CONTENTS SUMMARY
Te Pintaron Pajaritos (They Sold You A Dream)
¿Qué pasó con el que dijo que te amaba?
¿Acaso se fue y te ha dejado ilusionada?
¡Dícelo Andy!
No me choca al saber que sola te quedas
What happened to the one that said he loved you?
Did he maybe leave and has he left you all hopeful?
Tell her, Andy!
It doesn't shock me knowing that you end up alone

“Te Pintaron Pajaritos” spins a catchy tale of karma in love: Andy Rivera, joined by Yandar & Yostin, confronts an ex who once broke his heart and is now tasting her own medicine. The phrase “te pintaron pajaritos en el aire” pictures someone drawing pretty little birds in the sky, that is, selling beautiful lies. Over an infectious urbano beat, the singers expose the false promises she believed, highlight how her new partner deceived her just as she once deceived them, and admit to feeling a bittersweet satisfaction while watching the circle of heartbreak come full-circle. It is a lively reminder that empty words eventually vanish, and that in relationships what you give is what you get.

Borracho Te Busco (Drunk, I Look For You)
Tomando alguien me dijo
Tú eres consciente que un corazón bueno no se daña
Que fue mi culpa a lastimarte sin tener un arma
La enamoré sabiendo que pa' ofrecer no tenía nada
Drinking, somebody told me
You are aware that a good heart doesn't get hurt
That it was my fault for hurting you without having a weapon
I made her fall in love knowing that I had nothing to offer

A lonely night, a few too many drinks and memories that just will not stay silent — that is the world painted in “Borracho Te Busco”. Colombian stars Andy Rivera and Yeison Jiménez confess to phoning an ex while tipsy, admitting that it is unfair, yet irresistible. Between smooth urban beats and a hint of traditional vallenato nostalgia, they reveal why: their love was intense, but full of mistakes they never fixed. Alcohol becomes both truth serum and enemy, making them remember the passion, the fights and the guilt all at once.

The song is a bittersweet apology. The narrator knows his ex deserves someone better, still he cannot help wanting one last escape under the sheets. Listeners hear a mix of raw regret and lingering desire, captured in lines like “Prefiero que no sufras más y que me duela a mí” (“I would rather you not suffer anymore, let it hurt me instead”). In short, “Borracho Te Busco” is about that familiar tug-of-war between letting go for their happiness and giving in to your own lonely cravings — a relatable, late-night soundtrack for anyone who has ever reached for the phone when they really should have gone to sleep.

Dame Un Beso (Give Me A Kiss)
De todos los besos que existen
Hay muchos que te quiero dar
Uno antes de despedirme
Y otro al verte despertar
Of all the kisses that exist
There are many that I want to give you
One before I say goodbye
And another when I see you wake up

Love can be measured in countless ways, but in Dame Un Beso Andy Rivera keeps coming back to one unit of affection: the kiss. The Colombian singer lists every possible style—tender forehead pecks, impatient smooches, soul-stirring lip locks—and pleads for them all. Each kiss is painted as a healing spark that pauses time and stamps the memory, turning ordinary moments into forever memories. Rivera’s voice carries the urgency of someone who knows tomorrow is uncertain, so he begs for a kiss today that will still be felt when distance creeps in.

Playful yet heartfelt, the song mingles romantic devotion with reggaetón swagger. Rivera even turns kissing into a countdown: “uno, dos, tres,” each number underlining how much he craves his partner’s presence. Behind the catchy hook and rhythmic beat lies a simple wish: give me any kiss you want, just don’t let it be the last one. It is an upbeat anthem for lovers who believe that a single kiss—shared slowly, given with the soul—can make the whole world look brighter.

Corazón Maleante (Bad Boy Heart)
Hoy decidí
Ponerle a mi corazón un nuevo nombre
Porque se ha cansado de ser noble
Desde hoy puedes decir que soy mal hombre
Today I decided
Give my heart a new name
Because she's tired of being noble
From today you can say that I am a bad man

"Corazón Maleante" is Andy Rivera singing about deciding to stop being the good, faithful partner he used to be.

He says today he gave his heart a new name, because being noble left him with nothing but lost intentions. His ex keeps telling him she misses the old version of him, but he has already let that version go. Now his heart has turned into a "maleante," a heartbreaker who treats love as something casual instead of something deep.

The chorus repeats the same warning: he is not the same person anymore, and it is not really his fault. So many failed relationships hardened him, and he no longer wants to love someone who will not love him back the same way.

It is a breakup song about self-protection: choosing to close off rather than get hurt again.

Préstamela A Mi (Lend Her To Me)
Dale besos en el cuello cuando ella está enojada
Déjale un detalle ahí, debajo de la almohada
Esta será tal vez la única vez que te lo digo
Haz lo necesario pa' que no se escape conmigo
Give her kisses on the neck when she's angry
Leave a detail there, under the pillow
This might be the only time I tell you
Do what's necessary so she doesn't run away with me

Get ready for some playful rivalry in Andy Rivera's "Préstamela A Mí"! This song is all about a guy who's trying to convince another man that he can treat his girlfriend much better. He's basically saying, "Hey, I know how to make her happy, you're messing it up!"

He gives some cheeky advice to the current boyfriend, like "Dale besos en el cuello cuando ella está enojada" [Give her kisses on the neck when she's angry] and "Déjale un detalle ahí, debajo de la almohada" [Leave her a little something there, under the pillow]. But then he quickly turns around and boasts that she's already into him, saying "Ella se moja toda cuando ve que le tiro al DM" [She gets all wet when she sees me slide into her DMs]. He thinks the girlfriend is tired of her current relationship and ready for some fun, singing "Se está poniendo pa' mí y eso a ti no te conviene" [She's getting ready for me and that's not good for you]. He's pretty confident he's the one she wants, even claiming "Quiere que sea yo el que la desviste" [She wants me to be the one to undress her]. It's a bold and fun take on a love triangle!

Qué Le Pasa A Mi Ex [Remix] (What's Wrong With My Ex [Remix])
¿Qué pasó, no dizque ahora éramos panas?
Pero escuché tu nota de voz y sé que estás ilusionada
Diciendo que me odia pero que ella no me olvida (no me olvida)
Que como yo me la comí nadie se la comía
What happened, don't I say we were corduroys now?
But I heard your voice memo and I know you're excited
Saying she hates me but she doesn't forget me (she doesn't forget me)
That since I ate it nobody ate it

Ever wonder what's going on with your ex? Andy Rivera and Feid totally get it in "Qué Le Pasa A Mi Ex [Remix]"! This song is all about that confusing situation where an ex claims to be over you, but their actions (and even their voicemails!) say otherwise.

The guys sing about hearing their ex is still thinking about them, even though she's supposedly moving on. They're like, "¿Qué le pasa a mi ex?" [What's wrong with my ex?] because she's out partying, trying to get their attention, and still talking about them. It's a playful look at that push-and-pull of an ex who "me odia y me quiere" [hates me and loves me], and how sometimes, despite their best efforts, they just can't quite let go. They even joke that she's "pasaste de moda como el Atari" [out of style like the Atari] – a pretty blunt way to say they've moved on!

Desde Antes (Since Before)
Yo te lo había dicho antes
Que me tienes loquito, tú con ese booty
Quiero castigarte
Si te pasa lo mismo, pégate más
I had told you before
That you got me crazy, you with that booty
Wanna punish you
If the same thing's happening to you, press up closer

“Desde Antes” plunges listeners into a steamy reggaeton exchange where Colombian star Andy Rivera and VALKA finally act on a crush they have felt “desde antes,” or since way back; over a pulsating beat they confess how her booty, his wild fantasies, and the promise of an all-night ride—literally in a camioneta (truck) and figuratively in bed—make them break every rule and even “romper la dieta,” ditching self-control for pure pleasure; sprinkled with Colombian slang like chimba (awesome) and playful nicknames such as mamacita and shorty, the lyrics celebrate mutual desire, daring confidence, and the thrill of turning private fantasies into reality, all while offering learners a bold dose of everyday Spanish expressions set to an irresistible dance-floor rhythm.

De Party En Party (From Party To Party)
De party en party haciendo ticket
Girando tanto que es difícil que me ubiquen
Pa' cada día tengo nueva las sneaker'
Gracias a Dios estamos sonando to' los weekends
From party to party making money
Spinning so much that it's hard for them to find me
For every day I have new sneakers
Thanks to God we're playing every weekend

De Party En Party is a high-octane anthem that captures the rush of going from the barrio to the big leagues. Andy Rivera teams up with Lil Pump, Noriel, and Kris R. to paint a picture of nonstop fiestas, sold-out shows, and a wallet that keeps getting thicker. The hook “de party en party haciendo ticket” sums it up: every new gig is another stack of cash, another stamp in the passport, and another chance to show off fresh sneakers and luxury brands.

Beneath the flashy shout-outs to Louis Vuitton, Prada, and retro Nikes, the artists celebrate two main ideas: gratitude and grind. They look back at humble beginnings in tiny cars and cramped neighborhoods, then contrast that past with private jets, five-star hotels, and crowds screaming their names. Along the way they thank God, their families, and the streets that first supported them—while still flexing on haters, popping bottles, and enjoying a rain of panties at every show. The result is an unapologetic trap banger that glorifies success, hard work, and living life at full volume.

De Lejitos (From a Distance)
Si estas buscando alguien perfecto, elegante
Que se vista de tu príncipe azul
Mejor que tomes distancia
Porque eso de ser bueno nunca fue una virtud
If you're looking for someone perfect, elegant
Who'll dress up as your prince charming
You'd better keep your distance
Because being good was never a virtue of mine

"De Lejitos" is Andy Rivera's honest warning to someone he's falling for. He admits upfront that he isn't the reliable, "perfect prince" type she might be looking for, so the safest thing for both of them is to keep things casual, or "from a distance."

Through the verses he lists his own flaws, the drinking, the recklessness, the fear of getting too close, and worries about what happens if they get more intimate. He'd rather protect her heart than risk breaking it, even while admitting the attraction is real and hard to resist.

Luigi 21 Plus's guest verse leans into that same bravado, playing the unapologetic bad boy while still circling back to the same idea: better to enjoy this loosely than to pretend it could be something steady.

It's a song about self-awareness in a fling, knowing you might hurt someone and choosing distance as a form of care.

Brisbane
Nadie me ha gustado dando como tú
Así, de esta manera, así como lo haces tú
Es que tu sonrisa, tu forma de mirarme y hacer el amor
Hacen que yo no encuentre en el mundo a nadie mejor
Nobody has liked me giving like you
This way, this way, just the way you do it
It's that your smile, your way of looking at me and making love
They make me not find anyone better in the world

"Brisbane" is a reggaeton track by Andy Rivera with Big Soto, built entirely around physical chemistry with a partner.

The singer opens by saying no one has ever attracted him quite this way, and describes the feeling of being with her as flying, taking off from the ground. Most of the verses stay in that same territory: playful teasing, late nights together, and increasingly direct descriptions of desire.

The title comes from one line that compares how wet she gets to the oceans surrounding Australia. It's not about a trip to Brisbane, just a striking image the song reaches for to describe the intensity of that attraction.

The track closes the way a lot of reggaeton collaborations do, with both artists calling out their own names over the beat as a kind of shared signature.
