Verse 1

If you leave, I'm going to jump

Just trust that I go, behind you I'll stay

Get away, it's a lie, better stay, I see myself with you

Or: Behind you I will stay, stay away

It cannot be that we are only friends

Chorus 1

You're with someone who you can't love

Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him

Note how 'pensando en mí' translates directly to English as 'thinking on me'

Explain to me how you do it

Probably it will happen that that fails

Lit. Probably, it may happen that it may fail

You're with someone who you can't love

Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him

Explain to me how you do it

Probably it will happen that that fails

Dare, go, turn him into a TBT

TBT refers to the popular hashtag - Throwback Thursday

Dare, go, turn him into a TBT

Or: I dare you, go, turn it into a TBT

Verse 2

I don't want to lie to you, nor hurt you

Or: I neither want to lie to you nor hurt you

What I want is to undress you, sunrise, and not leave

All the kisses were left in TBC

TBC means 'To be continued'

Exploiting your lips in TNT

TNT means 'Til Next Time'

Crazy when I kissed you

Or: It was crazy when I kissed you

Hidden copy BCC

BCC stands for 'blind carbon copy', often used in emails

A letter in ATT

In Spanish, ATT stands for 'Atentamente', which is the Spanish word for 'Sincerely'

I want you here

And I'm not like this normally

But Cupid aimed straight at me

And I was screwed, I declare myself innocent

Chorus 2

You're with someone who you can't love

Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him

Explain to me how you do it

Probably it will happen that that fails

Lit. Probably, it may happen that it may fail

You're with someone who you can't love

Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him

Explain to me how you do it

Probably it will happen that that fails

Dare, go, turn him into a TBT

TBT refers to the popular hashtag - Throwback Thursday

Dare, go, turn him into a TBT

Or: I dare you, go, turn it into a TBT

Verse 3

Don't fall for your own lie

Because I live in your mind still

Love like ours doesn't expire

I am yours, babe, you are mine

You lie if you say that you already forgot me

You are lying if you say that you have already forgotten me

That I am only the past, you overcame me

Tell me where was left all that we lived

Why do you deceive yourself and deny what we feel?

Or: Because for years I have not denied what we feel [for each other]

If at night you call me from nothing

'De la nada' is an expression that means 'out of the blue'

You tell me that without me you can't sleep anymore

What if we return to that morning?

Why don't you leave him and come back to me?

Chorus 3

You're with someone who you can't love

Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him

Explain to me how you do it

Probably it will happen that that fails

Lit. Probably, it may happen that it may fail

Dare, go, turn him into a TBT

TBT refers to the popular hashtag - Throwback Thursday

Dare, go, turn him into a TBT

Or: I dare you, go, turn it into a TBT

SONG MEANING

TBT is a vibrant reggaeton throwback to a love that simply refuses to stay in the past. Sebastián Yatra, Rauw Alejandro, and Manuel Turizo sing from the point of view of a man who is done pretending to be “just friends.” He knows his ex is dating someone new, yet her mind keeps wandering back to him every time she kisses the other guy. With playful references to social-media acronyms (TBT, TNT, BCC, ATT), the track urges her to turn the current, unsatisfying relationship into nothing more than a nostalgic Throwback Thursday post.

The chorus becomes an irresistible invitation: “Atrévete, vete, conviértelo en un TBT” – Dare to leave him, make it a TBT. The singers blend seduction and sincerity, confessing that Cupid struck them hard and they cannot move on. They promise passion, sleepless nights, and a rekindling of the chemistry that once “exploded” like dynamite. Under the catchy beat lies a clear message: why settle for a love you can’t fully feel when the real spark is still alive elsewhere?
