Intro

Now you want to come back

For what reason, tell me why

Now I don't pay attention to you

For a long time I put an end to it

Chorus 1

What do you intend by calling me at this hour?

That attitude I already know

You know very well how to seduce me

But this time it's already too late

Verse 1

This isn't the right time to call

Unless you want to suck it

That you want to light up, that you want to burn

Speaking frankly, I don't really like you

Because of you, I took pills and went overflow Lamar

Lamar Odom is a famous former basketball player who was married to Khloé Kardashian. He had an overdosing incident, which Bad Bunny refers to

But you're not a Kardashian

I don't mess with you, because if not, the retro ones get me soaked

From Snapchat I deleted you, from Facebook I deleted you

From Instagram I deleted you, from my life I deleted you

And now you want to come back

Nah, what you want is to f*ck

But it won't be possible

You're going to see me with someone else and you're going to regret

And now you want to come back

Nah, what you want is to f*ck

But it won't be possible

You're going to see me with someone else and you're going to regret

Chorus 2

What do you intend by calling me at this hour?

That attitude I already know

You know very well how to seduce me

But this time it's already too late

Verse 2

You try to do everything so that I come back

Things are not the same, why insist?

Avoid the annoyances and don't waste your time

You don't find anything with me

You live secretly checking the photos

Investigating my profile

Don't deny it, I know you well

Everything that you did with me

You want to repeat it

You're looking for more

And I don't care about that

Everything that you did with me

You want to repeat it

You're looking for more

And I don't care about that

Chorus 3

What do you intend by calling me at this hour?

That attitude I already know

You know very well how to seduce me

But this time it's already too late

Chorus 4

What do you intend by calling me at this hour?

That attitude I already know

You know very well how to seduce me

But this time it's already too late

SONG MEANING

"Qué Pretendes" is a spicy late-night phone call turned lesson in self-respect. Over a hypnotic reggaetón beat, Colombian superstar J Balvin teams up with Puerto Rico’s Bad Bunny to tell an ex exactly what time it is: too late. The track is a playful but decisive clapback to someone who tries to slide back in after being deleted from every social network. Balvin and Bunny expose the ex’s tricks – seductive calls, nostalgia, promises of wild nights – then slam the door with catchy one-liners that drip with swagger and humor.

Behind the club-ready rhythm lies a message any learner can relate to: guard your peace, know your worth, and never let old flames burn you twice. While the chorus repeats the question “¿Qué pretendes tú llamándome a esta hora?”, the answer becomes crystal clear – the caller only wants mischief, and the singers have already moved on. It is a modern break-up anthem packed with social media references, street slang, and bold confidence that turns heartbreak into a dance-floor celebration.
