“Bichota” (2020) is KAROL G's song about feeling powerful. She's going out, she looks great, she pays her own way and she answers to no one. The word bichota comes from Puerto Rican and Colombian street slang, the feminine of “bichote” — originally a big shot in a gang — but KAROL G reclaimed it as a name for a confident, independent woman.
The song was a huge hit and the word stuck: fans now call themselves bichotas, and it even became the name of her tour. The beat is reggaeton, but the delivery is clear and the lines are short.
It's a great song for the vocabulary of self-confidence and nights out, and for seeing how slang words change meaning when a star picks them up.
