Chavalas is a colloquial term for 'girls' or 'young women', often used in a casual or informal context. While 'chica' is more common, 'chavala' adds a specific regional flavor, particularly from Spain, making it stand out.
In the song, Peso Pluma uses it to refer to the young women who are only interested in him for superficial reasons, singing, "Porque las chavalas nomĂĄs pa' coger me ven" (Because the girls only see me for hooking up). This usage highlights a certain attitude and social dynamic, making the word more engaging than a simple 'chicas'.
Peso Pluma and Tito Double P turn the volume up on youthful bravado in 20s, a corridoâtrap anthem that feels like a late-night cruise through neon-lit streets. The lyrics fire off snapshots of a young hustlerâs life: low-riding trucks scraping the pavement, luxury Cadillacs, wads of cash scattered on the floor, visits to MedellĂn for its electric party scene, and an endless carousel of admirers. Weed, âpericoâ (cocaine), and pulsating beats keep the night in overdrive while the artists boast about smelling good, arriving fast, and always having the next thrill on speed-dial.
Beneath the swagger, though, thereâs a flicker of restlessness. The narrator jokes about quitting the bandit life and admits he still misses a loverâs kiss, yet he shrugs it off because âall of them lie.â 20s celebrates the high-octane rush of being young, rich, and reckless, but it also hints at the emptiness that can lurk behind nonstop excess. The result is a song that feels both like a victory lap and a warning: enjoy the ride while it lasts, because the twenties fly by in a blur.
