"Mayores" is the song that changed my life.
It really just stemmed from personal experience of living in front of cameras.
Everybody being so nosy and they saw young Becks finally dating a grown man and they
were like, "oh my God”.
It was like worldwide news.
All the Spanish morning talk shows that my grandma watches.
Everybody was talking about it.
And they were posting pictures of his body and what he does and my grandma calls me and
she's like
This isn't the verse that everybody's heard.
This is another verse that was so dirty, so dirty that we were like, guys, our song is
never, ever going to be played on radio, and not just on radio, but like, anywhere.
I don't know.
This might have gone a little too far, and we had to send it back and be like, okay,
Bad Bunny, I need you to be a little bit of a good bunny on this song, okay?
Guys at the time can say, I want a lady in the streets but a freak in the sheets.
And it's like we want the same thing, too.
When I'm around other women and I'm talking with my girls, even my mom, we're like "Ooh,
you know, this, this, this," and we get into it and I'm just like dude, why don't we talk
about these things?
I love to be called really sweet things, but I like to be called really sexy things too.
That contrast, it's like, for me, the balance and the type of relationship I'm trying to
have because I want to spice things up and I want to have fun.
I want a hopeless romantic but at the same time, a guy who can get with it.
Every time that I would do an interview, people would be like, your lyrics are just so forward
and I'm like those are some pretty beautiful lyrics, alright?
You want a gentleman.
You want a best friend.
You want a good lover.
Why can't I say that?
That's nice, no?
I started dating somebody who was actually not that much older than me, but
maybe looked older than me.
And the way people received that and perceived that was like so outrageous, that I was like,
yo, imagine if he really was 45, 50.
I wouldn't be mad at that.
So when we're saying like Mayores, where it came from for me was more like a maturity.
At the time when the song came out, so many people didn't want to play the song on radio.
I'm talking about the kisses.
What everybody else is thinking about is not my fault.
Enrique Iglesias had that song where he would say...
"I want to finish in your mouth."
What?
Hold up.
And then he would finish the line and you're like, oh my God, I can't believe I thought that.
I'm so disgusting.
It was so cool because it's so creative.
That's the whole part of being an artist, right?
Getting people to think bigger and to feel things.
I think Mayores made a lot of people feel a lot of things.
It's really sweet.
I've seen some old, old, old couples come up to me and there'll be kind of a big age
difference, but at this point, they're so old that you can't even tell the age difference.
She'll be like...
And I'm just like, this is the cutest thing I've ever seen.
