“Habibi” is Jhayco’s flashy postcard from a night of pure reggaetón decadence. The title borrows the Arabic word for my love, yet this romance is anything but tender. Over a hypnotic beat, the Puerto Rican artist invites his “bad girl” to escape traffic jams and slip into a five-star fantasy filled with designer labels, penthouse suites and neon-blue bathtub water. Every brand name—Gucci, Louis, Bottega, Chanel—works like a drum hit, underscoring how wealth and desire blend into one irresistible rhythm.
Beneath the luxury, the song celebrates confidence and secrecy. Jhayco brags about jewelry that glitters like his lover’s allure, throws sly jabs at jealous rivals, and promises that what happens behind hotel doors stays hidden. References to Percocet, roaring engines and explosive passion push the energy even higher. “Habibi” is less about a traditional love story and more about the thrill of living fast, loving hard and shining brighter than anyone else in the room.
