Eslabon Armado and Peso Pluma are on a hot streak with their collaborative effort “Ella Baila Sola.”
The track hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Hot Latin Songs chart (on the April 15-dated list) after debuting atop Latin Streaming Songs. Additionally, it earned both acts career-highs on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first regional Mexican song to reach the top 10 of the all-genre chart.
Penned by Eslabon’s vocalist Pedro Tovar, “Ella Baila Sola” (she dances alone) tells the story of two friends who are talking about a pretty girl at a party.
“We didn’t expect for the song to make so much noise!” Tovar previously told Billboard. “I really liked the song when I first wrote it, but I didn’t really expect it to be such a big hit. I previewed it on my stories on Instagram and two days after it went viral on TikTok and that’s when I knew that the song was going to do big numbers.”
Below, read the complete lyrics translated into English:
Buddy, what do you think of that girl?
The one who’s dancing alone, I like her for me
She, she knows she’s good looking
And everyone is looking at her dance
I get close and tell her a verb
We take drinks without buts, only temptation
I told her “I’m going to conquer your family, and one day you’ll be mine”
She said That I’m too crazy but she likes it
That no guy acts like me
I’m not a guy who has money
But speaking of the heart, I’ll give you everything
She grabbed me by the hand
My buddy didn’t even believe it, it was me when I passed by
Her body
I swear to God it was so perfect
Her waist as a model
Her eyes
I fell in love from the beginning
She likes it and I like it
