Tengo Un Pal drops listeners right into the whirlwind life of Puerto Rico’s Rauw Alejandro, joined by Lyanno and producer-DJ Caleb Calloway. Throughout the track Rauw repeats the phrase “Tengo un par” (I’ve got a couple) to brag about everything he now possesses: money, power, luxury rides, private jets, women, even haters. With every boast he reveals both sides of sudden fame — the thrill of fast cars and platinum records, but also unresolved problems and the constant pressure to keep leveling up.
Beneath the glossy flexing the song carries a clear message of ambition. Rauw refuses to “die until he’s crowned,” promising to turn millions into world-spanning success. The chorus becomes a mantra of relentless hunger: the more he has, the more he wants. It is a modern reggaetón victory lap — equal parts celebration and confession — inviting English learners to explore Spanish street slang while vibing to a soundtrack of dream-big determination.
