CONTENTS SUMMARY
Chanel
Me muero por ver
Tus ojos al volver
Tu piel recorrer
Famoso hazme de ver
I'm dying to see
Your eyes when you return
To caress your skin
Show me that famous side of you

This song is a back-and-forth between two people breaking up, and it's full of mixed signals! One minute they're saying, "Me muero por ver / Tus ojos al volver" (I'm dying to see / Your eyes when you return), but the next, it's a cold shutdown: "No se va a poder / Por más que lo intente / Te tocó perder" (It's not going to happen / No matter how much I try / You had to lose). It feels like a conversation where both people know it's over but can't quite let go of the good memories, or the love that's still there.

They both admit they made mistakes that can't be fixed, calling it a "Cuento de nunca ya acabar" (A never-ending story). The solution they land on is to just accept it and go their separate ways: "Vamos a aceptar / Tú por aquí, yo por allá" (Let's accept it / You over here, me over there). But even after deciding to split, the feelings rush back in. One of them mentions buying expensive gifts like Chanel and Cartier, only for the other person to leave. The song ends on a really sad but honest note, admitting that even though they'll never see each other again, the love is still real: "¿Y eso qué? / Pues te amo, bebé" (So what? / Well, I love you, baby).

POR EL CONTRARIO (ON THE CONTRARY)
Si se supone que ya te olvidé
Que lo de nosotros ya descanse en paz
Dime, ¿qué hago aquí en mi soledad
Pensando en cómo estás?
If it's supposed that I already forgot you
That what we had is already resting in peace
Tell me, what am I doing here in my solitude
Thinking about how you are?

This song is for anyone who's ever had a breakup where you're supposed to be over it, but you're really, really not. Becky G and the Aguilar siblings sing about being stuck wondering about an ex. They ask all the questions you're not supposed to ask: "Dime si hay otra boca que te besa" (Tell me if another mouth is kissing you) and even wonder if their ex covered up their name with a new tattoo. It's that feeling of seeing your ex move on, or at least imagining they have, while you're still completely stuck in the past.

And the singers are going to dramatic lengths to try and feel better. They sing about how, on the contrary, they've almost lost their soul just to avoid the pain. They even tried to make a deal with fate, but karma's response was simple and brutal: "'Todo se paga'" (Everything has a price). The song is full of these huge, desperate feelings, like screaming at God and trying to sell your soul just to feel nothing for a while. It's a powerful look at how memories can hurt, but as they sing, "Pero aún no me matan" (But they haven't killed me yet).

Mayores (Older)
A mí me gusta que me traten como dama
Aunque de eso se me olvide cuando estamos en la cama
A mí me gusta que me digan poesía
Al oído por la noche cuando hacemos groserías
I like to be treated like a lady
Even though I forget about that when we're in bed
I like it when they recite poetry to me
In my ear at night when we do naughty things

Becky G is not shy in this song! She lays out exactly what she's looking for in a partner, and the title "Mayores" (Older Men) gives you the biggest clue. She wants a classic gentleman who will treat her like a lady, someone who will "te abren la puerta / Y te mandan flores" [open the door for you / and send you flowers]. But she also wants someone who is a great lover when things get private.

The song is famous for its super cheeky and clever wordplay. Becky G sings, "A mí me gustan más grandes / Que no me quepa en la boca / Los besos que quiera darme" [I like them bigger / So the kisses he wants to give me / Don't fit in my mouth]. While she's talking about kisses, the lines are a playful hint at something else! Bad Bunny's verse is a direct reply to her. He argues that even though he's young, he can give her everything she wants. He's a "caballero con veintiuno" [a gentleman of twenty-one] who promises he can last longer in bed than an older guy.

CRUZ DE OLVIDO (CROSS OF OBLIVION)
Con el atardecer
Me iré de aquí
Me iré sin ti
Me alejaré de ti
With the sunset
I'll leave from here
I'll leave without you
I'll move away from you

Cruz de Olvido paints the bittersweet picture of a love so deep that the singer is willing to walk away in order to protect the one she adores. As the sun sets, she boards a symbolic boat marked with a “cross of oblivion” and a “cross of love,” knowing that distancing herself is kinder than staying and causing pain. This dramatic farewell is not a denial of love; it is a sacrifice, a promise that her feelings will remain even while she sails into loneliness.

In these heartfelt verses, Becky G blends her Mexican-American roots with a classic ranchera theme: love mixed with honor and resignation. The steady rhythm feels like oars dipping into water, and every line shows the tug-of-war between passion and duty. By choosing departure over damage, the narrator transforms heartbreak into an act of devotion, reminding listeners that sometimes the greatest proof of love is letting go.

Sin Pijama (Without Pajamas)
Solo, solito en la habitación
Busca, que busca de mi calor
Quieres remedio pa' tu dolor
Nadie te lo hace mejor que yo
Alone, all alone in the room
He keeps searching for my warmth
You want a remedy for your pain
Nobody does it to you better than I do

Becky G and Natti Natasha's "Sin Pijama" is a fun, flirty anthem about a late-night hookup. The whole song is basically a phone call where the singers are responding to a guy who's alone and waiting for them. They tell him, "Calmado, que yo voy en camino, amor" [Calm down, I'm on my way, love]. The plan is simple and very direct: "Si tú me llamas / Nos vamos pa' tu casa / Nos quedamos en la cama / Sin pijama, sin pijama" [If you call me / We'll go to your house / We'll stay in bed / Without pajamas, without pajamas].

What makes this song so great is how bold and in control the women are. They're not waiting around; they're making the plans. Becky G even says she didn't bring any sleepwear on purpose: "Que no traje pijama / Porque no me dio la gana" [I didn't bring pajamas / Because I didn't feel like it]. The lyrics get even more confident, with Natti Natasha declaring, "Siempre he sido una dama / Pero soy una perra en la cama" [I've always been a lady / But I'm a b*tch in bed]. It's a powerful and playful song about female desire and owning your sexuality.

MALA SANTA (BAD SAINT)
Dicen que hay peligro cuando salgo
Que no le temo a lo malo
No te confundas que no soy nada de buena
En mis ojos ves maldad
They say there's danger when I go out
That I'm not afraid of the bad
Don't get it twisted, I'm not good at all
In my eyes, you see evil

Becky G is here to tell you that people aren't simple, and she's definitely not. The whole song is a warning not to put her in a box. She states it clearly in the chorus: "No soy ni mala ni santa" [I'm neither bad nor a saint]. She knows people think she's trouble—"Dicen que hay peligro cuando salgo" [They say there's danger when I go out]—but her point is that she contains both sides. She can be the quiet girl, "calladita," but also the wild one who, once she gets going, doesn't want to stop.

This song is all about her owning her desires and having a good time on her own terms. She's not looking for a relationship, flatly stating "No me hablen de amor / Eso a mí no me interesa" [Don't talk to me about love / That doesn't interest me]. Instead, she wants to party "hasta el otro día" [until the next day] with tequila and dancing. She's in complete control of her own fun and sensuality, telling her dance partner that the game has started because she decided it would.

OTRO CAPÍTULO (ANOTHER CHAPTER)
Llevaba tiempo sin verte
Mucho ha cambiado en verdad
Pero las ganas de tenerte, baby
Esas siguen igual
It's been a while without seeing you
A lot has changed really
But the desire to have you, baby
That remains the same

Ever run into an ex and realize... oops, the feelings are still there? That's exactly where Becky G finds herself in this song. She sees an old flame after a long time and admits that while a lot has changed, her desire for him hasn't: "Pero las ganas de tenerte, baby / Esas siguen igual" (But the desire to have you, baby / That's still the same). She even feels like she wasted her time "Buscando en otros lo que tú me das" (Looking in others for what you give me).

Instead of getting stuck on their history, she has a simple, direct proposal. She argues that giving it another shot wasn't in her plans, but since it's happening, why fight it? She asks, "¿Y si nos besamos como antes?" (And what if we kiss like before?). Her solution is to forget the past and just move forward. As she puts it, "Lo que pasó, baby, ya pasó / Vamos a empezar otro capítulo" (What happened, baby, already happened / Let's start another chapter).

BUEN DÍA (GOOD DAY)
Desde que desperté esa mañana
Y tomé mi café en esta ventana
Pensé mamá está bien
Me siento bien
Since I woke up that morning
And I had my coffee at this window
I thought mom's fine
I feel good

Becky G’s “BUEN DÍA” is a musical sunrise that pours optimism into your coffee cup. As she gazes out the window and thanks God, she decides that broken hearts and idle gossip will not dim her glow. By admitting she has faced the same hurts and rumors, Becky flips the script—life is too short to carry other people’s baggage, so she sets it down and steps into the light.

The chorus is a daily mantra: Nunca es tarde para tener un buen día—it is never too late to have a good day. Determined to speak up, ditch her insecurities, and team up with the woman in the mirror, she wakes up “ready to eat the world.” The message is clear and catchy: choose self-love, chase your dreams on your own terms, and let every morning be a fresh, fearless start.

CRIES IN SPANISH
A veces me imagino que tuvimos
El final que los dos queríamos
Si aún fuera tu morra, ¿qué no haríamos?
¿Cómo sería si tú y yo seríamos?
Sometimes I imagine that we had
The ending that we both wanted
If I still were your girl, what wouldn't we do?
How would it be if you and I were together?

Ever had a breakup that just didn't make sense? Becky G has. In "CRIES IN SPANISH," she's looking back at a relationship and trying to figure out what went wrong. She remembers her ex telling her all these amazing things, like "Según yo era tu droga, todo para ti" (Apparently I was your drug, your everything) and "Según no vivías un día sin mí" (Apparently you couldn't live a day without me). But she keeps coming back to one simple, painful question: if all that was true, "Dime por qué no estás aquí" (Tell me why you're not here).

The whole song is full of this confusion. She's so hurt that she can't even finish a TV series they started together or go to their old Friday night spot. She wonders if he feels any of the same pain, or if he even has a heart. It's a really direct look at that moment when you're trying to move on but can't stop questioning if anything you had was real in the first place.

COMO DIABLOS (HOW THE HELL)
Tengo dolor de corazón
Y no se me quita
Ya intenté de todo, pero pa' olvidarte
No existen pastillas
I have heartache
And it doesn't go away
I already tried everything, but to forget you
There are no pills

Becky G is going through a massive heartbreak in this song, and she is not holding back. She opens by saying she has a heartache so bad that "pa' olvidarte / No existen pastillas" [to forget you / there are no pills]. She feels like she's been diagnosed with a lifelong lovesickness. She's completely confused about how her ex could leave, asking him directly, "¿Por qué diablos fue que tú te fuiste?" [Why the hell did you leave?] especially since she gave him more than he ever asked for.

But this isn't just a sad song. She flips the script from feeling down to feeling defiant. She's tired of being miserable while he seems happy. She decides, "pa' la mierda la melancolía" [to hell with melancholy] and starts to reclaim her power. She knows her own worth, declaring, "del uno al diez yo soy un fuckin' cien" [from one to ten, I'm a fuckin' hundred]. The final twist? She calls him out for being unfaithful and says that while they might meet again, he'll never be her official man again because he's an "hijueputa infiel" [unfaithful son of a bitch]. It's a powerful and blunt journey from pain to self-worth.

BAILÉ CON MI EX (I DANCED WITH MY EX)
De madrugada
Voy llegando
Y tú esperándome en la cama
Me desmaquillo
At dawn
I'm getting home
And you're waiting for me in bed
I take my makeup off

Bailé con mi ex spins a late-night confession into a catchy reggaetón groove. Becky G walks through the door at dawn, makeup smudged and buzzed from the club, while her partner is already tucked in. When he sleepily asks how her night went, she blurts out the truth: she literally bumped into her ex on the dance floor. One nostalgic song led to another, and—before she knew it—hours had slipped by, twirling to the memories of their first spark. Yet the chorus is crystal clear: the dance was a flashback, not a relapse. Becky is happy to see her ex doing well, but she loves where she is now.

Beneath the bouncing beat, the lyrics explore honesty in relationships. Rather than hiding the encounter, Becky chooses transparency, emphasizing that the ex is “solo un recuerdo.” The song captures that strangely sweet moment when the past re-appears, stirs old feelings, then fades again—leaving you grateful for your present and confident in your choice. It is a playful reminder that nostalgia can be harmless… as long as your heart knows exactly where it belongs.

QUE HACES (WHAT ARE YOU DOING)
Si me preguntan diré que no
Pero estoy sintiendo celitos por ti
Dios bendiga a la que te enseñó
Para que hoy puedas besarme así
If they ask me, I'll say no
But I'm feeling a little jealous for you
God bless the one who taught you
So that today you can kiss me like this

This song is all about that moment when you try to play it cool but you're already completely head over heels for someone. Becky G starts by admitting she's trying to hide her feelings, singing, "Si me preguntan diré que no / Pero estoy sintiendo celitos por ti" (If they ask me, I'll say no / But I'm feeling a little jealous of you). She was the girl who "no quería querer" (didn't want to love), but now she's totally hooked and counting the days to see him again.

The chorus is where things get really fun and direct. She just throws it all out there, asking, "Dime qué haces / Este viernes y el resto de tu vida" (Tell me what you're doing / This Friday and the rest of your life). It's such a bold move! She then lays out all the possibilities, from casual to life-changing: "¿Nos vemos o qué? ¿Nos casamos o qué? ¿O nos comemos y que el tiempo decida?" (Do we see each other or what? Do we get married or what? Or do we hook up and let time decide?). Manuel Turizo's response is just as confident, promising he's ready for whatever plan she has. It's a playful and passionate back-and-forth about two people who are ready to jump into something serious, or at least have a lot of fun figuring it out.

MAMIII (Audio) (BAAABE)
Lo que no sirve que no estorbe
Te metiste autogol por torpe
Te quedó grande este torque
Ya no estoy pa' que de mí te enamores, baby
What's useless shouldn't be a bother
You scored an own goal because you're clumsy
This torque is too big for you
I'm not here for you to fall in love with me, baby

Get ready for the ultimate breakup anthem! Becky G and KAROL G team up to deliver a powerful message to a toxic ex. This isn't a sad song; it's about empowerment and kicking someone to the curb who doesn't deserve you. They make it clear from the start: "Lo que no sirve que no estorbe" (What's useless shouldn't get in the way). They've completely cut him off, saying "No me vuelvas a llamar / Que hasta boté el celular" (Don't call me again / I even threw away my phone). The best part is the new phone number they offer him: "Llama 1-800-jódete" (Call 1-800-F***-yourself).

They don't hold back when describing him, even calling him a "Rata de dos patas" (Two-legged rat), a famous line from a classic song by Mexican singer Paquita la del Barrio. While he's out with someone new, they know he's still thinking about them: "Andas comiéndote a otra, pero estás pensando en mí" (You're hooking up with another girl, but you're thinking of me). But they have truly moved on. They're at the party, have new guys lined up, and are not looking back. As KAROL G says at the end, sometimes you don't get replaced by someone better, or even by someone "más rico" (hotter).

Cuando Te Besé (When I Kissed You)
Y cuando te vi
Supe que no eras para mí
Seguro tenías a alguien que no lo ibas a dejar ir
Pero cuando te vi te juro que me decidí
And when I saw you
I knew that you weren't for me
Sure you had someone that you weren't going to let go
But when I saw you, I swear to you that I decided

This song is all about that one perfect, electrifying first kiss. Becky G and Paulo Londra tell the story of seeing someone and immediately thinking, "Supe que no eras para mí" (I knew you weren't for me), probably because they were already with someone else. But the connection is so strong that they decide to go for it anyway. The result is a kiss so amazing they feel like they've touched the heavens: "Cuando te besé / Sentí que toqué el cielo" (When I kissed you / I felt I touched the sky). They have zero regrets and would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

What starts as a simple walk, holding hands, and an unexplainable feeling quickly turns into something more. Paulo Londra's part is especially sweet; he says he was "Forever alone pero te vi a vos" (Forever alone but I saw you) and suddenly his whole world changed. He's completely captivated, begging for one more dance and admitting this person is the only one who "puede calmar mi corazón" (can calm my heart). It's a story of instant chemistry and the hope that a single, perfect moment can turn into something real.

MAMIII (BAAABE)
Lo que no sirve que no estorbe
Te metiste autogol por torpe
Te quedó grande este torque
Ya no estoy pa' que de mí te enamores, baby
What's useless shouldn't be a bother
You scored an own goal because you're clumsy
This torque is too big for you
I'm not here for you to fall in love with me, baby

Get ready for the ultimate breakup anthem! Becky G and KAROL G team up to tell a toxic ex exactly where to go. They're not sad or heartbroken; they're completely over it and celebrating their freedom. The song opens with the line, "Lo que no sirve que no estorbe" (What's useless shouldn't get in the way), making it clear they're cleaning house. They tell the ex he scored an "autogol por torpe" (own goal for being clumsy) and that his fake love has been sent on a one-way trip "Pa' la mierda y nunca vuelvas" (To hell, and never come back). It's a powerful message about cutting off someone who is harmful and moving on without looking back.

This song is also full of incredibly sharp and funny insults. They compare the ex to a "Rata de dos patas" (Two-legged rat), a famous line from another Mexican singer, Paquita la del Barrio. They even leave him a bad review: "Te dejé el review, no te puse ni una estrella" (I left you a review, I didn't even give you one star). The best part is when they tell him not to call because they changed their number, but if he really wants it, he can "Llama 1-800-jódete" (Call 1-800-f***-you). It’s a confident, funny, and fierce declaration of independence.

CHULA (Cute Girl)
Linda, preciosa
Bella, hermosa
Mi bonita, mamasota
Otro nivel, una diosa
Pretty, precious
Beautiful, beautiful
My pretty one, 'mamasota' (hottie)
Another level, a goddess

Becky G opens by listing every compliment she has already heard — linda, preciosa, bella, hermosa — and then admits that none of them land. The piropos and the thousands of roses are pleasant enough, but they are the words anyone would reach for. The one she is waiting on is chula.

That is the hinge of the song. Chula is the affectionate, slightly teasing Mexican way of calling someone gorgeous, and from one particular person it does what the grander words cannot. The second verse makes the case smaller and more specific: he texts her, asks what she is up to, says he wants to kiss her — and that ordinary attention is exactly what the rest never managed. By the outro the word has come apart into pure sound, chu-chu-chu-chu-chula, which is roughly what a compliment becomes once you have decided to believe it.

La Respuesta (The Answer)
Me dijeron en la calle
Que por mí tú andas preguntando
Yo no sé que te dijeron
Pero amores yo no ando buscando
They told me in the street
That you're going around asking for me
I don't know what they told you
But I'm not going around looking for love

This song is a hilarious back-and-forth between Becky G and Maluma. She's heard he's been asking about her, and she wants to make one thing perfectly clear: she is not interested. Becky G lays out her terms for any potential partner, and they don't involve traditional gender roles. She flatly states, "Yo no te lavo los trastes / Tampoco plancho tu ropa" (I don't wash your dishes / I don't iron your clothes either). She's a completely independent woman who buys her own things and doesn't need a man to support her or control her. If he's looking for a housewife, he needs to look elsewhere.

Maluma's response is just as confident, at least at first. He tries to play it cool, saying he's also looking for an independent woman. But then he shows his true colors with a funny, cocky line: "Si estás buscándote algún hombre que no joda / Eso no existe, te vas a quedar sola" (If you're looking for a man who won't mess with you / That doesn't exist, you're going to end up alone). Despite her very clear rejection, he keeps insisting, proving her point entirely. The song's title, which means "The Answer," is her final word on the subject: "La respuesta a tu pregunta es no" (The answer to your question is no).

2NDO CHANCE (SECOND CHANCE)
Mis amigas hoy salieron
Y yo aquí en mi cuarto me quedé
Escuchando nuestro playlist
Viendo fotos que no publiqué
My friends today went out
And I stayed here in my room
Listening to our playlist
Looking at photos that I didn't post

This song is a perfect duet for when you're going through a breakup but can't quite let go. Becky G starts things off by staying home alone while her friends go out. She's stuck in her room, listening to their old playlist and looking at photos, feeling totally conflicted: "No sé si decir te amo / Que te odio, que te quiero ver" (I don't know if I should say I love you / That I hate you, that I want to see you). The worst part for her is imagining her ex at a party, doing all the things they used to do, but with someone new. She just wants him to call and say he misses her, even if it's not true: "Aunque sea mentira" (Even if it's a lie).

Then Ivan Cornejo comes in with his side of the story, and it turns out he's feeling the exact same way! He remembers her saying she couldn't live without him, "Sin mí te morirías / Pero sigues viva" (Without me you would die / But you're still alive), which is such a blunt and sad line. He admits his own sun doesn't shine without her, "mi sol ya no brilla", but he still hopes she's happy. They both just want to hear that the other person is miserable without them, making this a powerful song about two people who are apart but sharing the same heartbreak.

QUERIDO ABUELO (DEAR GRANDPA)
Querido abuelo
Tu recuerdo aquí en mi alma siempre está
Daría todo
Por sentirte y abrazarte una vez más
Dear grandpa
Your memory is always here in my soul
I'd give everything
To feel you and hug you once more

“Querido Abuelo” is Becky G’s heartfelt letter to her late grandfather, a man whose sombrero still waits by the door and whose spirit keeps the family ranch alive in memory. Through nostalgic snapshots – the smell of the countryside at dawn, sleeping on the floor yet feeling “millonaria” just to be near her grandparents – she celebrates humble roots, unconditional support, and the pride of carrying his blood. The song turns grief into gratitude: while time ran out for one last hug, his words “Persigue tus sueños” echo in every achievement she makes today.

More than a goodbye, the track is a promise to honor his legacy. Becky bridges her Mexican-American identity with ranchera-tinged pop, reminding listeners that true wealth is found in family, tradition, and the courage to dream big. “Querido Abuelo” invites learners to feel the warmth of cariño, the sting of loss, and the power of perseverance – all wrapped in a melody that makes Spanish vocabulary and cultural themes unforgettable.

DESIERTO (DESERT)
Ojalá que un día te caiga el veinte de que tú y yo
Ya no seremos, y que eso te rompa en mil el corazón
Porque te veo muy feliz no más
Con las stories en Instagram
I hope that one day it hits you that you and I
Won't be anymore, and that that shatters your heart in a thousand pieces
Because I just see you so happy
With your stories on Instagram

Desierto is Becky G’s no-filter revenge anthem, wrapped in a catchy Latin-pop beat. Drawing from her Mexican-American roots, she fires off vivid Spanish lines that wish every possible bad-luck scenario on the ex who ditched her. From calling out his picture-perfect Instagram life to hoping he runs out of water in a real desert, Becky turns heartbreak into bold, almost playful curses that drip with attitude.

Beneath the savage one-liners, the song is really about karma. Becky believes the pain she feels will circle back until her ex feels it too, especially when the new girl eventually cheats on him. The “desert” isn’t just a place; it’s the dry, lonely wasteland she predicts for his future. It is a fierce reminder that pretending to be happy online can’t hide genuine regret, and that sometimes the best closure is dancing while the universe handles payback.

CRISIS
Si me llamas hoy o mañana
Sabes bien que voy a verte
No hace falta decir que me extrañas
Sé muy bien cómo te sientes
If you call me today or tomorrow
You know well that I'm going to see you
There's no need to say that you miss me
I know very well how you feel

Ever missed someone so much it felt like a full-blown emergency? That's the feeling Becky G and Tito Double P sing about in "CRISIS". The song is a back-and-forth between two ex-lovers who just can't stay away from each other. They both know that if one of them calls, the other will drop everything, admitting, "Si me llamas hoy o mañana / Sabes bien que voy a verte" (If you call me today or tomorrow / You know well I'm going to see you).

They tried to move on, but it's not working. Even drinking doesn't help erase the memories. One of them promised to stop talking, but the other makes it clear that "Nadie ha podido ocupar tu lugar" (No one has been able to take your place). The feeling is so intense that being apart makes them "pongo crazy y entro en crisis" (go crazy and go into a crisis). It's a dramatic, relatable song about a connection that's too strong to break.

POR UN AMOR (FOR A LOVE)
Por un amor
Me desvelo y vivo apasionada
Tengo un amor
Que en mi vida dejó para siempre
For a love
I stay awake and live passionately
I have a love
That left forever in my life

This song is about a love that has left nothing but pain. Becky G sings about how this one relationship has completely wrecked her. She says it has left a permanent "amargo dolor" (bitter pain) in her life. The feeling is so intense that she wishes her life would end, singing, "Esta vida es mejor que se acabe / No es para mí" (This life is better if it ends / It's not for me).

She uses some really strong images to describe her suffering. Her chest physically hurts, and she claims to have cried "gotitas de sangre del corazón" (little drops of blood from the heart). It's a song that doesn't hold back on the drama of a broken heart, showing how a person can be left with a wounded soul and no compassion from the one who left.

NI DE TI NI DE NADIE (NEITHER YOURS NOR ANYONE'S)
Si quieres probar puedo ser tu mejor secreto
Pero no te enamores de mí
Que no me comprometo
Así que no me des labia
If you wanna try I can be your best secret
But don't fall in love with me
That I don't commit
So don't give me sweet talk

Becky G is not messing around in this song. She makes her intentions crystal clear from the very first line: "Si quieres probar puedo ser tu mejor secreto / Pero no te enamores de mí / Que no me comprometo" (If you want to try, I can be your best secret / But don't fall in love with me / Because I don't commit). This isn't a song about maybe falling in love later; it's a declaration of independence. She's open to having a good time, but that's it. She even has a great, blunt line for when someone tries to change her mind, saying her heart is "Fuera de servicio, lo dejé en mantenimiento" (Out of service, I left it in maintenance).

She repeats the main idea over and over, making sure there's no confusion: "Porque no soy de ti, ni de nadie" (Because I'm not yours, or anyone's). It's a powerful statement about owning her own feelings and choices. She insists that "Nadie elegirá de quién y cuándo enamorarme" (No one will choose who and when I fall in love), putting herself completely in control. The song is a straightforward anthem for anyone who isn't looking for a serious relationship and wants to be upfront about it.
