Mayores literally translates to 'older' or 'grown-ups'.
In the song, Becky G cheekily sings about preferring 'older' men who are gentlemen (señores). However, the track's success comes from its clever double meaning, where mayores is also used to hint at a preference for things that are, well... 'bigger'. It's a perfect example of the playful wordplay, known as doble sentido, that is common in Latin music.
Becky G is not shy in this song! She lays out exactly what she's looking for in a partner, and the title "Mayores" (Older Men) gives you the biggest clue. She wants a classic gentleman who will treat her like a lady, someone who will "te abren la puerta / Y te mandan flores" [open the door for you / and send you flowers]. But she also wants someone who is a great lover when things get private.
The song is famous for its super cheeky and clever wordplay. Becky G sings, "A mí me gustan más grandes / Que no me quepa en la boca / Los besos que quiera darme" [I like them bigger / So the kisses he wants to give me / Don't fit in my mouth]. While she's talking about kisses, the lines are a playful hint at something else! Bad Bunny's verse is a direct reply to her. He argues that even though he's young, he can give her everything she wants. He's a "caballero con veintiuno" [a gentleman of twenty-one] who promises he can last longer in bed than an older guy.
