CONTENTS SUMMARY
Te Boté (Remix) (I Dumped You)
Paso muchas noches pensándote
Yo no sé ni cómo ni cuándo fue
Pero sólo sé que yo recordé
Cómo que te lo hacía yo aquella vez
I spend many nights thinking about you
I don't even know how or when it was
But I only know that I remembered
How I used to do it to you that time

This is the ultimate breakup anthem. "Te Boté" literally means "I Threw You Out," and the song is a massive collaboration where each artist takes a turn telling an ex that it's over. They are not gentle about it. The main chorus repeats the message over and over: "De mi vida te boté y te boté" (From my life I threw you out, I threw you out).

Each verse adds a new layer of anger, bragging, and sometimes, a little bit of sadness. Bad Bunny comes in with lines like "Baby, la vida es un ciclo / Y lo que no sirve yo no lo reciclo" (Baby, life is a cycle / And what's useless, I don't recycle), saying he's done with her lies and has already moved on. Other artists jump in to say they feel great without her, are breaking hearts now, and have plenty of money and new women. Ozuna's part is interesting because he admits he'll miss her, saying "Miento si digo que no me hace falta cuando me rozaba tu piel" (I'm lying if I say I don't miss it when your skin touched mine), but then he immediately follows it up by saying he's going out to party. It's a powerful and very direct song about kicking someone out of your life for good.

Soltero (Single)
Ya me da igual donde puede estar
Seré que si se va, yo solo me voy a quedar
Tengo pa' escoger, si alguna va a pichar
Pero, como yo soy yo, dime, ¿quién me va a pichar?
I don't care anymore where you could be
It might be that if you leave, I'll just be left alone
I've got options to choose from if one of them ignores
But since I'm me, tell me, who is gonna ignore me?

Put on your best party outfit and turn the volume up! In “Soltero,” Puerto Rican hit-maker Nio García teams up with Juanka and Brray to shout from the rooftops that being single can feel like winning the lottery. The verses walk us through a neon-lit night of clubs, flirtation, and swagger where the narrator shrugs off a past flame, claiming he forgot her in just one week. Far from heartbroken, he is busy choosing from new admirers, bragging about his freedom, and enjoying the rush of late-night adventures.

Beneath the playful bravado, the song hides a cheeky revenge plot: “you played with me, then I played back.” Instead of dwelling on hurt feelings, the trio flips the script and turns heartbreak into a reason to celebrate. “Soltero” mixes spicy lyrics, streetwise humor, and pulsating reggaetón beats to remind listeners that confidence and self-love can be just as exciting as romance—especially when the dance floor is calling.

Ojalá (I Wish)
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
Dicen que lo que toca el alma no se olvida
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
They say that what touches the soul isn't forgotten

Nio Garcia and Maisak build "Ojalá" around a specific kind of bitterness: not wanting an ex back, but wanting her to hurt the same way he does. The hook says it outright: "Ojalá sientas lo que yo estoy sintiendo" [I hope you feel what I'm feeling]. He's not pretending to be over it, and in the verses he pictures every way she's moved on without him: "Que otro te toque, que te bese, que te vea por la calle" [that someone else touches you, kisses you, sees you on the street].

The self-pity turns almost funny in places, like when he admits "Hasta un perro me volví" [I even turned into a dog]. By the end he stops waiting for an apology and hands the whole thing over to fate instead: "Angelito, vuela, que allá arriba el karma te espera" [little angel, fly, because up there karma is waiting for you]. It plays less like a love song and more like a grudge set to a beat, and Nio Garcia never dresses that up as anything softer.

Mela
SOG
Qué pista pá'
¿Sí sabe, mi amor?
Mami, se ve mela con la lencería
SOG
What a track
Do you know, my love?
Mommy, you look great in lingerie

"Mela" is Puerto Rican slang for looking good, and the hook never gets past one picture: "Mami, se ve mela con la lencería / Roja escarlata" (Mami, you look incredible in that lingerie / Scarlet red). The narrator has already taken it off her, and that is what he says settled things — "Y desde que yo se la quité / No quiero otra gata" (And ever since I took it off her / I don't want another girl). About the rest of her life he is blunter: "Tiene par de flete', ninguno que la entienda" (She's got a couple of guys on the go, not one of them understands her).

The verses are a running boast, and they contradict that hook within seconds: "Con ninguna me levanto / Pero con todas me acuesto" (I wake up with none of them / But I go to bed with all of them). Money answers every objection — "La baby sabe que es cara / Pero tengo el presupuesto" (The baby knows she's expensive / But I've got the budget) — and the one line that plays as a joke hands her the credit: "Yo soy el artista, pero ella es la que canta" (I'm the artist, but she's the one who sings). Nio García, Blessd and SOG each take a turn over the same beat.

Amor Con Rabia (Love With Rage)
Muchos te miran, pero yo solamente te toco
Tú sabes que si hablan de ti, hablan de nosotros
Porque to' lo mío es tuyo y yo solo te tengo a ti
Y eres lo único que no voy a compartir
Many look at you, but I only touch you
You know that if they talk about you, they're talking about us
Because everything I have is yours, and I only have you
And you're the only thing I won't share

"Amor Con Rabia" opens with a claim, not a compliment: "Muchos te miran, pero yo solamente te toco" [Many look at you, but I only touch you]. The hook repeats the title as an instruction — "Házmelo con ganas, con amor y con rabia" [Do it to me with desire, with love, and with rage] — and that's really the whole song: tenderness and possessiveness in the same breath, neither one winning. The woman they're singing about isn't passive about any of it either: "Le gusta que la controlen, pero ella nunca le baja" [She likes to be controlled, but she never backs down].

Juhn's verse trades the jealousy for bragging — a private jet, "siete dígito' con par de cero'" [seven digits with a couple of zeros] in the bank, and a line that only makes sense in a reggaeton verse: "Eso allá atrás tiene más poderes que el guante de Thano'" [That thing back there has more power than Thanos' gauntlet]. It's a flex dressed up as a compliment, which is basically the genre in one line.

Arabe (Arab)

Los verdaderos niveles
Hoy es viernes y me voy a janguear
SoundMusic
W
The true levels
Today is Friday and I'm going to hang out

Get ready to party with Nio Garcia and Wisin's "Arabe"! This song is all about living large and enjoying life to the fullest. The lyrics kick off with a Friday night vibe, ready to hit the club: "Hoy es viernes y me voy a janguear" [Today is Friday and I'm going to hang out]. They're going all out, with twenty bottles and plenty of money to spend, making it clear that nobody's holding back.

The chorus is super catchy and really sets the tone: "Yo vivo como un árabe" [I live like an Arab]. This isn't about nationality, but about a lavish lifestyle, attracting attention from many. Nio Garcia boasts about women calling him, wanting to be with him, and he playfully asks, "¿Están ciego, ustedes no me ven?" [Are you blind, don't you see me?]. The song describes a wild night of dancing, smoking, and flirting, with lines like "Perreo musulmán, pa' que te pongas sensitiva" [Muslim perreo, so you get sensitive] and even a trip to a resort. It's a fun, energetic track that'll make you want to dance and embrace that extravagant, no-holds-barred attitude!

Mezcal
Corta es su mini, anda en bajita
Las nalgas grande, tú, chiquitita
To' el mundo te desea
Juro que cuando yo te vea
Her mini-skirt is short, she's on the low
Big butt, and you're so petite
The whole world wants you
I swear that when I see you

Nio García spends the whole of "Mezcal" in a tense that hasn't happened yet. The song is a plan for a night, not a memory of one: "Si llego pa' la disco, y te veo entrar" (If I get to the club and I see you walk in), and then the comparison the title comes from — "Voy a darte duro, como un shot de mezcal" (I'm going to give it to you hard, like a shot of mezcal). Mezcal is drunk in one go and felt straight away, and that is the entire boast. Each verse loops back to the same promise, "Juro cuando te vea" (I swear, when I see you), and the bravado around it is cartoonish on purpose — he is going to kidnap her, "Como un gangster te voy a secuestrar" (Like a gangster, I'm going to kidnap you), which is a way of saying he has no actual plan beyond wanting her to come over.

The chorus drops the posturing and turns into instructions: "Si ponen un perreo, ven, perréame" (If they put on a perreo, come and grind on me), "Con tu mirada bellaca, provócame" (With that dirty look of yours, tease me), "Tú te crees mala, pues, en la cama mátame" (You think you're bad — so kill me in bed). That last line hands the power back to her, and it is the only moment in the song where he is not the one doing the taking. By the final minute the words stop finishing at all — "pégate-pegá-" — clipped and looped over the beat until the track simply runs out.

Autor (Author)
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Mueve ese culo, chapa
Mami chula
La vida me quitado las ganas de querer vivirla
Yeah-yeah-yeah
Move that ass, dude
cool mommy
Life has taken away my desire to live it

Nio Garcia's "Autor" is a really emotional track about a love lost, where the singer feels like he's been relegated to a supporting role in his own life story. He's heartbroken, saying, "La vida me quitado las ganas de querer vivirla / Ya que no es contigo" [Life has taken away my desire to live it / Since it's not with you]. He feels like the 'happily ever after' he imagined with his love was a lie, and now he's forced to watch her with someone else.

He describes himself as the "Autor de cuento de otro" [Author of someone else's story], condemned to write her history with another man. It's a powerful image of feeling like an "antagonista" [antagonist] in his own narrative, with the painful price of seeing her with someone new. He repeatedly pleads, "Ay mami, no me dejes solo" [Oh mommy, don't leave me alone], showing just how much he misses her and how broken he feels.

Horny
Sound Music
Nio
Ella tiene todo lo que necesita
Entra a la disco con aroma a marihuana
Sound Music
Nio
She has everything she needs
She enters the club with the smell of marijuana

Nio Garcia's "Horny" is all about a wild night out and a passionate connection! The song sets the scene with a woman who has everything she needs, walking into the club smelling of marijuana and taking tequila shots because "eso a ella le excita" [that excites her].

He's confident that even though "Ella siempre le tiran" [everyone always hits on her], she's only got eyes for him because "yo la pongo horny" [I make her horny]. The lyrics describe them hooking up all night, "Chingamos de noche, y terminamos en la morning" [We hook up at night, and finish in the morning], and how she's always with friends but doesn't need a boarding pass to travel. He even brags about eating her up completely, "completa me la comí" [I ate her up completely], and how she skips university to be with him because he satisfies her like no one else. It's a pretty blunt and playful take on a no-holds-barred encounter!

Shortycita (Little Shorty)
Diablo, baby
Me levanté bien bellaco hoy
Qué complicaíta' me salió la shortycita
Me tiene soñándola encima mío trepaíta'
Damn, baby
I woke up real horny today
How complicated that little shorty turned out
I've got her climbing on top of me in my dreams

“Shortycita” dives straight into the heat of modern Puerto Rican reggaetón, following Nio García as he wakes up “bien bellaco” and laser-focuses on a captivating blonde who just clocked out of work. Over a hypnotic beat he mixes playful bravado with explicit imagery, promising weed, codeine-tinged drinks, and non-stop passion. The central message is clear: Nio wants to rescue her from a neglectful boyfriend, unleash her wild side, and prove he can satisfy every craving—physical and emotional—without holding back.

Beneath the seductive wordplay, the track celebrates confidence, unfiltered desire, and the thrill of living in the moment. It’s a bold invitation to forget the rules, follow your instincts, and let the music fuel an unforgettable night of freedom and pleasure.

Anónima (Anonymous)
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Woh
Muchos la conocen, doble identidad
Yeah-yeah
Yeah-yeah, yeah
Woh
Lots of people know her, double identity

“Anónima” drops listeners into the adrenaline-charged world of a hush-hush hookup that feels as expensive and risky as it is irresistible.

Nio García and Brytiago paint the story of two kindred rebels who share double identities: by day they keep up appearances, but when the night lights hit the club, they text each other a secret PIN and the sparks fly. The chemistry is raw, total, and anything but romantic—they call, they meet, they satisfy their cravings, then slip back into the shadows before anyone can catch on. Their bond is a playful tug-of-war between lust and danger: they “love, hate, repeat,” fueled by the thrill of staying anonymous even while they know every curve and every vice. In short, the song is an unapologetic celebration of clandestine passion in the reggaetón nightlife, where the risk only makes the fire burn hotter.

Por Ahora (For Now)
Tu amor es eso que cura como medicina
Contigo me siento seguro aunque no tenga la corta encima
Tú eres como las Air Force blanca
Que con cualquier cosa me combinas, mmm
Your love is that thing that heals like medicine
With you I feel safe even if I don't have the piece on me
You're like the white Air Force Ones
That you match me with anything, mmm

Por Ahora is Nio García’s playful confession that he is head-over-heels right now and willing to squeeze every drop of joy out of the moment. The Puerto Rican hitmaker compares his partner to everything that makes him feel invincible: a life-saving medicine, a pair of fresh white Air Force sneakers that match any outfit, even the thrill of a legendary night in Miami. He knows good things can be fleeting, so he vows to love her por ahora—for now—while promising he would still wait a lifetime if that is what real love demands.

Bouncing between tender praise and swagger-filled lines about Ferraris, designer fits, and unforgettable intimacy, the song captures the push-and-pull of modern romance: live fast, love hard, and worry about tomorrow when it comes. Under the infectious reggaetón beat, Nio turns vulnerability into a celebration, reminding listeners that sometimes the best way to honor love is to revel in the present, even if the future is uncertain.

Nunca Creiste (You Never Believed)
Ahora sí
L-Gante, ¿que lo qué?
Cumbia 420
Sabes que a mí me gusta la calle
Now it's on
L-Gante, what's up?
Cumbia 420
You know that I like the streets

Nunca Creíste is a playful street romance where Nio García and L-Gante narrate the thrill of sneaking away from the ordinary. The woman in the story feels empty and undervalued by her boyfriend, so she turns to the singer for excitement. Together they cruise the neighborhood at night, light up, and vanish into secret hideouts, chasing the electric freedom of Cumbia 420. The repeated line “nunca creíste que yo me iba a rescatar” shows the surprise that love—or at least a wild fling—can spring from the rough corners of the barrio.

Despite the flirty apologies and hints of danger (a mix of weed, late-night drives, and the ever-present “metal”), the song’s heart is simple: two people escaping their problems for a few stolen hours of fun. She wants to feel valued; he wants to prove he can be her rescue, even if it is only until sunrise when her phone starts buzzing with her boyfriend’s calls. Packed with Puerto Rican and Argentine slang, the track blends reggaetón swagger with cumbia rhythms, turning a secret rendezvous into an anthem of rebellious passion.

Pa' La Discoteca (To The Disco)
¿Cómo estás?
Te hicieron daño, ahora estás revelada
No eras así, se ve que andas despechada
Ponete linda que te voy a sacar
How are you?
They hurt you, now you're revealed
You weren't like that, it seems that you are upset
Be pretty, I'm going to take you out

The whole song is one invitation, aimed at someone who has just been let down. It opens with a diagnosis rather than a chat-up line: "Te hicieron daño, ahora estás revelada" (They hurt you, now you've turned rebellious) and "No eras así, se ve que andas despechada" (You didn't used to be like this, you're clearly heartbroken). His answer is a night out rather than sympathy — "Ponete linda que te voy a sacar" (Get dressed up, I'm taking you out). The chorus makes the argument explicit: "Lo que yo voy a enseñarte / no se aprende en una biblioteca" (What I'm going to teach you, you don't learn in a library), and "aquí todo el mundo peca" (here everybody sins) is offered as reassurance — nobody in the room is in a position to judge her.

Halfway through, the setting turns unmistakably Argentine. He orders Fernet ("Tráeme el Fernet"), he is at the boliche rather than a club, and "los guacho' y las guacha'" is the local way of naming the guys and girls he is out with. The boast "El único país que tiene a Dios en el cielo y en la tierra" (The only country with God in heaven and on earth) is a football joke, the god on earth being Maradona. Even the flirting is regional: "¿qué me hiciste?, ¿Un gualicho?" (what did you do to me? Put a spell on me?) uses a Rioplatense word for a love charm. The last few lines are just producer tags — Migrantes, Nio, DeMasters — the crew signing the record.
