China Lyrics in English by Anuel AA, Karol G, Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, Ozuna

Querella is a formal term for a legal complaint or police report, the kind you file when you want authorities to investigate wrongdoing.

In the lyric "Quien vaya a chotear, ya llegó a la querella" the singer warns that anyone who snitches will find a querella already waiting for them, adding a dramatic legal twist to the party scene. It’s a distinctive, less-common word that packs cultural flavor and is perfect for expanding your Spanish vocabulary beyond everyday conversation.

"China" brings together Puerto Rican star Anuel AA with Karol G, Daddy Yankee, J Balvin, and Ozuna for a massive reggaeton party that spins around one guilty confession: ignoring your partner's phone calls because the club is way too good. Right from the hook, Anuel admits, "Mi mujer me estaba llamando, pero yo no contesté" ("My woman was calling me, but I didn't answer"), getting completely lost in dancing ("perreando", the classic reggaeton party grind) with someone new. Instead of running home, the singers lean into the distraction, throwing out hilarious excuses like joking that the doctor must have been drunk on delivery day ("Para mí que el doctor estaba bebiendo el día que yo nací").

The track is packed with bold Puerto Rican street slang that gives it so much personality. When Anuel raps "Me creo bichote tirando los pesos" ("I think I'm a drug kingpin throwing money"), he uses bichote, a Puerto Rican term for a powerful street boss or big shot who flaunts cash. Later, the lyrics blame the drinks ("Un shot, dos shots, empezó el problema" - "One shot, two shots, the problem started") and warn against snitches using the local slang chotear ("Quien vaya a chotear, ya llegó a la querella" - "Whoever is going to snitch, the complaint has arrived"). Karol G flips the script on the guys by admitting her boyfriend expected her back before midnight ("mi novio me esperaba antes que fueran las doce"), but if she runs into him tomorrow, she will simply pretend she has never met him. It is chaotic, unapologetically messy club behavior wrapped in infectious dance rhythms.
