Pichar is a fantastic piece of Puerto Rican slang that you won't easily find in a standard Spanish textbook. It originates from the English baseball term "to pitch" but has creatively evolved in Caribbean culture to mean "to ignore" someone or let a situation slide.
In the song, Yandel sings, "Quiero pichar, pero me salió al revés" (I wanted to ignore it, but it completely backfired). He uses this clever urban slang to confess that he tried to brush off his attraction to someone, but he just couldn't help falling for her anyway!
Get ready for a classic reggaetón night out. Yandel and Feid are trying to convince a girl to drop everything and meet up. The singer starts by admitting he can't get her off his mind, saying, "Quiero pichar, pero me salió al revés" [I want to ignore it, but it turned out the opposite]. He's direct, telling her he'll pick her up at 2 AM and that everything is on him for the night. The whole vibe is about letting go and having a good time.
The song is really about the connection between two people on the dance floor. As she starts to warm up, he feels like he can see a hidden side of her, observing, "Veo todo lo que nunca me cuentas" [I see everything you never tell me]. He knows she has a wilder, "underground" side and encourages her to embrace it, because as he says, "El party es más cabrón si tú te sueltas" [The party is more badass if you let loose]. It's a straightforward invitation to dance, connect, and see where the night goes, with the clear hope that it will be "más de una noche" [more than one night].
