Get ready for the weekend! Bobby Pulido's "Se Me Antoja" is a fun-loving anthem all about the excitement of a Friday night. The lyrics paint a picture of leaving the work week behind and looking for any excuse to go out and have a good time. The singer describes the ritual of texting friends to see who's in and starting a coperacha, which is when everyone chips in money to get the pachanga, or party, started.
What does the perfect Friday night look like? According to the song, it's all about staying up late with friends, drinking some cold beers (heladas), and singing while cruising around in a truck (troca) with no worries until the sun comes up. To make the night complete, the singer hopes to meet a girl—specifically, one who knows how to dance and can keep him warm.
