Trepado means 'climbed' or 'perched'. It's a vivid and active verb that suggests being high up and perhaps a bit precariously positioned, but with confidence.
In the song, Bad Bunny uses it to describe his elevated status, saying he's "trepado en la Estatua de la Libertad" (perched on the Statue of Liberty). This imagery powerfully conveys his feeling of being at the very top, making it a memorable and engaging word.
Estamos Arriba is a high-energy victory lap where Bad Bunny and Myke Towers celebrate making it to the top and staying there. The phrase literally means “We’re up”, and every verse drips with confidence: designer clothes swapped like everyday sneakers, yachts on standby, and a price tag for collaborations that keeps climbing. Behind the flexing lives a clear message — success attracts envy, but the duo brush off the haters just as easily as they switch Balenciagas for Adidas.
More than a brag track, the song is a motivational anthem. It reminds listeners that hard work, self-belief, and loyal support (like the prayerful mom Bad Bunny mentions) can lift you above doubt and criticism. In the end, raised hands and raised glasses become symbols of triumph, inviting everyone who’s ever been underestimated to join the celebration: mano arriba, because once you’re “arriba,” no negativity can knock you down.
