“IMPARES” paints a vivid picture of a relationship that gambled everything on a reunion and went completely bankrupt. Daddy Yankee, the Puerto Rican icon, compares lovers to numbers: while a healthy couple is a par (an even pair), he and his partner have become impares – odd, mismatched, out of sync. Through clever banking metaphors (“la cuenta en bancarrota”) and confessions of mutual cheating, he shows how distrust can empty the emotional vault. The pair used to share a bed, secrets, and dreams, but now they only share doubts and call logs full of deleted histories.
Beneath the catchy reggaetón beat lies a tough lesson: love may have no expiration date in theory, yet it can still spoil without honesty. Instead of romantic clichés, Daddy Yankee delivers raw admissions of fault (“yo te fallé y tú me fallaste”) and acknowledges that sometimes lying becomes an art when a bond is already broken. “IMPARES” is a fun but sobering reminder that when trust collapses, no lucky number – not a divine 7 or a double 11 – can make two odd numbers add up to the perfect pair again.
Ramón Luis Ayala Rodríguez, known professionally as Daddy Yankee, is a pioneering Puerto Rican rapper, singer, and songwriter born on February 3, 1976, in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Often hailed as the King of Reggaeton, he brought the genre to global prominence with his 2004 international hit "Gasolina," which played a crucial role in making reggaeton a worldwide phenomenon.
With a career spanning over three decades, Daddy Yankee has sold around 30 million records and earned numerous awards, including five Latin Grammy Awards. His 2017 collaboration on the record-breaking single "Despacito" further cemented his place as a global Latin music icon. Known for his powerful influence on Hispanic urban music, Daddy Yankee officially retired in December 2023 after his final tour in Puerto Rico, leaving behind a lasting legacy in Latin music.
