As the genre gained momentum, “Diles” stood out as a defining track, influencing a wave of subsequent hits and solidifying the reputations of its creators as key figures in Latin urban music.
The Birth of a Movement
“Diles” emerged at a time when Latin trap was still in its infancy. While reggaeton had dominated the Latin music scene for over a decade, the introduction of trap elements into the genre brought a new level of intensity and authenticity. “Diles” exemplified this shift, with its dark, atmospheric production and lyrics that delved into themes of love, desire, and street life.
Bad Bunny, who was relatively unknown at the time, delivered a standout performance on “Diles,” showcasing his deep, gravelly voice and distinctive flow. His verse, filled with confident and provocative lines, set the tone for what would become a signature style—unfiltered, emotional, and relatable. The song served as a launchpad for Bad Bunny, propelling him into the spotlight and paving the way for his rapid ascent to superstardom.
The collaboration between these five artists was a masterstroke, combining their unique talents and personalities to create a track that resonated with a broad audience. Ozuna, known for his melodic voice and romantic style, balanced the song’s rough edges with a smooth, catchy chorus. Farruko, Arcángel, and Ñengo Flow, each veterans of the reggaeton and urban music scenes, brought their own flavors to the mix, blending street credibility with lyrical prowess.

The production of “Diles” is a masterclass in trap beats, with its slow tempo, heavy bass, and eerie synths creating a hauntingly atmospheric backdrop.

Farru
Dile que soy el baby
Tu novio viste de Old Navy
Yo sí tengo flow, él no tiene flow
Yo a ti te martillo y te doy dembow
Por la noche cuando él se va
Tú me llamas con la necesidad
Porque te gusta cómo te doy
Tranquila ma, que por ahí voy ya
Uh-uh-uh
Quiero hacerte cositas que nunca te han hecho
Esta noche conmigo tú tocas el techo (uh-uh-uh)
Cuando te pelean y estás en despecho
Me llamas y yo adentro te la echo
Dime si tu quieres
Que yo te ubique en mi cama
Deja el drama
Ven y mama
Voy a darte duro hasta por la mañana
Y que comience la acción
Dame tu ubicación
Ey, tú sabes que yo le llego y cuando llego
Este bicho causa emoción
Le bajo el pozo como Poseidón
Y le abro las piernas en el balcón
Pa’ hablarte claro, ma, tú le metes cabrón
Me gusta como con la boca me pone’ el condón
Y te queda mejor, mamá
Cuando no me pones na’

Avanza y corre

Por mi cuello
Se ilumina el camino cuando estrello
Tu cuerpo junto al mío
Haciendo detener el tiempo
Este es el mejor momento
Pose’ abajo, arriba
Pose’ en cuatro, encima o de la’o
Caliente caliente
Dime que tú sientes si te doy de frente
Se siente apreta’o
Tu culo pégalo cerca
Pa’ retumbarte completa
Baja y sube en cámara lenta, mai (Bad Bunny)
Vamo’ hacerlo adentro del carro y pichea el hotel
Que tengo ganas, bebé, y no hay tiempo para perder
Cristales tintia’os, nadie nos va a ver
Estamo’ bellaco y queremo’ meter
Tú y yo solitos, dale apaga el cel
Que te vo’ a hacer lo que no te hace él
Y woh, ja
Los cristales del carro se empañan
Tu carita de ángel me engaña
Yo soy sano pero tú me dañas
Y woh (woh)
Prende un cripi y se puso lucía
Me dio un blowjob mientras conducía
Se trepó y me seducía
Y dile’
Que yo me sé tu pose favorita
Que te hablo malo y que eso te excita
Que te hago todo lo que necesitas
Pa’ hacerte venir (Farru)
Y diles
Que yo me sé tu’ pose’ favoritas
Que te hablo malo y que eso te excita
Que te hago todo lo que necesita’
Pa’ hacerte venir
