I went to Europe and I wanted to stay
But I woke up bipolar
Wanting that heat
The land that taught me to walk
That tiny star
But that doesn't stop shining
Who's gonna get me out of here?
Hey, motherf*cker, I'm not planning to negotiate
The capital of perreo, that's already official
And even if I'm masked up
Tonight we go out to hang, I'm gonna go off
Who's gonna get me out of here?
Hey, motherf*cker, I'm not planning to negotiate
The capital of perreo, that's already official
And even if I'm masked up
Tonight we go out to hang, I'm gonna go off
Today I pull out the Mercedes if Loíza gets lit
From Fifty Eight to the casino, from the casino to the truck
Blunt lit, a long spin and she won't let go of her cup
She told me she was undefeated and with me she went on coke
She shows up and they say, 'Wow, what's this?'
Direct message and I hit her direct, direct
To make her scream in a couple dialects
She gets horny if I play 'Efecto'
You and I through Ocean Park
Your friend can join us
Or she can watch us
C'mon, turn devilish
And misbehave, misbehave
You and I through Ocean Park
Your friend can join us
Or she can watch us
C'mon, turn devilish
And misbehave, misbehave
She went out with her crew, she's in command
The one everybody's watching
A few are queuing, but she's ignoring
That ass has them spending
She goes wild on Thursdays
Little beach and cocktails
She rolls up and lights it
The rest depends
I started getting closer and she stuck to me on her own
I didn't line up, I cut in and broke the line
What she inherited she showed me
Back there Picasso designed it for her
It was shallow, she didn't notice and ran aground
I started getting closer and she stuck to me on her own
I didn't line up, I cut in and broke the line
What she inherited she showed me
Back there Picasso designed it for her
It was shallow, she didn't notice and ran aground
(I was getting closer
I broke the line
I didn't line up, I cut in
I didn't line up, I cut in
What, what she inherited
I broke the line)

SONG MEANING

After a quick taste of Europe, Mora snaps awake feeling bipolar: half of him wants to stay abroad, but the other half is craving the calentón—that steamy mix of tropical weather, reggaetón beats, and rebel spirit found only in Puerto Rico. He proudly crowns the island the capital del perreo, reminds us it is a "little star that never stops shining," and makes it clear that no one will drag him away from home again.

Once night drops, the track rockets into a neon-lit crawl through San Juan: revving a Mercedes down Loíza Street, bouncing from Club Fifty Eight to the casino, sparking a blunt by Ocean Park, and flirting with a fearless woman who leads her own crew. The lyrics overflow with playful slang, sensual confidence, and nonstop motion, turning the song into both a homecoming anthem and a permission slip to break the rules. "CALENTÓN" ultimately celebrates rooting yourself where the music is hottest, letting desire guide the night, and surrendering to the irresistible heat of Puerto Rican nightlife.
