Acaricia comes from the verb acariciar, meaning "to caress" or "to gently stroke". It's a tender and evocative word that feels more intimate and poetic than common alternatives like tocar (to touch).
In the song, the lyric "La brisa acaricia tu pelo" (The breeze caresses your hair) uses this beautiful verb to personify the breeze. It paints a vivid, romantic picture of a gentle moment by the sea, making the scene feel soft and deeply affectionate. This specific, sensory word is much rarer in songs than a generic word for touch.
Sunset invites you to step onto a warm Puerto Rican shoreline just as the sky turns orange-pink. Farruko, Shaggy, and Nicky Jam paint a picture of two lovers sitting by the sea, trading sweet kisses while the last rays slip below the horizon. The beach becomes their private playground: waves lapping, sand on skin, rum in hand, and music in the air. Every lyric celebrates that electric moment when daylight fades, desire rises, and time seems to pause for passion.
Beyond the sensual imagery, the song is a lively mash-up of cultures and languages. Spanish verses glide into Shaggy’s island-flavored English, creating a bilingual flirtation that mirrors the blend of reggaetón and dance-hall beats. "Sunset" is all about seizing the night—letting the alcohol kick in, feeling the breeze in your hair, and dancing until dawn with someone who makes you forget the world. Press play, imagine that tropical glow, and let the rhythm wash over you.
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.
