bellaquera — horniness / lust

Bellaquera is a slang term that refers to a state of intense sexual arousal or horniness. It's a very direct and explicit word, common in reggaeton and urban music.

In "Como Antes," Noriel uses bellaquera to describe the strong sexual desire he feels and how only his former lover can truly satisfy it, stating, "nadie es mejor que tĂș pa' yo bajar la bellaquera" (nobody is better than you for me to lower my horniness). This word is key to understanding the raw and passionate tone of the song.

Como Antes is a steamy reggaetón-trap confession where Puerto Rican artist Noriel, joined by Billy Ronca, looks back at an untamed romance that refuses to stay in the past. The narrator admits he still stalks his ex’s social media and, despite her new relationship, knows she is equally tempted. What follows is a no-filter recollection of their late-night marathons, threesomes, designer gifts, and drug-laced adventures that once kept both of them wide-eyed until sunrise. Every line drips with nostalgia, sensual bragging, and a desire for just one more round “como antes”⁠—like before.

Beneath the explicit imagery lies the tug-of-war between moving on and reliving the thrill of yesterday. Noriel romanticizes the chaos, painting their hookups as legendary “clásicos” on par with Real Madrid vs. Barça. Even though another man is now in the picture, the singer sees a secret reunion as inevitable, almost medicinal, “daily like an antibiotic.” In short, the track is an unapologetic, adrenaline-charged plea to press replay on a wild chapter that both lovers secretly miss.
