What the song is about

“Pepas” (2021) by the Puerto Rican singer Farruko is a festival song: a slow reggaeton opening, then a huge electronic drop made for a crowd jumping with their hands in the air. It became one of the biggest Latin songs of the year and a staple of stadiums and summer festivals.

“Pepas” is slang for pills — party drugs — and the song describes a wild night out. That's worth knowing before you sing it at a family party.

There are very few words, mostly repeated, which makes it easy to follow; the useful part for learners is the slang of nights out in Puerto Rico and how much of the song lives in its rhythm rather than its words.
