Chulo Pt.2 Lyrics in English by Bad Gyal, Tokischa, Young Miko
Chulo is a complex and versatile slang word that changes its meaning depending on where you are in the Spanish-speaking world. It can be a compliment meaning 'cute' or 'cool' in Spain, or describe an attractive man in Mexico. However, in the Caribbean, it can also mean 'pimp'.
In "Chulo Pt. 2", the artists embrace this ambiguity to describe a confident, attractive 'bad boy' who has irresistible swagger. Understanding this single word is key to unlocking the bold and playful attitude of the entire song.
"Chulo Pt.2" brings together Spanish artist Bad Gyal, Tokischa, and Young Miko for an unfiltered club anthem that never blushes. The track zeroes in on bold, late-night lust without any interest in romance. Bad Gyal spots someone across the dance floor and lays down the mood immediately: "La cadena le brilló en lo oscuro / Huele a Baccarat, fumándose un puro" [His chain shone in the dark / He smells like Baccarat, smoking a cigar]. She is calling out a specific kind of guy—smelling like pricey Baccarat Rouge perfume, flashing jewelry, and acting tough. In Spanish, calling someone chulo can mean cute or cool, but here it leans heavily into a cocky swagger. Bad Gyal matches that arrogance step for step: "Dice que quiere tenerme a su lado / Y yo con ganas de verlo vaciao' / Para dejarlo asfixiao' y decirle 'chao, chao'" [He says he wants me by his side / And I just want to drain him / Leave him breathless and tell him 'bye, bye']. She wants the physical thrill, not the boyfriend.
When Tokischa and Young Miko step up, the track turns even more direct. Tokischa brags about her own style and wild impulses—"Te brilla la cadena y a mí me brillan los grillz" [Your chain shines and my grillz shine]—using Dominican street energy where piquete means distinct drip or swagger. Young Miko flips the script by taking on the role of the chulo herself, boasting that despite her innocent look, she is in total control: "Cara de buena y en la cama doy duro" [An innocent face, but in bed I go hard]. She drops the song's clearest rule for the night: "La nena chinga, pero no se enamora" [The girl hooks up, but doesn't fall in love]. It is funny, loud, and entirely about taking control of desire on the dance floor with Jordans laced up and zero strings attached.
