“Ahora” is J. Balvin’s playful reminder that the best time to fall head-first into passion is right now. Over a smooth reggae-reggaetón groove, the Colombian superstar tries to convince his love interest to stay a little longer. He praises her confidence, vows to become her biggest fan, and suggests that any past tension can be settled with a truce sealed by dancing and late-night chemistry. The clock is ticking, so why wait?
Balvin’s lyrics mix flirtation with urgency: he does not want tomorrow’s doubts or distractions to steal tonight’s magic. Every line circles back to seizing the moment—lingering glances, a couple of drinks, and the irresistible pull of mutual desire. “Ahora” is essentially a musical wink that says, Let’s stop talking and start living before the chance slips away.
