Obviously I've had those moments where I'm like waiting by the phone like, "Come on bro.
I know you see me.
I see you.
You're active right now.”
It happens to all of us.
My response to that is like bro, great, we had our moment and that was cool.
But if you're too immature to respond then you're not worth my time.
The inspiration behind this track was basically kinda talking about that guy that only calls
on the weekend.
I actually was inspired by one of my favorite artists which is SZA who has a song on here
that she explains which is called The Weekend.
And I was like, "Man, nobody has done that concept of the weekend in Spanish.”
We've only had the male perspective for so long.
So I think this song is super identifiable to girls that are going through this stuff
at my age.
Okay, another Monday went by and you still didn't text back but we was just chillin Friday,
Saturday, Sunday.
First couple Mondays you let it fly by.
You know what I mean?
But after the third one or fourth one ... Some girls it's after the first one.
It's like, "Oh come on.
I was just with you yesterday and now you not gonna text me back Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday?"
Friday, Saturday we cool.
By Sunday afternoon you're like slowly ghosting in between text messages.
Why you ghosting on Sundays?
You're like a magician, you make magic happen.
But then you disappear like a magician.
It's something that's said in Spanish a lot.
It has like a double meaning.
I'm not here for your storytelling.
I'm not here for your nonsense.
I'm not your sleeping beauty.
So you're not gonna keep me waiting
A lot of guys that keep girls waiting think we don't have the options that they have.
So they're like, "Oh nah, she can wait."
Not to be “prepotente” but there's other guys that are willing to take up that time
that you are having me sit here and wait for you.
Monday through Friday it could be anything.
It could be you got a girl, it could be you're focused on some other thing.
It could be a billion and one things but the point is when you wanna have fun you call
me and you feel like you can compartmentalize me into a certain amount of days which is
not cool.
Not cool.
You get ready to see somebody and you get in your vibe.
You put on the juice.
You know what I mean?
And so you're excited to see that person and then they leave you hanging out of fear of
rejection or out of fear of other things, would rather just not respond and leave people
waiting without explanation a lot today.
Dignity is a huge thing, if you want somebody to pay you any type of mind.
You gotta give that to yourself first for somebody else to be able to give that to you
too.
So if you're calling somebody constantly it shows that, "Oh man, this girl got a lot of time.
I'm gonna keep her waiting."
A really good empanada is always hot.
Basically I'm gonna leave you with a hot potato in your hand.
Like I'm gonna leave you hot and bothered one of these days if you keep it up.
Dominicans, we make what is called “pastelitos”.
We don't call them empanadas.
But they're basically the same thing and you can fill them with chicken, raisins, cheese,
which is my favorite.
The reason why this line, this empanada line came up, we were all very hungry in the studio.
Somebody asked like, "Yo, what do you guys wanna eat?
Ceviche, Tequenios?
What's going on?"
And they're like “una empanadita algo si.”
And it stuck.
I'm waiting on you but I'm letting you know that this is not gonna be good for you if
you keep me waiting because I know what I'm worth.
You like what I got.
If you like it then you better get a move on it because I'm not gonna be sitting here
waiting on you.
One of my favorite lines because it's a very Dominican line.
Like you got a crew of friends and everybody's like lollygagging and nobody's trying to leave
“oye ahora darle tijera y pa fuera.”
Okay?
My dad says that all the time.
