details. The singer admits they stopped visiting their usual Friday spot and confesses, "Nunca supe cĂłmo acabĂł la serie" ("I never found out how the TV show ended"), showing how a breakup even ruins your shared Netflix routines. To make their feelings crystal clear, the song leans into heavy Mexican street slang: "Al chile no puedo y la neta ni quiero / Dejar de quererte" ("Honestly I can't and the truth is I don't even want to / Stop loving you"). Here, "al chile" and "la neta" both mean "honestly" or "for real." It is a blunt, stubborn confession about wanting someone who clearly did not mean what they said.

Becky G, born Rebbeca Marie Gomez in 1997 in Inglewood, California, is an American singer and actress of Mexican heritage. She first drew attention with covers posted on YouTube, broke through in 2014 with the single "Shower", and has since recorded mostly in Spanish, mixing pop, reggaeton and regional Mexican music on albums such as "Mala Santa" and "Esquemas".
