Songfacts®:

  • This saucy track finds Bad Bunny singing of a hot girl with no limits. She's so elite the Puerto Rico rapper is willing to rein in his wild ways in order to be with her. The song title translates into English as "I'll Behave Myself."
  • The song is a collaboration with Chencho Corleone, formerly of the Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Plan B. Bad Bunny recorded the track with the high-pitched singer right after he attended the Met Gala in New York. "When I did that song, I didn't have anyone in mind that's not him," he told the comedian Chente Ydrach. "If it wasn't with him, I wasn't going to release the song."
  • Bad Bunny plays on the name of Chencho's reggaeton act to refer to the morning-after pill.

    (Translated into English)
    If you want, I'll make you a baby
    Or I'll bring you the Plan B
  • Subelo NEO, Lennex, MAG and Patience's production fuses old-school and modern perreo. A reggaeton genre that emerged in the late 1980s in Puerto Rico, perreo is a style of dance and party music focusing on moving the hips (similar to twerking). In 2020, Bad Bunny recorded a track, "Yo Perreo Sola," about a woman dancing the perreo alone.
