Raúl Alejandro Ocasio Ruiz, known professionally as Rauw Alejandro, is a dynamic Puerto Rican singer and songwriter born on January 10, 1993, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. With roots in a musically inclined family, his sound blends reggaeton, Latin R&B, urbano, and Latin trap, setting him apart in the Latin music scene. Rising to fame with hits like "Toda" and "Fantasías," Rauw has earned multiple awards including two Latin Grammys and Billboard Latin Music Awards.
His versatile artistry shines through albums like Afrodisíaco and Vice Versa, and he continues to innovate with his latest 2024 release, Cosa Nuestra, which features collaborations with major artists and fuses salsa, reggaeton, and more. Recognized as one of Latin music’s greatest showmen, Rauw Alejandro’s electrifying performances captivate audiences worldwide, making him a true standout in contemporary Latin music.
Puerto Rican reggaeton star Rauw Alejandro takes on a classic salsa breakup narrative in "Tú Con Él", and the story hits like a punch to the gut. The narrator finds out the hard truth: he was just a temporary rebound. He admits it bluntly with "Yo solamente fui la excusa para hacerle ver que tú podías... vivir sin su amor" ("I was only the excuse to make him see that you could... live without his love"). While she has gone back to her original partner, he is left counting the hours alone ("El tiempo corre, yo te espero pero tú con él" [Time flies, I wait for you but you are with him]).
Even with a bruised ego, he cannot bring himself to hate her. People keep telling him she looks prettier than ever ("estás linda mucho más que ayer" [you are pretty, much more than yesterday]) and that she still asks about him. He looks back at his own jealousy, asking for forgiveness ("Discúlpame aquellos celos tan intensos" [Forgive me for that intense jealousy]), before accepting that he got played in a game he did not realize he joined: "Todo fue un juego... Pero en ese juego yo me enamoré" ("Everything was a game... But in that game, I fell in love"). By the end, he calls her "mamita" (an affectionate Puerto Rican term for a woman) and swears that he has finally woken up from the illusion.
Rauw Alejandro gives us a song that feels both incredibly tender and full of passion. He starts by describing waking up next to someone he adores, seeing the morning light on their skin and feeling a sense of awe: "Qué bendición lo que estoy viendo" (What a blessing I'm seeing). He's completely overwhelmed by his feelings, telling her he can't imagine a life without her and that the thought of losing her is terrifying: "Pensar en no tenerte me asusta" (Thinking about not having you scares me).
The core of the song is about cherishing a perfect moment. The title comes from the line "Un besito en la frente / Por to' lo que se vivió" (A little kiss on the forehead / For everything we've lived). It's a sweet, grateful gesture. He knows this specific moment might not last, but he feels it's so powerful that it wasn't wasted. This leads to the beautiful declaration that their connection transcends time: "Somos eternos tú y yo" (We are eternal, you and I).
In "Déjame Entrar," Rauw Alejandro tells a pretty straightforward story about finally getting together with his long-time crush. He starts by admitting, "Desde hace tiempo yo quería hablarle / Y ahora la tengo al frente mío" (I've wanted to talk to her for a while / And now I have her in front of me). He's trying to play it cool but is clearly losing his mind with anticipation, asking her "¿Qué te detiene?" (What's stopping you?). The song is all about that moment of tension and desire when you're not sure what the other person is thinking, but their body language says it all.
Rauw gets very direct about what he wants. He observes, "No puedo descifrar lo que dice su mente / Pero su cuerpo pide algo diferente" (I can't figure out what her mind is saying / But her body is asking for something different). The song quickly moves from the dance floor to the bedroom, with blunt lines like "Ahora está en mi cama, sacó un Royal Flush" (Now she's in my bed, she pulled a Royal Flush). It's a classic reggaeton track that's all about physical connection, desire, and the excitement of a new, intense romance he hopes will last, even if just for a little while: "Yo espero que estemos juntos hasta el otro verano" (I hope we're together until next summer).
Qué Pasaría... brings together Puerto Rican stars Rauw Alejandro and Bad Bunny for a direct, late-night reggaeton track about running into an ex at the club. The title asks the ultimate question: "¿Qué pasaría si estuviéramos solos?" ("What would happen if we were alone?"). They bump into each other unexpectedly ("sin buscarnos en la disco nos vimos" / "without looking for each other, we saw each other in the club"), and all the old physical chemistry comes rushing right back. Rauw keeps it blunt: he knows she is missing something, her friend just left, and he is ready to spend the night together again.
The track is full of classic Puerto Rican club slang that makes it fun to break down. You will hear "bellaquera" (intense lust or horniness) when Bad Bunny jumps in with his verse, calling his partner "mi gata salvaje" ("my wild cat") while bragging that her folder is full of videos of them together. He delivers bold, explicit punchlines about combining their genetics ("imagínate un baby si juntamos los genes") and teases how she looks shy until the music hits ("Tan calladita la nena / Pero bellaqueando nunca frena" / "The girl is so quiet, but when it comes to getting freaky, she never stops"). It is a confident, high-energy party track focused entirely on rekindling a late-night hookup without overthinking it.
Late-night texts lead straight to chaos in "DILUVIO", where Puerto Rican hitmaker Rauw Alejandro delivers an intense, high-energy reggaeton track all about a wild 3:00 AM hookup. The story kicks off with zero hesitation: "Tres de la mañana me llama / Me dice que tiene ganas" ("Three in the morning she calls me / She tells me she wants to"), and he is already speeding down the highway on his way to her bedroom. When he gets there, things turn completely tropical. The title literally means "flood" or "deluge," which Rauw uses in the chorus ("En el cuarto cae un diluvio" / "In the room, a deluge falls") as a vivid, playful way to describe the bedroom heat making everything sweat and overflow until the sunrise.
Rauw leans heavily into sharp Puerto Rican street slang to set the scene. He sings that "Los dos bien bellacos / Calentamos más que un julio" ("Both of us super horny / We get hotter than July"), using bellaco (island slang for being intensely aroused) alongside a fun weather comparison. He even gets specific with his choreography, detailing a photo she texted him and jokingly demanding she turn around with her hands crossed like she is under arrest ("parezca un arresto"). It is direct, loud, and completely focused on physical obsession, especially when he admits her body put him under a spell ("Ese toto me hizo una hipnosis" / "That pussy hypnotized me"). From start to finish, the track runs on pure adrenaline, late-night phone calls, and unmatched summer heat.
Ever typed out an honest confession only to smash the delete button? That is where Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro starts in "Khé?" with the line "Te escribí lo que sentía y lo borré" ("I wrote what I felt and deleted it"). Joined by Romeo Santos, the track tackles the messy aftermath of pretending you do not care when you clearly do. Both singers act tough and try to play it cool ("Yo fronteando me hice el fuerte" / "Flexing, I acted strong"), but the mask quickly slips. They call other people to distract themselves, yet the ex stays stuck on loop: "pero en mi mente yo te tengo en repeat" ("but in my mind I have you on repeat").
Romeo brings in some sharp Dominican street slang to show how absurd their little mind games are. He admits he tells her "dame banda" (a slang phrase meaning "leave me alone" or "give me space"), even though he is secretly burning up inside. Then, after drinking too much alcohol ("Cuando estoy en romo, feo" / "When I'm ugly-drunk on rum"), he calls her up and just freezes into complete silence ("me quedo en mudez"). The central hook asks the ultimate question for situationships stuck in denial: "Si no somos nada, ¿entonces a qué estamos jugando?" ("If we are nothing, then what game are we playing?"). It is an honest look at pride getting completely in the way of love.
Rauw Alejandro's "Todo De Ti" is a full-on love letter to someone he's completely obsessed with. It's not about deep, complicated feelings; it's about pure, head-over-heels attraction. He's into every single detail, from her hair in the wind to her pink lipstick. He says it all in the chorus: "Y es que me gusta todo de ti" (It's that I like everything about you). He's so overwhelmed by how much he likes her that he can't even pick a favorite part: "De toda tus partes, ¿cuál decido?" (Of all your parts, which do I choose?).
This song has a perfect summer vibe, with him telling her, "Tú combinas con el mar / Ese bikini se ve fenomenal" (You go with the sea / That bikini looks phenomenal). He feels like she's all he needs and wants to spend all his time with her, from waking up in the morning to partying at night. He's totally captivated, and his heart races whenever she's around: "Aceleras to' mis latidos" (You speed up all my heartbeats).
This song is a duet about a devastating breakup, told from both sides. It's a remake of a classic 90s pop ballad by Italian singer Laura Pausini, but Puerto Rican superstar Rauw Alejandro gives it a modern reggaeton twist. The song starts with him in total despair because his partner has left. He asks, "¿Por qué de pronto ya no me quería?" (Why did she suddenly not love me anymore?). He feels like everything good is gone, from "el perfume de sus cabellos" (the perfume of her hair) to "la dulce miel que probé en sus labios" (the sweet honey I tasted on her lips). All he has left is "su veneno" (her poison) and a love that's been "cubrió de hielo" (covered in ice).
Then, Laura Pausini comes in with her side of the story, and it turns out she's just as heartbroken. She feels her world has been destroyed, saying "En mi verano ya no sale el sol" (In my summer the sun no longer rises). She's so lost without him that she feels he has become the "centro / Y fin de todo mi universo" (center / And end of my whole universe). They both feel like their lives are over without the other person, but neither seems to know why it ended. The song just repeats the phrase "Se fue y la razón no la sé" (She/He left and I don't know the reason), leaving us with the mystery of a love that was clearly intense but somehow fell apart.
Ever had a casual thing turn into... something more? That's exactly what Rauw Alejandro is singing about in "Algo Mágico". He tells the story of a relationship that started out purely physical, with "momentos eróticos" (erotic moments), but then her gaze completely hypnotized him. Now, he's in deep.
He's gone from a simple hookup to a full-blown crisis of the heart, saying "Ahora el estado de mi corazón es crítico" (Now the state of my heart is critical). He's desperate when she's not around and admits it's not just about her looks anymore: "Ya no es tan sólo su físico" (It's not just her physique anymore). He's fallen hard, feeling like they were made for each other, and he just can't find the right words to explain the magical feeling she gives him.
Rauw Alejandro is completely caught up in a relationship that feels almost unreal. He keeps asking himself what it is about this person, saying it's "Demasiado rico para ser verdad" (Too good to be true) and begging, "Baby, despiértame si esto no es realidad" (Baby, wake me up if this isn't real). The whole song is built around one simple, desperate request in the chorus: "No me sueltes" (Don't let me go).
He hints at why he's so insecure, mentioning a history of "Relaciones, traiciones, amores / Ilusiones" (Relationships, betrayals, loves / Illusions). But he quickly switches from this vulnerability to some very direct, sexual lyrics. He describes exactly what he loves about their physical connection in blunt detail, saying she's "Tan caliente que me derrite / Tan mojada que me ahogué" (So hot that she melts me / So wet that I drowned). It's a classic reggaeton mix of intense romantic feeling and even more intense physical passion.
In this remix, Puerto Rican superstar Rauw Alejandro teams up with Camilo for a smooth reggaeton track all about being completely obsessed with someone. The song is a direct and flirty declaration of desire, focusing on how amazing this person looks, especially their face and a specific tattoo. Rauw and Camilo are so taken by this person that they say, "Tú / Estás pa' comerte toda, todita" [You / You're good enough to eat, all of you]. They feel like they need nothing else in the world as long as this person is around.
The lyrics get even more intense and personal. They talk about being captivated by "Tus ojos color café" [Your coffee-colored eyes] and wanting more than just friendship. Camilo gets straight to the point, saying he wants to know about a "tatuajito secreto que no se ve" [secret little tattoo that can't be seen]. Rauw takes it a step further with a pretty bold promise: "En las costillas me tatúo tu nombre" [I'll tattoo your name on my ribs]. It's a song about that first rush of attraction when you find someone so irresistible you'd do just about anything to be with them.
This song is a super sweet and intimate look into a perfect moment. Rauw Alejandro paints a scene of his partner sleeping on him by the sea, saying, "Tú dormida encima de mí / La brisa viene del mar" (You asleep on top of me / The breeze comes from the sea). He sees her as precious, calling her his "niña de cristal" (crystal girl), and wants to freeze time because the moment is so good. He's completely devoted, promising he'd do anything for her even though he knows she's strong on her own.
The whole song feels like a love letter. He talks about how she healed him, taking away his sadness with a kiss. He works hard so he can give her everything, like a trip to Tokyo. He even gets specific about their future, saying he can't wait for his tour to be over so he can come home and make "un par de mini tú" (a couple of mini yous) with her. It's a song about a deep, mutual love where they take care of each other, and he wouldn't change a thing, even if it were a mistake.
Rauw Alejandro is having a wild night out, but something's not right. The title says it all: he's "Desenfocao'" [Unfocused]. He's partying so hard he can't feel his face, he's been up all night—"Que salió el sol, no sabía" [I didn't know the sun had come up]—and he's so out of it he calls a girl by the wrong name: "Le dije María y se llama Sofía" [I called her María and her name is Sofía]. The whole song feels like a dizzying blur of fast cars, expensive clothes, and drugs.
But this isn't just a party song. All this chaos is a distraction from a painful breakup. He admits he doesn't want to be this way, but it feels good "Porque ya no estás" [Because you're not here anymore]. He's trying to escape a memory that even the partying can't erase. It's a lonely feeling, summed up perfectly in the line "La cama llena y yo vacío, desierto" [The bed is full but I'm empty, a desert]. He's surrounded by people but feels completely lost without the one person he's trying to forget.
Rauw Alejandro's "2/Catorce" is his version of a Valentine's Day song, and it is not subtle. The title itself means February 14th, and he even says at the end, "Hoy es 2/14 y / Esta canción la hice para ti" (Today is 2/14 and / I made this song for you). But instead of a sweet ballad, this track is about pure physical chemistry. He wastes no time getting to the point, singing "No tengo que hacer mucho para calentarte" (I don't have to do much to turn you on).
This isn't just a one-time thing; they have a history, from the kitchen to a memorable first time in the pool. Despite the intense connection, their relationship is a secret one, as he says, "Pero lo de nosotros / No puede saberse" (But our thing / can't be known). It's a song that mixes raw desire with a feeling of being incredibly lucky to be with this person, asking "¿Qué hice para merecerte?" (What did I do to deserve you?).
Ever been so hurt by a past relationship that you're scared to start something new? That's exactly where Rauw Alejandro is in this song. He's met someone amazing who makes his past disappear and reminds him how easy it is to laugh, singing, "Cuando tú estás cerca de mí / Se siente bien, mi pasado no existe" (When you're close to me / It feels good, my past doesn't exist). But he's still terrified of getting hurt again and admits he has major trust issues, telling her, "Baby, no confío en esto del amor / Porque mucho antes la he pasado mal" (Baby, I don't trust this love thing / Because a long time ago I had a bad time).
He's caught between wanting to fall for this new person and the fear holding him back. He asks her to be patient and teach him how to love again: "Enséñame a amar de nuevo / Mejor que antes" (Teach me to love again / Better than before). The song even includes a whole section where he talks to his ex, explaining how much she hurt him before declaring that this new girl is an "ángel llegó a salvarme" (an angel who arrived to save me). It's a song about the slow, scary process of healing and learning to open your heart one more time.
In Besito En La Frente neemt Rauw Alejandro je mee naar een intieme ochtend na een lange nacht dansen. Terwijl de zon opkomt ("Ya está amaneciendo" - "Het wordt al ochtend"), beseft hij hoeveel hij van zijn geliefde houdt en hoe bang hij is haar kwijt te raken: "Pensar en no tenerte me asusta" ("Denken aan jou niet hebben maakt me bang"). De titel van de track slaat op het ultieme gebaar van tederheid: een simpel kusje op het voorhoofd ("Un besito en la frente") als dank voor alles wat ze samen hebben meegemaakt.
Naast deze zachte kant brengt hij ook echte Puerto Ricaanse ritmes naar voren. Hij zingt over dansen tot de voeten pijn doen ("hasta que los pies nos duelan") op het geluid van el barril, de traditionele trommel uit de Puerto Ricaanse bomba-muziek. Ook noemt hij een areíto ("Danzando en tu areíto" - "Dansend in jouw areíto"), een oud ceremonieel dansfeest van de inheemse Taíno-bevolking. Het nummer balanceert zo perfect tussen een hete reggaeton-vibe en de pure angst dat zo'n mooi moment ooit voorbijgaat.
Rauw Alejandro's "Pasaporte" is all about living in the moment because, as he says, "Yo sé que todo tiene su final" (I know everything has its end). The song suggests that since nothing lasts forever, we should just focus on the now. It's a philosophy of enjoying life without overthinking, summed up in the line "Sólo nos toca disfrutar hoy" (We just have to enjoy today).
This mindset leads to a life of constant travel and new experiences. Rauw lists all the places he's been, from seeing "Cherry blossoms en Japón" (Cherry blossoms in Japan) to drinking "Un tequila en México" (A tequila in Mexico). He paints a picture of a fast-paced, glamorous life, hanging out in Ibiza with famous DJs and feeling like his life is a movie. The core message is repeated throughout: "Vive el hoy y olvida el ayer" (Live today and forget yesterday).
Rauw Alejandro is completely captivated by someone he's just met in this song. It's that instant, overwhelming attraction where you can't look away. He says, "Wow, qué linda tú estás / Yo solo te miro a ti" (Wow, how beautiful you are / I only look at you). He's so smitten that he's already fantasizing about escaping with her to a little house on the beach and never leaving. He sees her as a source of peace, calling her "mi calma en esta tempestad" (my calm in this storm).
But this isn't just a sweet crush. He also sees a mischievous side to her, calling her face a "carita de bandida" (little bandit face) that he can't resist. He knows he's in deep, admitting that if love is a game, "Yo pierdo primero" (I lose first). The song is all about that powerful, immediate connection with someone whose face you feel you'll never be able to forget, because as he says, "Hay caritas lindas que dejan huellas / Y la tuya no se puede borrar" (There are pretty faces that leave a mark / And yours can't be erased).
This song is a total post-breakup anthem! It's all about a woman who is completely done with being sad. As Rauw says, "Se cansó de llorar" (She got tired of crying) and has sworn that "ningún pendejo la vuelve a lastimar" (no idiot will hurt her again). So what does she do? She calls her friends, gets ready for a night out, and decides she's going to let loose and have fun.
Rauw describes how she's glowing up, deleting old photos, and her DMs are blowing up. She's not looking for anything serious, just a good time. He sees her and offers to be the guy she can call for fun with no strings attached, telling her, "Entiende que yo no soy como él" (Understand that I'm not like him). It's a classic reggaeton story about moving on and feeling yourself after getting your heart broken.
Rauw Alejandro kicks off this song by repeating the main idea: "Esto es cosa nuestra, no creo que lo entiendan" [This is our thing, I don't think they'll understand it]. He's talking about a private world, a mix of personal heartbreak and maybe some street-level business that outsiders just can't grasp. The song feels split between two big emotions. On one hand, he's completely hung up on an ex. He says love is short but forgetting is long, and that "viene y va tu recuerdo" [your memory comes and goes] like the wind. He's clearly trying to move on, admitting he goes "de cama en cama buscándola y no la encuentro" [from bed to bed looking for her and I don't find her], but nothing works.
Then, the mood shifts. He's not just a heartbroken guy; he's also a boss. He talks about sticking with his "bandoleros" [outlaws/crew] and warns his rivals, "A ustedes los tengo vigilado" [I have you watched]. This is the other side of his "cosa nuestra." It's a life with problems, money, and agreements that are kept behind closed doors. The song ends with a radio DJ introducing Rauw as a newly single man, which perfectly sets up the mix of personal pain and public persona you just heard.
This song is all about a physical connection that's so intense it can't wait. Rauw Alejandro and Chencho Corleone sing about being completely overwhelmed by desire for someone. They literally have a hotel room booked, but the feeling is too strong to even make it there.
The whole story is in the chorus: "Tengo reservado el hotel / Pero con estas ganas no vamos a llegar" (I have the hotel reserved / But with this desire, we're not going to make it). So what do they do? They become "dos desesperados" (two desperate people) who have to park the car because the "asiento" (back seat) is waiting for them. The song makes it clear this isn't a one-time thing. Their lust, or "bellaquera", takes over whenever they see each other, and they admit, "donde sea nos comemos" (we get it on anywhere). There's even a hint of drama, as one line says, "me buscas aunque sabes que tengo a otra" (you look for me even though you know I have someone else).
This song is a straight-up party anthem about letting loose and getting over a breakup in the most chaotic way possible. Rauw Alejandro kicks things off by declaring he's ready to "coger una nota cabrona" (get really messed up), "explotar la cuenta" (spend all his money), and dance with someone new. The whole vibe is about forgetting an ex, who he bluntly calls a "tremenda porquería" (a piece of sh*t), and waking up "en otra cama que no sea la mía" (in a bed that's not mine).
The goal for the night is simple: "coger una loquera" (to get crazy) and "guayar por toda la disco" (grind all over the club). The lyrics describe a wild night out from both the male and female perspectives. The woman he's with has also "botó al novio" (dumped her boyfriend) and is ready to party, deciding "hoy yo no llego a casa de mi mai" (today I'm not going home to my mom's). It's all about freedom, wild fun, and moving on with no regrets.
Ever run into an ex and suddenly all the memories come flooding back? That's exactly what's happening to Rauw Alejandro in "Pensándote". He sees a former flame and admits, "Ayer te vi, te ves mejor" (Yesterday I saw you, you look better). He immediately wonders if she still thinks about him or if she got tired of waiting and found someone new. His solution is pretty direct: "Dame esta noche pa' hacerte recordar / Que ninguno te va a dar como yo" (Give me this night to make you remember / That no one will give it to you like I do). He's not asking to get back together, he's just asking for one more night.
This whole song is basically his argument for why she should say yes. He spends the entire day thinking about her, specifically remembering their intense physical connection. He recalls very specific scenes, from watching her in his bed to their trysts in motels in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico. He knows she's mad and ignoring him—"Estás molesta pichándome" (You're mad, ignoring me)—but he's still confident. He even mentions seeing her go viral on TikTok and says that even though other guys want her, he's "invicto" (undefeated). It's a bold and steamy plea to relive their past, even if just for a few hours.
