Songfacts®:

  • Here, Peso Pluma teams up with Neton Vega to sing about enjoying life even when the world around them is more than a little menacing.
  • During the chorus, Peso Pluma strikes a more heartfelt note, confessing, "I'll die if you're not here," as he extends a soulful invitation for connection to a loved one.
  • "La Patrulla," which translates to "The Patrol," captures the song's sense of vigilance. It's a nod to the narco-life themes that Peso Pluma often explores - the constant awareness, the razor-sharp edge of alertness that comes with the territory.
  • This is Neton Vega's first collaboration with Peso Pluma, although he's no stranger to the regional Mexican scene, having previously rubbed shoulders with artists like Luis R Conriquez.
  • "La Patrulla" is on the first disc of Peso Pluma's Éxodo album, which showcases his signature corrido style. For those looking for something a bit different, the second disc offers a change of pace, featuring eight tracks where Peso Pluma experiments with his urbano side.
