Review

This is the story of a breakup. A lady hurt the artist and now he's singing about it. He talks about infidelity among other things.

It makes me want to dance. The genre is named Bachata, a caribbean type of music, but this artist weaves the genre in a modern manner.

It does not include any explicits. It is a fun song, ironically. The genre is very sentimental, and it makes you want to dance to your miseries.

The Youtube video is about the artist performing and changing outfits. The outfits are quite excentric. There's also a car in the video and the artist starts listening to a CD in one take.
