Por Perro is a catchy pop-urban confession where Sebastián Yatra teams up with Luis Figueroa and Lary Over to turn heartbreak into a sing-along. Behind the irresistible beat, the singers admit they are “hecho mierda” without their exes, yet they keep putting on a show of confidence. From Monday to Thursday they fake a smile, but once the weekend hits, the loneliness crashes in, the Moët flows, and every buzz of the phone feels like it might be her calling. The hook, “Yo por perro me lo busqué,” literally means “I brought this on myself for being a dog,” and sums up their regret for having played around until they lost the person they actually loved.
Instead of moving on, the guys dive into parties, bragging, and late-night drunken calls that only deepen the ache. The lyrics blend vulnerability and macho swagger, painting a relatable picture: trying to look cool on the dance floor while secretly checking the screen for a message that never comes. With its smooth vocals, reggaetón beats, and playful Spanish slang, the song teaches a simple lesson — sometimes the biggest punishment for bad behavior is realizing what you threw away, and no amount of partying can fill that empty space.
Sebastián Yatra, born Sebastián Obando Giraldo in Medellín, Colombia on October 15, 1994, is a vibrant singer, songwriter, and stage actor celebrated for his blend of romantic Latin pop and energetic reggaeton. Raised primarily in Miami, Yatra began singing young and gained fame in 2016 with his hit "Traicionera," a track that launched his international career.
His music is known for its heartfelt lyrics that artfully mix traditional balladry with modern urban beats. Yatra has released three studio albums, including the Grammy-nominated Fantasía, and has collaborated with notable artists such as Carlos Vives, Daddy Yankee, and the Jonas Brothers. In 2024, he expanded his artistic reach by making his Broadway debut in the musical Chicago as Billy Flynn.
