SONG MEANING

“Dile A Él” is Rauw Alejandro’s fiery postcard to an ex who has already moved on, yet still carries his shadow everywhere she goes. Over a sensual reggaetón beat, the Puerto Rican singer throws equal parts swagger and vulnerability: he reminds her new guy that he was the first, the one whose name is still “marked on her skin,” while confessing the sleepless nights, tear–soaked pillows, and smoke–filled rooms that haunt him. The chorus is a catchy ultimatum – “Tell him I was there before anyone else” – that flips between jealousy and pride, turning raw heartbreak into a dance-floor confession.

Beneath the bravado lies a bittersweet goodbye. Rauw relives the lust-charged memories (“you said you didn’t love me, but you miss my bed”) before accepting that he has to let her spread her wings. The song captures that messy stage where love, ego, and nostalgia tangle together: you want to walk away, yet you still want the world to know the history you shared. It is a relatable snapshot of modern heartbreak, wrapped in irresistible rhythm and Rauw Alejandro’s signature smooth-yet-aching vocals.
