CONTENTS SUMMARY
Rakata
Salte
Si no estás bailando con ella
Si no estás perreando con ella
Si no estás bailando con ella
Bounce
If you're not dancing with her
If you're not grinding with her
If you're not dancing with her

Get ready for a classic reggaeton party track! "Rakata" is all about the energy of the dance floor, and it's not subtle about it. Wisin & Yandel are focused on one woman who is the best dancer in the club. They tell everyone else to move, saying "Salte / Si no estás bailando con ella" (Get out / If you're not dancing with her). The whole point is to dance with her and do the "Rakata, rakata", a sound that mimics the beat and the intense, close dancing of perreo.

The lyrics are super direct and confident. Wisin & Yandel describe the woman in detail, noting she has "veinte enemiga' / Dos amigas" (twenty enemies / two friends) and even a "Tatuaje en la vejiga" (tattoo on her bladder). They spend the rest of the song describing a very physical and intense dance, with lines like "Le gusta que Wisin la jale por el pelo" (She likes it when Wisin pulls her by the hair). It's a song full of bragging and pure club energy, designed to make you move.

Tabla (Board)

Dile a ella, Yandel, dile
Trépate encima

Tell her, Yandel, tell her
Climb on top

Wisin & Yandel open "Tabla" with two drops — the label, then the producer — before Wisin turns to his partner and hands him the mic: "Dile a ella, Yandel, dile" (Tell her, Yandel, tell her). What follows is one instruction repeated until it becomes part of the beat: "Trépate encima" (Climb on top), "Dale duro ma', dale duro, ma'" (Hit it hard, girl, hit it hard). The song has no story and no build. It is a command and its echo, stacked four times over a dembow bed that never lets up, and the arrangement returns to that same block three separate times.

The boasting is saved for the verses. "Estoy guillao' porque estoy probao'" (I'm cocky because I've proven myself) is the entire argument; everything else is scenery — a 4x4 pulling up outside, a girl introduced by name ("¿Cuál es su nombre? Tomasa"), two coffees, a terrace, and "To' los días hace dieta por la grasa" (Every day she's on a diet over the fat). Then the hook comes back: "Esa gata pide tabla" (That girl is asking for tabla). The title is the joke the whole chorus is built to land — tabla is literally a plank or a board, and here it is standing in for something else entirely, which is why the word is sung eight times a round and never once explained.

El Telefono (The Telephone)
Hace mucho tiempo que te quiero ver
Busco la manera de tu cuerpo tener
Ni tu padre, ni tu madre te quieren conmigo
Pues hagamos el amor por el teléfono
It's been a long time that I want to see you
I look for the way to have your body
Neither your dad nor your mom want you with me
So let's make love over the phone

Ever liked someone whose parents did not approve? That's the story at the heart of this classic reggaeton track. Wisin & Yandel lay out the problem right away: "Ni tu padre, ni tu madre te quieren conmigo" (Neither your father nor your mother want you with me). Their solution is simple and a little scandalous for its time: "Pues hagamos el amor por el teléfono" (So let's make love over the phone). The song is a direct and passionate plea for a secret connection, promising to be available whenever she feels lonely and needs to call.

The lyrics are full of bold and flirtatious lines, with the singers describing exactly what they'd like to do if they could be together in person, from pinning her to the wall to completely devouring her. Halfway through, Hector "El Father" jumps in with a verse that's pure confidence. He taunts a rival for the girl's affection, calling him a "peñisco, medio jalisco" (a pinch, half-baked) while comparing himself to a giant. It's a song about forbidden desire, secret phone calls, and the competitive bragging that made early reggaeton so much fun.

Ahora Es (Now's The Time)
Anoche, anoche soñé contigo
Soñaba que te besaba
Y que te acorralaba
Anoche, anoche soñé contigo
Last night, last night I dreamed about you
I dreamed that I kissed you
And that I cornered you
Last night, last night I dreamed about you

This song is a classic reggaeton party starter! The whole idea kicks off with a dream. Wisin & Yandel sing, "Anoche, anoche soñé contigo / Soñaba que te besaba / Y que te acorralaba" (Last night, last night I dreamed of you / I dreamed that I was kissing you / And that I was cornering you). They're not just thinking about someone, they're having intense, physical dreams about them.

But they don't stay in the dream world. The song quickly shifts from the fantasy of "anoche" (last night) to the reality of "ahora" (now). The command is simple: "Y ahora dale, sin miedo / Hasta que se rompa el suelo" (And now go for it, without fear / Until the floor breaks). It's a call to action, telling the person from the dream to dance with total abandon right now. The verses are full of confident, playful lines about how amazing this woman is, comparing her kiss to getting shot in the chest and calling her his irreplaceable "recluta" (recruit). It's all about turning a powerful fantasy into a real-life dance floor connection.

Lloro Por Ti [Remix] (I Cry For You [Remix])
Lloro por ti
Desde aquel momento
Quisiera detener el tiempo
La peor decision de mi vida fue decirte adiós
I cry for you
Since that moment
I wish I could stop time
The worst decision of my life was saying goodbye to you

“Lloro Por Ti [Remix]” brings together Puerto Rico’s powerhouse duo Wisin & Yandel with the smooth vocals of Enrique Iglesias to paint a vivid picture of heartbreak. The narrator is trapped in regret after making “the worst decision” of his life: saying goodbye to the person he loves. He relives memories of kisses, the taste of shared cigarettes, and the feel of her skin, only to discover that she has moved on while he remains stuck in a room that now feels painfully empty. The catchy reggaetón beat contrasts with the raw emotion of the lyrics, creating a bittersweet dance track about longing, insomnia, and the helpless tears that come when love slips through your fingers.

At its core, the song is a plea for reconciliation. Every “Lloro por ti” (I cry for you) is both confession and hope: a confession that life has shattered into “a thousand pieces,” and a hope that the relationship still has “algún remedio” (some remedy). Listeners are invited to feel the tug-of-war between pride and vulnerability, rebellion and surrender, as the singer begs his partner to end the distance. The result is an anthem for anyone who has ever stayed up all night replaying mistakes, certain that the only cure is one more chance at love.

Me Estas Tentando (You're Tempting Me)
Hace rato que tu mirada me anda diciendo que
Te encantaría pasar una noche llena de
Ella sabe
Es el capitán W
Your gaze has been telling me for a while that
You'd love to spend a night full of
She knows
It's Captain W

Get ready for a classic reggaeton party track! "Me Estás Tentando" is all about the intense energy and attraction on a packed dance floor. Wisin & Yandel set the scene immediately with the chorus: "Me estás tentando / Hace rato que te ando velando" (You are tempting me / I've been watching you for a while). It's a story of mutual seduction, where the tension builds as two people dance closer and closer together.

The lyrics are full of confident, over-the-top boasts. Yandel calls himself "el tiburón a comerse la sirena" (the shark who has come to eat the mermaid) and a "tíguere de bengala" (Bengal tiger). He's not shy! He tells the woman he's watching to "deja a tu novio jugando Atari" (leave your boyfriend playing Atari), which is a pretty funny way to call someone boring. The song is pure, high-energy flirtation, describing the feeling of dancing so close that it's "violento / Cuando te pegas a mi cuerpo lento" (violent / When you press your body slowly against mine).

Besos Moja2 (Wet Kisses)
Shorty, ¿cómo te va?
Hace tiempo que no sé nada de ti
En realidad, aún no he podido olvidarme de ti
Admite que yo soy la única
Shorty, how you doing?
It's been a while since I heard from you
Honestly, I still haven't managed to get you off my mind
Admit I'm the only one

“Besos Moja2” is a steamy reunion fantasy where Puerto Rican icons Wisin & Yandel team up with the ever-magnetic ROSALÍA to relive a night they simply cannot shake off. With pulsing reggaetón beats and ROSALÍA’s playful motomami flair, the song paints two ex-lovers who text each other out of the blue, each admitting that those besos mojados (wet kisses) still burn on their lips. They recall secret rendezvous in Vegas, Miami hotel rooms, and moonlit bedrooms, insisting that no “basic” partner will ever match the sparks they create together.

Beneath the flirtation lies a tug-of-war between nostalgia and raw desire. Wisin & Yandel boast about unforgettable escapades, while ROSALÍA flips the script, reminding them she holds the “key and the code” to their chemistry. The chorus circles back to the same idea: I can’t forget your wet kisses, nor how we devoured each other. In other words, the song is a love letter to irresistible passion, where every beat encourages the listener to remember their own forbidden nights—and maybe send that risky late-night text.

Gracias A Ti (Thanks To You)
Hemos pasado juntos momentos hermosos de nuestras vidas
Gracias por estar aquí
Tú eres especial, yo solo quiero que, escuches esta canción
Sentí frío y tú me abrigaste
We've spent beautiful moments of our lives together
Thanks for being here
You're special, I just want you to listen to this song
I felt cold and you covered me

“Gracias A Ti” is Wisin & Yandel’s heartfelt thank-you note to the person who turned their world around. Over a smooth reggaetón beat, the Puerto Rican duo swaps their usual swagger for honest gratitude, celebrating a partner who “covered me when I was cold” and “lifted me when I fell.” Every verse underlines how her strength, patience, and everyday kindness gave the singer a brand-new sense of direction. In simple words, the chorus sums it up: “Thanks to you, today I am happy.”

Listen closely and you will hear a story of transformation. The once “wild” narrator now wants to be better because love has calmed his storms. From ironing his shirt for church to soothing him when he loses control, his “princess” is both muse and anchor. The song reminds us that real love is more than romance—it is about support, respect, and growing together. If you have ever felt rescued by someone’s unwavering care, this track will speak straight to your heart.

Besos Mojados (Wet Kisses)
La revolución!
¡W, Ya-Yandel!
Luny Tunes
Hey shorty
The revolution!
W, Ya-Yandel!
Luny Tunes
Hey shorty

Besos Mojados is a steamy reggaeton confession in which Wisin & Yandel relive an unforgettable night of passion. The singers reach out to a former lover, admitting they still taste those “wet kisses” and feel the heat of bodies pressed together while the moon quietly watched. Every line drips with nostalgia, craving and playful bravado as they beg for another round of that intoxicating chemistry.

Beyond the flirtatious word-play and club-ready beat, the song highlights two themes: the power of memory and the irresistible pull of desire. No matter how much time passes, those electrifying moments linger like a sweet addiction, making it impossible to move on. With catchy hooks and vivid imagery, Besos Mojados turns a simple late-night call into a cinematic soundtrack of longing, reminding listeners that some kisses leave a mark you can never wash away.

Gracias A Ti [Remix] (Thanks To You [Remix])
WY Records
Eres mi sol de cada día
Eres una mujer ejemplar
Verdaderamente eres una luchadora
WY Records
You are my sun every day
You are an exemplary woman
Truly you are a fighter

“Gracias A Ti [Remix]” is reggaeton with a grateful heart. Wisin & Yandel join forces with Enrique Iglesias to turn a pulsing beat into a love letter for the woman who changed their lives. The lyrics paint her as sunshine on cold days, a nurse for every fall, and the compass that gives direction. Everyday acts such as ironing a shirt or smiling at church become heroic symbols of loyalty, courage, and quiet strength. Over catchy hooks and slick rap verses, the trio celebrates how her determination lifts them up, making them better men who finally know what it means to live rather than just exist.

More than a club banger, the song is a public thank-you note that invites listeners to value the people who back them unconditionally. It reminds us that love is found in both grand passion and small gestures - and that saying “thanks to you” can turn gratitude into pure happiness.

Torre De Babel (Tower of Babel)
Somos fichas de ajedrez en un juego de poder
Es necesario aprender a vivir en armonía
Porque mientras unos mueren de hambre
Otros derrochan dinero y tiempo en cosas sin sentido, eso es claro
We are chess pieces in a power game
It is necessary to learn to live in harmony
Because while some die of hunger
Others waste money and time on meaningless things, that's clear

Torre De Babel takes the biblical story of the Tower of Babel — a world so divided it can no longer understand itself — and points it at today. Wisin & Yandel, joined by David Bisbal, sing about a society split between excess and hunger, where indifference has replaced conscience and the ground can give way at any moment.

The chorus warns to look closely: everything is upside down, and there might not be a second chance to see the world made right again. It is less a party anthem than a wake-up call, urging the listener to abuse the moment (make the most of what time is left), choose faith over despair, and resist becoming just another indifferent face in the crowd.

By the end, the song turns hopeful: defend your values, do good, and do not let your feelings die — a reminder that the ruins of Babel do not have to be the ending.

Follow The Leader

Bori, bori, bori!

“Follow The Leader” is a worldwide party passport. Wisin & Yandel team up with Jennifer Lopez to turn the dance floor into a playground where language barriers melt and rhythm rules. The lyrics invite everyone to shake off pressure, feel the beat in their bodies, and literally follow the leaders as they shout commands like go, viva, and siente el ritmo (feel the rhythm). From flashing designer style to playful flirtation, the song celebrates self-confidence, bold moves, and instant connection through music.

At its heart, the track is about freedom and unity. Whether you are in Puerto Rico, Los Angeles, or anywhere in between, you belong to the night and to the music. By surrendering to the moment and moving together, the crowd becomes one unstoppable force of energy and joy. So raise your hands, lose control, and let this explosive reggaetón-pop anthem lead you into an unforgettable, sweat-soaked celebration of life.
