The reggaeton genre thrives on energetic rhythms, catchy hooks, and collaborations between the biggest names in Latin music. The song “Caramelo Remix”, featuring Ozuna, Karol G, and Myke Towers, perfectly encapsulates these elements. Released in September 2020, the remix builds on the success of the original version of “Caramelo” by Ozuna, which was already a summer hit in 2020. The remix not only added new flavors to the track but also elevated its status, thanks to the vocal talents of Karol G and Myke Towers, creating a fan-favorite collaboration that highlights the power of unity in reggaeton.
The Original “Caramelo” and Its Success
Before diving into the remix, it’s important to understand the context of the original “Caramelo,” which was released in June 2020 as part of Ozuna’s album. The song is a sugary sweet reggaeton anthem, and its title, “Caramelo,” translates to “candy” or “caramel,” which metaphorically represents the sweet and addictive nature of a romantic relationship. Ozuna’s smooth, melodic voice, combined with the upbeat reggaeton rhythm, created an infectious track that dominated charts across Latin America and beyond.
The original song was already a hit, amassing millions of streams and views on platforms like YouTube and Spotify. Its catchy chorus and infectious rhythm made it a favorite at parties, clubs, and playlists worldwide. The music video for the original version featured vibrant, colorful visuals that added to the sweet, summery feel of the song, showing Ozuna in candy-coated fantasy scenes.
Enter Karol G and Myke Towers
The decision to create a remix featuring two of reggaeton’s hottest stars—Karol G and Myke Towers—was a strategic move that boosted the song’s appeal even further. Both artists were at the height of their careers, with Karol G’s “Tusa” featuring Nicki Minaj and Myke Towers’ string of hit singles solidifying them as key figures in the reggaeton world.
Karol G, known for her powerful voice and empowering lyrics, brought a fresh dynamic to the song. Her verses in “Caramelo Remix” added a feminine perspective to the otherwise male-dominated genre, balancing out the track with her signature charm. Karol G’s smooth delivery of her lines and flirtatious energy gave the remix an extra layer of sensuality and emotion, making the remix a hit with fans of all genders.
Myke Towers, on the other hand, brought his unmistakable flow and swagger to the remix. Known for his versatility, Towers’ performance added a more urban, gritty vibe to the song. His verse stood out as one of the highlights of the remix, complementing Ozuna’s melodic style and Karol G’s sweetness. His ability to switch from melodic to rapid-fire delivery ensured that the remix appealed to a wide audience, ranging from traditional reggaeton lovers to fans of more urban and trap-influenced sounds.
A Perfect Fusion of Talent
The collaboration between these three artists worked seamlessly. Each brought their own distinct style to the track, but the final product was cohesive and polished. The remix retained the core elements that made the original “Caramelo” a hit, such as the catchy chorus and upbeat rhythm, while adding new layers of complexity with fresh verses and harmonies. Ozuna’s voice remained central to the track, maintaining his signature melodic reggaeton sound, but Karol G and Myke Towers’ contributions elevated the song to a new level.
The remix also benefited from strong production, with the beat remaining infectious and danceable. The tropical reggaeton beat with soft electronic touches made the song feel like the perfect anthem for summer or any celebration. The use of catchy, repetitive melodies made it an easy song to sing along to, which helped its widespread popularity.

Uoh-oh
Baby, baby
Ozuna
This is the remix
Aunque no pueda, tengo la curiosidad (curiosidad)
Aunque no pretendo quedarme, me da un poco de ansiedad
Y es que en la vida todo se puede, esté bien o esté mal
Pero podré vivir con la culpa de que al menos una vez más (baby)
Te volví a probar
Tu boca no pierde el sabor a caramelo
Nos dejamos llevar
Tú eres mi bandolera y yo soy tu bandolero
Te volví a probar
Tu boca no pierde el sabor a caramelo
Nos dejamos llevar
Yo soy tu bandolera, tú eres mi bandolero
(Karol G)
Todas estas mujeres a ti te quieren robar
No es tratar, es ganar
Se ofrecen, pero no saben meneártelo
Papi, tú lo prendes, yo voy a enrolártelo
Yo te quito esas ganas, déjame comértelo
Nos encontramo’ en la disco
Nos emborrachamo’ y nos vamo’ al strip club
Nos vamo’ pa’ mi casa a las cinco y pico
Pa’ hacerlo otra vez contigo, qué rico
Mándame el location, yo le caigo (yo le caigo)
Que otras no estén inventado
Que tu dulce me estoy saboreando, eh
Yo ya sé lo que tú das, no estés fronteando
Que no es lo mismo texteando (no)
A que tú me vea’ llegando
Te volví a probar
Tu boca no pierde el sabor a caramelo
Nos dejamos llevar
Tú eres mi bandolera y yo soy tu bandolero
Te volví a probar
Tu boca no pierde el sabor a caramelo
Nos dejamos llevar
Yo soy tu bandolera, tú eres mi bandolero
Ese sabor a caramelo, lo volví a probar (volví a probar)
Mi baby, la que le gusta hacerlo en el medio del mar
Mala sin portarse mal, los panty siempre Fendi
Porque suba fotos sexy no significa que le va a ganar
Ella es así, está pa’ mí, no se quita (no se quita)
Salió de Prada en el jet pa’ Costa Rica (pa’ Costa Rica)
Un efectivo y seis amiguitas (uoh-oh)
Volviendo el negro con la parcerita
Tu boca sabe a caramelo
Si el Sol da caramelo, con ello siempre me esmero
Le gustan mañaneros, y si está lejos, la anhelo
Ella es piel canela, yo a ti te haría gemelo
Gasto lo que genero en ti, ay
Mucha maldad, pero es fina
Y eso sabe dulce como golosina
Baby, yo te juro que si fueras mi vecina
Yo pasara por tu casa siempre tocando bocina
Y me tocó perderte, estaba loco por verte
Y tuve el privilegio de poder los labios morderte
Tú eres de esos errores que uno vuelve y comete
Siempre quiero comerte yo
Te volví a probar
Tu boca no pierde el sabor a caramelo
Nos dejamos llevar
Tú eres mi bandolera y yo soy tu bandolero
Te volví a probar
Tu boca no pierde el sabor a caramelo
Nos dejamos llevar
Yo soy tu bandolera, tú eres mi bandolero
Yeh-eh
This is the remix
El negrito de ojos claros
Karol G, Myke Towers
Dímelo, Gotay (tu boca no pierde el sabor a caramelo)
Hi Music Hi Flow
Hyde, El Químico (tú eres mi bandolera, yo soy tu bandolero)
