Bad Bunny is one of the most successful and influential Latin artists of the 21st century.
The Puerto Rican rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer has been breaking records and boundaries with his eclectic and innovative musical style, which blends Latin trap, reggaeton, pop, hip-hop, rock, and other genres.
He has also been a pioneer in using TikTok as a platform to promote his music and connect with his fans.
One of his latest hits, Where She Goes, is a perfect example of how Bad Bunny leveraged TikTok to create a global sensation.
The song was first teased on TikTok earlier in May 2023, when Bad Bunny posted a video of himself lip-syncing to the chorus of the song, which immediately caught the attention of his followers, who started to create their own videos using the sound.
What Where She Goes Lyrics Mean
At its core, Where She Goes is a narrative of modern love. The song starts with a haunting melody, setting the tone for a narrative of fleeting romance and the lingering questions that come with the lyrics.
A harmonious blend of Spanish and English that delve into the intricacies of fleeting romance in today’s digital age with lines like “Baby, tell me the truth, if you already forgot me“, captures the essence of transient relationships, where connections are made and lost in the blink of an eye.
The lines emphasise the cyclical nature of such encounters, where meetings and partings become routine, leaving behind a trail of memories and what-ifs.
The song touches upon the paradox of our times: in an era of instant connections, there’s a deeper yearning for genuine bonds.
The bilingual lyrics reflect the globalized world we live in, where love and emotions transcend linguistic barriers.
Bad Bunny masterfully captures the zeitgeist of contemporary romance, where love is both instantaneous and elusive.

Bad Bunny WHERE SHE GOES Lyrics (English Translation)
Chorus
Baby, tell me the truth
If you already forgot me
I know that it was only one night
That it won’t happen again
Maybe in you I wanted to find
What I lost in someone else
Your pride does not want to talk to me
So we are gonna compete, let see, ayy
Verse 1
I don’t like to lose (Ayy), tell me what will we do
I’m always looking at my phone (Ah), wow, it just can’t be (No, no)
Even if I might take a little, I swear I will respond
I would like to see you again
I would like to see you again
On top of me bouncing, ooh, ooh, ooh
How sexy you look while fucking, ooh, ooh, ooh (Ayy, ayy)
I don’t know what we are waiting for (Tell me)
Pride is winning between us, ayy
Chorus
Baby, tell me the truth
If you already forgot me
I know that it was only one night
That it won’t happen again
Maybe in you I wanted to find
What I lost in someone else
Your pride does not want to talk to me
So we are gonna compete, let see, ayy
Verse 2
Ooh, since we saw each other I remember how we ate each other, ayy
Then we divided, each taking their own way
There are still wine spots in the carpet
Where is that pussy? It’s been lost for a while
If I tell you that I like you, that you’re hot, don’t take it as a compliment
It’s just that I’m playful, it’s just that I’m naughty, ayy
And I’ve been wanting to fuck with you for a while now
Mami, I’ll do you until you pussy hurts like Glou’s (Glou)
I like your flow (Flow)
Chilling, you always steal the show (Ayy)
She’s perverse, I’ll give her dembow (Mami)
If she gets on all fours, I go where she goes (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
So, mami, tell me, let me know (Ayy, ayy)
I wanna feel that pussy again (Ayy, ayy)
You got style and I do too (I do too)
I almost lost and sent you a DM, ayy
Chorus
To tell you the truth
That I haven’t forgotten about you
I know that it was only one night
That it won’t happen again
Maybe in you I wanted to find
What I lost in someone else
Your pride does not want to talk to me
So we are gonna compete, let see, ayy
