Si Te Preguntan... Lyrics in English by Prince Royce, Nicky Jam, Jay Wheeler
The word eriza comes from the verb erizar, meaning 'to make stand on end'. It's famously used in the phrase "erizar la piel", which literally means 'to make the skin bristle'—the Spanish way of saying you're getting goosebumps.
In this bachata, Prince Royce sings "soy el único, que a ti te eriza la piel" (I'm the only one who gives you goosebumps). He uses this evocative phrase to remind his ex of their intense physical and emotional connection, a feeling no one else can replicate.
Ever had a breakup where you just hope your ex doesn't trash your reputation? That's exactly what this song is about. Prince Royce, Nicky Jam, and Jay Wheeler team up to plead with a former lover. Their main request is simple: "Si te preguntan qué pasó entre nos / Que eso se quede entre nosotros dos" (If they ask you what happened between us / Let that stay between the two of us). They know they messed up, but they don't want to be painted as the villain in the story.
They even give her a script to follow if she absolutely has to talk. They suggest she say, "Diles que no fui el mejor / Pero no me hagas ver como un perdedor" (Tell them I wasn't the best / But don't make me look like a loser). The song is a mix of ego, regret, and a little bit of hope. He reminds her of the good times, like the warm nights in New York, and even tries to reframe the bad times, claiming he made her cry tears of happiness. It's a classic post-breakup negotiation, trying to control the narrative while also leaving the door open just a crack, in case she starts to miss him.
