Palomo literally means "pigeon." However, in many Latin American countries, including Puerto Rico where Farruko is from, it's also used as slang to describe a naive, gullible, or easily fooled man.
In the song, the lyrics state, "El día que un palomo la engañó" (The day a 'palomo' deceived her). This implies she learned a valuable lesson after being tricked by a naive or foolish man, making the word a clever and culturally specific choice.
"Anda Sola" is built around one line, repeated like a thesis: "Mejor anda sola, que mal acompañada" [Better to walk alone, than in bad company]. Farruko is describing a woman who has stopped negotiating on herself. She has her own money ("No hace falta que le gasten, ella se puede costear" [No need to spend on her, she can afford herself]), her own faith ("Que amor sin Dios ya no dura" [That love without God no longer lasts]), and a clear read on people ("Tiene la visión bien clara, y con ninguna se compara" [She has a very clear vision, and compares to none]).
None of this is abstract. She got hurt before, "El día que un palomo la engañó" [The day a fool deceived her], and the song credits that exact moment for who she is now: "El golpe le enseñó a ser más fuerte" [The blow taught her to be stronger]. So when a guy shows up only "pa' después dejar la milla" [to then leave the mile], she's already gone, and when people throw shade her way she doesn't argue back, "su bendición es lo que ella regala" [her blessing is what she gives]. Walking alone, here, isn't a fallback. It's the standard she's holding out for.
Carlos Efrén Reyes Rosado was writing songs at eleven, then left school to fix cars alongside his father in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, and built his first audience on MySpace. As Farruko he put out El Talento del Bloque in 2010, at nineteen.
The big records came through other people's at first: "6 AM" with J Balvin, "Passion Whine" with Sean Paul, "Krippy Kush" with Bad Bunny and Rvssian, and the "Calma" remix with Pedro Capó, which took a Latin Grammy in 2019. Then "Pepas" in 2021, guaracha electrónica built on Colombian club music rather than reggaeton, hit number one on Hot Latin Songs and has passed 1.7 billion Spotify streams. In February 2022 he stopped a Miami arena show to preach for about fifteen minutes, refused to sing "Pepas" and apologised for its lyrics, and told the crowd that Farru was retired and Carlos was there now. He returned to touring in May 2023 and released the 26-track CVRBON VRMOR in October 2024.
