The song "Gato" by J mena & Ráfaga is a collaboration between the two artists from Argentina. "Gato" is a slang term used in Argentina to refer to someone who is flirtatious and charming, particularly in a seductive way. The lyrics of the song convey a message of self-confidence, empowerment, and not being affected by what others say or think. The song starts with J mena introducing herself as a "gato" and expressing her ability to find good deals while maintaining her dignity. She states that the more people criticize her, the more she rises above it and confidently takes her place. She declares that she doesn't care about what others think of her and that it doesn't weigh her down. J mena then asserts that she does everything for herself and her own happiness. She asks to be left alone in order to be happy. The chorus repeats the phrase "pa m" (short for "para mí," meaning "for me") to emphasize her self-centered focus. The lyrics also mention Jennifer Lopez ("JLO") and urge the DJ to play her song so she can dance. This line highlights J mena's confidence and comparison to a famous and successful artist. In the second verse, J mena emphasizes the importance of not letting other people's criticism affect you. She encourages listeners to move their bodies to the rhythm of the "cumbia reggaetón" and not care about what anyone says. The bridge of the song introduces Ráfaga, a popular Argentine group known for their cumbia music. They sing about not letting people's opinions get to you and enjoying life without caring about what others say or do. Overall, "Gato" is a fun and empowering song that encourages self-confidence, self-expression, and not being affected by others' opinions or judgments. It promotes the idea of embracing one's individuality and being proud of who you are.
