Ahogué comes from the verb ahogar, meaning "to drown". It's a powerful and dramatic word that isn't typically found in every song, making it quite memorable.
In this song, Rauw Alejandro uses it metaphorically to describe being completely overwhelmed by passion and desire, singing "Tan mojada que me ahogué" (So wet that I drowned). This vivid imagery conveys an intense emotional and physical experience, making it a compelling word choice to entice listeners.
Rauw Alejandro is completely caught up in a relationship that feels almost unreal. He keeps asking himself what it is about this person, saying it's "Demasiado rico para ser verdad" (Too good to be true) and begging, "Baby, despiértame si esto no es realidad" (Baby, wake me up if this isn't real). The whole song is built around one simple, desperate request in the chorus: "No me sueltes" (Don't let me go).
He hints at why he's so insecure, mentioning a history of "Relaciones, traiciones, amores / Ilusiones" (Relationships, betrayals, loves / Illusions). But he quickly switches from this vulnerability to some very direct, sexual lyrics. He describes exactly what he loves about their physical connection in blunt detail, saying she's "Tan caliente que me derrite / Tan mojada que me ahogué" (So hot that she melts me / So wet that I drowned). It's a classic reggaeton mix of intense romantic feeling and even more intense physical passion.
