Get ready for a wild walk on the urban side! In Perra (Spanish for female dog), Colombian superstar J Balvin teams up with Dominican fire-starter Tokischa to unleash a track that compares raw human desire to dogs in heat. The repeated canine imagery—being “en calor,” looking for a “perro” to stay “pegao’,” barking in DMs—paints a picture of two people who are unapologetically following their most instinctive urges. It is a playful, provocative celebration of sexuality where both voices share the spotlight, flipping the usual gender script by letting Tokischa proudly own her hunger while Balvin answers with equal energy.
Beyond the cheeky metaphors, the song is also a shout-out to Latin street culture: there are nods to neighborhoods from Colombia to the Dominican Republic, references to Purina dog food and dog pounds, and a bouncing dembow beat that keeps the mood rebellious and fun. Perra might sound rough, but its core message is simple—embrace who you are, feel no shame about desire, and dance it all out under the heat of reggaetón’s rhythmic sun.
José Álvaro Osorio Balvín, known as J Balvin, is a pioneering Colombian reggaeton singer born in Medellín in 1985. Bursting onto the music scene in 2004, Balvin is recognized as one of the best-selling Latin artists with over 35 million records sold worldwide.
Known for hits like "6 AM," "Ay Vamos," and "Mi Gente," he has transformed reggaeton into a global phenomenon while staying true to his Spanish roots. J Balvin's eclectic style blends urbano, Latin pop, and trap, influenced by rock legends like Metallica and Nirvana, as well as icons like Daddy Yankee.
With multiple Latin Grammy Awards and Billboard Latin Music Awards under his belt, Balvin continues to break records — becoming the first Latino to headline major music festivals such as Coachella. His vibrant music and fashion make him a standout figure, dedicated to spreading Latin music worldwide.
