The song’s style is an homage to the decades-old genre and the Dominican Republic. “I worked on part of ‘Mañana Sera Bonito’ there, and when I need to disconnect from the world and connect with myself, I also go there,” she wrote on Instagram . “Its culture, its music, its colors, the hospitality, the energy… everything feels very authentic and special there. Its people have embraced me in a way that fills my heart and inspires me all the time.”
Below, Billboard translates the Spanish lyrics of “Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido” into English:
What would have been If I had met you before Surely, you’d be dancing this song with me Not like friends
Like something else You close to me makes me dangerous For a kiss, I’ll do anything Your girlfriend gets me jealous and although she’s beautiful Ey!
She won’t treat you like I would She won’t kiss you like I would She’s not as good as I am She’s shy and I’m not I’d be willing to eat you both Today you’re hanging with her But maybe later you won’t be
What would have been If I had met you before Surely, you’d be dancing this song with me Not like friends Ey!
What would have been If I had met you before Surely, you’d be dancing this song with me Not like friends Ey!
I see you and I don’t know how to act Baby, to seduce you, someone give me the manual Whatever it is, I won’t back down I have faith those eyes will see me one day I’ll marry you My name sounds good with your last name I’m waiting for the first slip-up So I can introduce you as my husband I’ll marry you My name sounds good with your last name I’m waiting for the first slipup So I can introduce you as my husband You haven’t understood that
She won’t treat you like I would She won’t kiss you like I would She’s not as good as I am She’s shy and I’m not I’d be willing to eat you both Today you’re hanging with her But maybe later you won’t be
What would have been If I had met you before Surely, you’d be dancing this song with me Not like friends no, no, no Ey, ey, ey, ey What would have been If had met you before Chiqui-chá, chiqui-chá, chiqui-chá, chiqui-chá (Ja, ja, ah) Uh-uh-uh-uh (What would have been) (If I had met you before)
