LOKERA Lyrics in English by Rauw Alejandro, Lyanno, Brray
Loquera comes from the word loco (crazy) and means 'a fit of madness' or 'a wild spree'. It's a highly expressive word that perfectly titles this high-energy song about letting loose.
When Rauw Alejandro sings that he wants to coger una loquera, he's talking about escaping the everyday to go on a crazy, uninhibited party adventure for the night. The word perfectly captures the entire rebellious and fun-loving vibe of the track.
If you are looking for a track about polite heartbreak, this is not it. Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro teams up with Lyanno and Brray on "LOKERA" to make one thing crystal clear: the ex is in the past, the bank account is getting drained tonight, and nobody is sleeping in their own bed. Right from the hook—"Estoy puesto para coger una nota cabrona / Explotar la cuenta y perrearme una culona" ("I'm ready to get a crazy buzz / Blow my bank account and grind on a girl with a big butt")—the track goes all-in on reckless nightlife. In Puerto Rico, "coger una loquera" means going wild or acting crazy, and the trio treat the club floor like an endurance test with repeated calls to "guayar" (to grind or rub up close while dancing).
The verses pack in heavy street slang, bragging, and rapid-fire pop culture nods. The artists boast about living fast, drinking Don Julio "1942 sin dividendo" ("1942 without splitting the bill"), and moving secretly like drug lord "El Chapo". There is a hilarious shoutout to Chile's famous music festival when one line boasts that if a girl were the "Viña del Mar" festival, he already won all the "gaviotas" (the seagull-shaped trophies handed out to top performers). They also drop references to Megan Thee Stallion's dance style ("que lo mueva como Megan") and Dominican merengue star Omega ("no me matan como Omega"). It is dirty, boastful, and built entirely around high-energy club chaos.
