Apaga el cel is a modern, colloquial phrase that means "Turn off the phone."
It's the title of the song and a perfect example of modern Spanish slang. "Cel" is a common abbreviation for celular (cell phone) used throughout Latin America. This command immediately creates a sense of intimacy and urgency, inviting someone to disconnect from the digital world and be present in the moment.
Chilean artist FloyyMenor teams up with Lewis Somes on "APAGA EL CEL", and the title says it all: put your phone away. The track is built around a midnight rendezvous where distractions are banned. FloyyMenor cuts straight to the chase with lines like "Asà que, ma, ven y apaga el cel" ("So, babe, come and turn off the cell"), chasing a fast, no-strings-attached night. He is entirely unbothered by commitment, telling her straight up, "Una noche nada más / Después no me digas nada" ("Just one night, nothing more / Afterward don't say anything to me"). If you like blunt reggaeton that skips the romance and gets right to the point, this is it.
Along the way, the lyrics drop heavy Chilean street slang and flexes. He brings up luxury cars non-stop: cruising in "la Meche" (a Mercedes-Benz), a Ferrari, and a Porsche Panamera. When he tells her "no andes con la pera", he is using an everyday Chilean idiom that means "don't be scared" or "don't chicken out." He also mentions wild late-night hours like "a las 5:12" ("at 5:12 AM") and popping "unas Percocet", giving the whole ride a chaotic, after-hours rush. It is boastful, funny in how shameless it gets, and packed with real slang you will actually hear on the street.
