In “Un Ratito”, Juliette and Luis Fonsi play with each other in the lyrics through flirting, creating a fun and seductive song.
The release “Un Ratito”, by Alok, Lunay, Lenny Tavárez, Juliette and Luis Fonsi arrived on digital platforms at midnight on Friday (14). The lyrics, released only after the song’s debut, certainly matched the hot rhythm of the melody. According to many, it has fun and spicy touches. After all, throughout the song, the singers exchange songs. Luis Fonsi, for example, invests in Juliette, in a mix of Spanish and Portuguese where the two spend a night together.
In the song, the Puerto Rican provokes: “You tell me, if we kiss once and get out of this”. In response, the Brazilian could not be more direct: “Pay to see what the consequence is. If it takes too long, I’ll lose patience. Now there’s no way out, because one night with me is just one chance in life.” Soon after, the song returns to Spanish, and Luis Fonsi is responsible for naming the song. “Even if it’s just a little.” Juliette asks him to speed up: “You have to taste me, it won’t take long to kiss.”
However, the expected “ratito”, or “little time”, ends up being more than just one kiss, in the view of Juliette and Luis Fonsi. So, they stay together during the night, but she leaves before the sun rises, according to the lyrics of the song. Fonsi sings: “You vas before you salt the sun, but in the darkness, you give me the middle moon”. In translation, “you leave before the sun rises, but in the dark, give me the half moon”.
Alok says that the partnership between Juliette and Luis Fonsi almost didn’t work out
Last Thursday night (13), shortly before the release of the single, Alok and Juliette did a live on Instagram, so that they could publicize the partnership. Furthermore, in the conversation, the DJ talked about some details that would have shaken up behind the scenes of the recording. After all, it is the ex-BBB’s first international partnership and winner.
According to Alok, the song almost didn’t come out, as Luis Fonsi was focused on another project, and the single wasn’t his priority at the moment. After all, the Puerto Rican is working to release another album. In this way, a separate song could interfere with the promotion of the production.
“I’m going to tell you something here that I don’t think I’ve even told you yet. This song wasn’t going to come out now. We wouldn’t be able to launch it this month. I talked to Luis Fonsi and he said he wouldn’t be able to release the song in January, because he’s working on the new album and so on,” said Alok. According to him, the secret to ensuring that the production with Juliette was successful was the promise of success. “I told him, ‘You’re not going to do that. If this song doesn’t reach the top 1, you can have the wine, and I’ll give it to you!’”.
