“Cuando Perriabas” – literally “When You Used to Perrear (twerk/grind)” – is Bad Bunny’s cheeky invitation to rewind time and relive those sweaty, carefree dance-floor nights. Over a booming reggaetón beat he teases a woman who now plays it cool, reminding her of the days she dropped it low at backyard marquesina parties while he DJ’d from the corner. From name-dropping Coachella and Singapore to sneaking weed and condoms in her purse, the lyrics mix luxury fantasy with raw barrio nostalgia, painting a picture of wild nights that could start in Puerto Rico and end among the stars.
Beyond the playful swagger, the song is a celebration of female autonomy and the roots of perreo culture. The woman is “la dura del perreo” – a legend who never lets anyone play her for a fool. Bad Bunny champions her freedom to dance, flirt, and own her sexuality without judgment. By urging her to “métele como lo hacías antes” (hit it like you used to), he turns the track into both a throwback anthem and a reminder that the spirit of early reggaetón lives on whenever you let loose and move to the beat.
