Review

The song tells the story of a man who is attracted to a woman who is a “devil” in the way she dances and behaves. He is the “bad influence” that she likes, and he is willing to spoil her with expensive gifts and romantic gestures. He claims that no one can give her what he can, and he invites her to go with him and enjoy life. The song is a romantic corrido, a subgenre of regional Mexican music that typically narrates love stories or adventures1.
The song makes me feel upbeat and cheerful, as it has a catchy melody and a lively rhythm. The artist weaves the story using simple and direct language, with some references to luxury brands and popular culture. He uses the how, where, when, who and what technique to describe his feelings and intentions for the woman. For example, he says how he can eat her how she likes, where he wants to take her (with him), when he is coming for her (in hot), who she is (a bad girl, a devil, a princess), and what he can offer her (Christian Dior, Fendi, Balenciaga, money, the moon).
The song does not include explicit themes, but it does imply some sexual innuendo and materialism. It is a fun song, as it celebrates the attraction and passion between the two characters, without dwelling on any negative consequences or complications.
The song relates to the YouTube video by showing scenes of Xavi and the woman he sings about in a meeting with friends. The video portrays the woman as a seductive and playful person, who enjoys dancing and flirting with Xavi. The video also shows Xavi as a confident and generous man, who showers the woman with gifts and affection. The video matches the tone and mood of the song, as it depicts a fun and carefree relationship.
