Review

"Cohete" by Shakira, featuring Rauw Alejandro, is a song that explores themes of passion, desire, and escape within a romantic relationship. The lyrics depict a story of two lovers who are deeply connected and lost in their own world. They express their longing for each other and their desire to escape from the world, just like a rocket (cohete) taking off.

The song is filled with metaphors and imagery that paint a vivid picture of their relationship. For instance, the lyrics "The moon is here for us to kiss" and "The planets align every time we see each other" suggest a cosmic connection between the two. The repeated phrase "I'll make you fly like a rocket" symbolizes the intense passion and desire they have for each other.

The song's upbeat tempo and energetic rhythm might make listeners feel excited and uplifted since it portrays a situation of intense passional love between this couple. The song doesn't seem to include explicit themes and it's more of a fun song than a sad one (although some might consider it as playful in some parts).

There's no official music video for this song. There's only an official audio since the album just came out.

For discussions about the song, you can visit sites like Genius  where the song's lyrics and meanings are discussed and/or clarified.
