El Equivocado is a playful cumbia from Dominican artist Mano Arriba that flips the classic love story on its head. Instead of hunting for a flawless Prince Charming, the singer cheekily tells her friends that perfection is overrated and probably doesn’t exist anyway. With a wink she admits that this so-called “wrong guy” messes up her lipstick and mascara, yet their chemistry is undeniable, and that is reason enough to keep dancing with him.
The chorus drives home the message: stop overthinking, enjoy the present, and have fun with whoever makes your heart race while you wait for the so-called “right one” to appear. By comparing the outdated fairy-tale prince to a daring “big bad wolf,” Mano Arriba celebrates living in the moment, trusting your own desires, and finding joy in imperfection—all wrapped in an irresistible cumbia beat that invites you to move, smile, and maybe text that “equivocado” back.
