CONTENTS SUMMARY
DJ No Pare [Remix] (DJ Don’t Stop [Remix])
Suena mi canción y me pongo bien sata
Mala y quiero darle
Hasta abajo, sin miedo, con mi bandida
Es que pa' luego es tarde
My song plays and I get real slutty
Bad and I wanna give it
Down to the floor, no fear, with my partner in crime
'Cause later is too late

DJ No Pare [Remix] is a high-octane reggaetón anthem that captures the electric buzz of a Caribbean night when nobody wants to leave the dance floor. Justin Quiles unites a dream team of urban stars—Zion, Farruko, Natti Natasha, Lenny Tavárez and Dalex—to beg the DJ not to hit the off switch. Over thumping bass and sparkling synths, they trade verses about paying the DJ extra, keeping the lights low, and pushing the party from 3 a.m. all the way to sunrise. The repeated line “Pónsela DJ” (“Spin it, DJ”) turns the track into a shout-along request for endless music, twerking and wild, carefree fun.

Beneath the fiesta vibes, the song doubles as a celebration of freedom and confidence. The women in the lyrics own the night: they’re single, stylish and in total control of their bodies, turning heads with every move while shrugging off worries and heartbreak. References to classic reggaetón (“Otro Trago”) and playful nods to weed culture reinforce the anything-goes atmosphere. In short, DJ No Pare [Remix] is an invitation to drop your inhibitions, dance until dawn and savor the pulse of Puerto Rican nightlife where the only rule is keep the music playing. 🎉

Si Tú (If You)
J Quiles
Con el Plan B
Ya yo te imaginé
Que te probé y te toqué
J Quiles
With Plan B
I already imagined you
That I tried you and touched you

"Si Tú" is Justin Quiles' reggaeton come-on to a woman he can't stop chasing, with Plan B and Magnifico backing him up. The hook keeps circling the same confession — "Ya yo te imaginé" (I already imagined you), "Que te probé y te toqué" (that I tried you and touched you) — while the pre-chorus lays out the dare itself: "Y si tú, uh uh uh / Aprovecharas bien el momento" (And if you, uh uh uh, made the most of the moment). He's still working for it, too — "Ando buscando la manera a ver cómo te puedo hacer mi señora" (I'm looking for a way to see how I can make you my lady).

By the time the guest verses show up, the warning turns literal — "Corres peligro cuando te veo" (You're in danger when I see you) — and the compliments become a full outfit check: "Philipp Plein, Versace, Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior." Underneath the name-drops the want stays blunt: "Te quiero desnuda pa' mí" (I want you naked for me).

Turismo (Tourism)
Lo nuestro fue como el turismo
Que en poco tiempo intentamos conocernos
Aquella noche de verano se fue temprano
Y ahora todito es invierno
Ours was like tourism
That in a short time we tried to get to know each other
That summer night left early
And now everything's winter

Have you ever had a super intense, short-lived romance that felt like a whirlwind trip? That's exactly what Justin Quiles is singing about in "Turismo"! He compares their brief but passionate connection to tourism, saying, "Lo nuestro fue como el turismo / Que en poco tiempo intentamos conocernos" [What we had was like tourism / In a short time we tried to get to know each other].

He's totally smitten, even though it was just one night. He sings, "El mapa me llevó a tus labios y allí perdido / Fue donde encontré el camino" [The map led me to your lips and there, lost / Is where I found the way]. But then reality hits with "fronteras" [borders], and now he's a "turista perdido" [lost tourist], thinking about her all day. He really wants to go back and wishes they had more time, blaming it on time itself: "Echémosle la culpa al tiempo / Que no fue quien para alargar / Lo nuestro en el mejor momento" [Let's blame time / That wasn't able to prolong / What we had at the best moment]. He even says, "Tenerte es un mandamiento bíblico" [Having you is a biblical commandment] – talk about strong feelings for a one-day romance!

BOOM BOOM
Bajé su traje mientras el sol salió
Estaba amaneci'a
De la monotonía aborreci'a
Yo le serví de noche como luna y de sol en el día
I pulled down her dress while the sun came out
It was dawning
She was sick of the monotony
I served her at night like the moon and like the sun in the day

Justin Quiles, the Puerto Rican hit-maker, teams up with Venezuelan band Rawayana for a tropical love rush in “BOOM BOOM.” From the very first lines we’re pulled onto a sunrise beach where routine gets tossed aside, a swimsuit slips away, and the singer promises to be her moon at night and her sun by day. The imagery of floating without touching the sand and dancing as soon as the music drops shows how this romance lifts the couple above everyday life, turning their world into a brand-new cinema.

Every time the hook lands, that pulsing boom-boom is both the bass line and a racing heartbeat. Quiles is hopelessly hooked, confessing that she distracts him so much he ends up writing songs and posting love-soaked statuses just for her. References to Caribbean fire, late-night parties, and a private “other vocabulary” reveal a relationship fueled by chemistry, rhythm, and playful intimacy. In short, the song is an invitation to move your body, feel the heat, and let love’s explosive beat take over.

No Quieren Que Gane (They Don't Want Me to Win)
No quieren que gane yo
Que salga bonito los sábados
Me tiran la Mala y yo
Sigo por encima eso es lo que les duele
They don't want me to win
They want me to have a bad time on Saturdays
They throw me the bad vibes and I
Keep rising above, that's what hurts them

Justin Quiles is here to tell everyone he's winning, and he knows some people aren't happy about it! In "No Quieren Que Gane" [They Don't Want Me To Win], he's basically saying, 'You can throw all the shade you want, but I'm still going to come out on top.' He sings, "Me tiran la Mala y yo Sigo por encima eso es lo que les duele" [They throw bad vibes at me, and I keep rising above, that's what hurts them].

He's been in the game for a while, and he's not slowing down. He even asks for divine intervention for his haters, saying, "Cristo por favor tú ten piedad De todo el que me mira mal" [Christ, please have mercy on everyone who looks at me badly]. It's a fun, confident track about overcoming jealousy and staying true to his path. He's not just winning; he's making sure everyone knows it, especially those who wish he wasn't!

Loco (Crazy)
Yo soy loco cuando lo mueve así
Duro, encima de mí
Dale, ponte para mí
Que te quiero sentir
I am crazy when you move it like that
Hard, on top of me
Come on, get on me
That I want to feel you

Feel the beat, lose your mind, and fall into a dance-floor love story!

Loco” pairs Puerto Rican sensation Justin Quiles with reggaetón legends Zion & Lennox and Dominican party-starter Chimbala. From the very first line, the singers confess they go crazy the moment their crush starts to move. The club lights flash, the drinks kick in, and every hip swing turns the night into a magnetic game of attraction. Both sides admit, “Me muero por ti y tú te mueres por mí” (I’m dying for you and you’re dying for me), so there is nothing left to discuss—only the pulse of the music.

At its core, the song celebrates confidence, chemistry, and living in the now. The repeated chorus works like a hypnotic chant, urging the listener to forget tomorrow and surrender to rhythm tonight. “Loco” is more than a party track; it’s an invitation to let desire take the lead, dance without limits, and enjoy that electric spark when two people connect under the spell of reggaetón.

Orgullo (Pride)
Justin Quiles, J Balvin
Ella me dice que la llame
Pero está mal acostumbrada
Así que hoy hay cambio de planes
Justin Quiles, J Balvin
She tells me that I should call her
But she's spoiled
So today there's a change of plans

Orgullo paints the picture of a couple trapped in a playful yet painful tug-of-war, where ego is the real jailer. Justin Quiles and J Balvin confess that they stalk each other on Instagram, count the hours until the other one texts, and replay memories of better days, but neither wants to make the first move. The chorus says it all: “Me está matando el orgullo cuando más quiero estar al lado tuyo” – pride is killing them right when they most want to be together. Their love started hot, almost reckless, and now it flickers as each waits for a sign, refusing to surrender that tiny word “sorry.”

Wrapped in a smooth reggaeton beat, the song feels like late-night messages that hover unsent. Its message is universal: when pride gets louder than our feelings, we risk losing someone who might actually be perfect for us. Listening to “Orgullo” is a reminder to put the phone down, step out of the stalemate, and choose vulnerability over silence.

Ponte Pa' Mi (Get On Me)
Llega el verano y se broncea
Qué rica está
Está más buena, maldita sea
Qué rica está
Summer arrives and she tans
How delicious she looks
She looks so good, damn it
How delicious she looks

Justin Quiles is here to shoot his shot in "Ponte Pa' Mi"! This song is all about him trying to convince a woman to give him a chance. He's clearly smitten, noticing how good she looks in the summer sun, saying she's "más buena, maldita sea" [so good, damn]. He's heard she's a bit closed off, but he confidently declares, "Ya llegó el que la abre" [The one who opens her has arrived].

He's ready to be her new man, pointing out that "desde hace rato, tú no tienes gato" [for a while now, you haven't had a boyfriend]. He wants to give her some "mantenimiento" [maintenance], which he playfully explains means things like kissing her back, and getting down to business. He's not shy about his intentions and believes he's a big upgrade from her last guy, telling her, "Para él tú eras un five, para mí tú eres un ten" [For him you were a five, for me you're a ten]. He's basically saying, "Ponte para mí" [Get with me]!

No Quiero Amarte (I Don't Want to Love You)
Yo no quiero amarte, yo no quiero amarte
Quiero recogerte un viernes y entregarte un martes
Que conmigo la pases como con nadie
Quiero conocer más allá de tu timidez
I don't want to love you, I don't want to love you
I want to pick you up on a Friday and drop you off on a Tuesday
So that with me you have a time like with nobody else
I want to know what is beyond your shyness

The hook is a scheduling problem. «Yo no quiero amarte» (I do not want to love you), Justin Quiles says, and then explains what he does want instead: «Quiero recogerte un viernes y entregarte un martes» (I want to pick you up on a Friday and drop you off on a Tuesday). Four days, returned by Tuesday. It is a blunt way to put it, and the whole song runs on how badly the rest of the lyrics contradict it.

Because he keeps describing something that sounds a lot like love. He wants «conocer más allá de tu timidez» (to know what is beyond your shyness), he has noticed «que tienes un lado oscuro» (that you have a dark side), and by the second verse Zion & Lennox are offering wine and a second date: «Dos copas de vino y un Franco de Vita» (two glasses of wine and some Franco de Vita), a Venezuelan balladeer whose songs are the opposite of casual. Then «Hoy tú y yo cambiaremos el destino» (today you and I will change our fate). That is not a four-day plan. The refrain never admits it.

Nunca Imaginé (I Never Imagined)
J Quiles
Kevin Roldán
Ella subió una foto al instagram de ella
Le comenté, le dije que se veía bella
J Quiles
Kevin Roldán
She uploaded a photo to her Instagram
I commented, I told her that she looked beautiful

Nunca Imaginé is a flirty reggaetón tale that starts with a single Instagram photo and snowballs into a night of irresistible chemistry. Justin Quiles (Puerto Rico) and Kevin Roldán (Colombia) paint a modern love-at-first-DM story: he compliments her picture, she replies in private, and the spark pulls them from the screen straight to the dance floor. The lyrics follow their whirlwind connection as they trade confident banter, ditch their inhibitions, and give in to desire, all while Quiles marvels that this captivating woman seems meant for him alone.

Beneath the sensual imagery, the song celebrates the thrill of today’s digital courtship—the idea that one bold message can rewrite gravity and make everything else fade away. Her commanding voice, his playful persistence, and the pulsating club setting mix into an anthem about seizing the moment and owning mutual attraction. By the time the chorus hits, it is clear: neither of them “imagined” how quickly virtual flirting could turn into real-world passion, but neither wants to let go of the high it brings.
