Songfacts®:

  • "Un Preview" is a steamy reggaeton banger where Bad Bunny details his intense desire for the object of his affection. He's smitten and eager for a serious shot at love.
  • Bad Bunny begins the song by announcing that he is offering a glimpse of what will follow later.

    Ven acá, pa' ponerte algo, pa' ponerte un preview de lo que viene despué'

    Translates into English as:
    Come here, I show you something, a preview of what comes next

    The track serves as a prelude to what awaits if she takes a chance on Bad Bunny's offer.
  • Next, Bunny dives into the song's pre-chorus, displaying his readiness to dive headfirst into love, willing to let the night lead wherever it may. He's all ears for her desires, ready to make them a reality.

    The chorus catapults us to a club scene where Bad Bunny is carefree, dancing and showering her neck with kisses.

    At the onset of the song's lone verse, Bad Bunny pays tribute to his lady's beauty, acknowledging she's had his undivided attention all night. He pledges his loyalty, leaving no room for other fleeting flings. There's even a nod to jetting off to the Dominican Republic to savor some Barceló rum.

    In the bridge, he talks about "being together," employing the Puerto Rican term "jevo" to signify the desire for an exclusive relationship.
  • Early in the verse, Bad Bunny calls the woman his cowgirl.

    Diablo, mami, qué bellaquera
    Me estuviste mirando la noche entera
    W, tú ere' mi vaquero


    Translates as:
    Devil, mommy, what a scoundrel
    You were looking at me the whole night
    W, you are my cowgirl


    This ties into the song's cowboy-inspired music video, where Bunny hops onto a coin-operated horse. There's also a barely clothed woman riding a real horse, along with some masked individuals busting moves in cowboy boots and hats.
  • Three of Bad Bunny's production mainstays produced the track:

    Bunny's longtime engineer La Paciencia
    Brooklyn born Puerto Rican-Dominican producer Marco "MAG" Borrero
    Puerto Rican producer Tainy
