Sexo (Continuous Mix) is a cheeky, high‐energy anthem in which Puerto Rican wordsmith Residente, producer Dillon Francis, and singer iLe pull back the curtain on our most common motivation: desire. By name-dropping Sigmund Freud and Judith Butler, the lyrics frame sex as both a primal instinct and a cultural construct, then hilariously point out how perfume, fancy clothes, poetry, cars, diets, and even awkward small talk about star signs often hide one simple goal. Over pounding beats and playful chants, the song reminds us that since “the monkeys discovered fire,” humanity has been chasing the same thrill—and that it is perfectly natural.
Rather than judging that impulse, the track celebrates it. From mariachi serenades to cinema dates, every over-the-top gesture becomes a comedic proof that “nobody says it, but everybody wants it.” The message is clear: strip away the disguises, embrace honesty, and dance along to the universal rhythm that keeps the human story moving. Packed with wit, sociological nods, and infectious Latin grooves, “Sexo” turns a taboo topic into a joyful acknowledgment of what makes us—quite literally—tick.
René Pérez Joglar, known professionally as Residente, is a critically acclaimed Puerto Rican rapper, singer, songwriter, and filmmaker. Born in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico, in 1978, he first gained fame as one of the founders of the alternative rap band Calle 13, releasing five albums with the group before embarking on a solo career in 2015.
Residente's music is notable for its poetic lyrics and fusion of diverse genres, from reggaeton and Latin trap to world music. His 2017 self-titled solo album was inspired by a genealogical DNA test, recorded across several countries to celebrate his multicultural roots. With an impressive collection of four Grammy Awards and 29 Latin Grammy Awards, Residente is recognized as one of the most awarded Latin artists of all time. Beyond music, he is also known for his social activism, supporting indigenous rights and education across Latin America.
