Anestesiada means “numb” or “under anesthesia,” and Prince Royce uses that idea to describe a mysterious woman whose heart has been frozen by past pain. In this lively bachata, the singer admits she only calls when she feels like it, enjoys a night of pleasure, and then pushes him away again. She refuses to believe in love because love once hurt her, so she keeps her feelings “asleep.” Royce knows all this, yet he can’t resist the bittersweet thrill of her kisses—poisonous and delicious at the same time.
The song balances desire and danger. The narrator feels lucky just to touch her skin, even though her body feels like a prison and her affection is a “sweet sentence.” He begs for a taste of her “anesthesia” so he too can stop feeling. Through punchy guitar lines and playful shout-outs, Prince Royce turns emotional numbness into an addictive dance track, reminding us that people sometimes protect themselves from heartbreak by switching off their hearts, while others willingly dive into the fire just for one more electrifying moment.
