“Qué Raro” is J Balvin’s playful yet sharp eye-roll at a former crush who ignored him back when he was just another guy catching buses and dreaming big. Now he cruises in Ferraris, racks up Billboard hits, and dresses “más caro,” and suddenly Cupid is working overtime on her. Balvin and fellow Colombian singer Feid trade verses that jump between nostalgia and disbelief, pointing out how quickly feelings can appear once fame and fortune arrive.
Behind the catchy reggaetón beat, the song is a reminder to keep your circle real. It celebrates hard-earned success while warning listeners not to be fooled by people who only show love when the spotlight turns on. If someone could not see your worth before the Grammys and designer suits, their “I love you” now might be—well—pretty “raro.”
