Mayores literally translates to 'older' or 'grown-ups'.
In the song, Becky G cheekily sings about preferring 'older' men who are gentlemen (señores). However, the track's success comes from its clever double meaning, where mayores is also used to hint at a preference for things that are, well... 'bigger'. It's a perfect example of the playful wordplay, known as doble sentido, that is common in Latin music.
“Mayores” is a playful reggaeton anthem where Becky G confidently declares her preference for mayores – mature men who open doors, send flowers, and know how to treat her like a lady… until things heat up. Her lyrics mix romance with flirtatious boldness, showing she wants both chivalry and passion. Enter Bad Bunny, the younger suitor who insists he can match – or beat – any older rival, bringing a fun back-and-forth energy to the track.
Beneath the catchy beat, the song celebrates self-assurance, desire, and breaking age expectations. Becky G flips traditional gender roles by openly stating what she likes, while Bad Bunny answers with equal bravado. The result is a light-hearted conversation about attraction, confidence, and owning your preferences, all wrapped in the irresistible rhythm of reggaeton.
