Picante

V6

[Intro – Close-mic spoken female, dry and teasing; single sub pulse] You like it hot? [Pause] Ay, papi... You ordered mild. [DROP – 8 bars: Low sliding 808, swung 2-step, syncopated congas, dark organ riff] [Verse 1 – Smoky female rhythmic rap, confident and playful] Saw you watching from across the room, Trying to play cool with your expensive perfume. You took one step, I took two, Now you're wondering what you got yourself into. No soy dulce, soy candela, tengo fuego en las caderas. Si te acercas, ten cuidado, que este ritmo está cargado. [Pre-Chorus – Strip to percussion, whispered female lead] A little closer, not so fast, Can you make this feeling last? Dime, dime, ¿qué vas a hacer? When the bass gets under your skin? [Chorus – Hypnotic female hook, full sliding 808] Picante, picante! Too hot for your hands, cariño! Picante, picante! Feel that bass go down, down low! Dame ritmo, dame fuego, don't you stop, que yo te llevo. Picante, picante! You wanted heat? Aquí lo tienes! [Post-Chorus – 8 bars: Chopped female "pica-pica" vocal, sliding 808] Pica-pica-picante! Baja, baja! Pica-pica-picante! Sube, sube! [Verse 2 – Playful rapid-fire female rap, tight UKG shuffle] You got a nice smile, got a dangerous stare, But I don't fall for just anybody standing there. Can you catch that beat? Can you keep that pace? Or you gonna lose your cool when I turn up the bass? Tengo salsa, tengo swing, mira cómo hago mi thing. Si no aguantas el calor, vete, mi amor, por favor. [Pre-Chorus – Congas and claps, bass rising] One more step, don't lose your nerve, I don't chase, I make you swerve. Dime, dime, ¿qué vas a hacer? When the bass gets under your skin? [Chorus – Full 808 impact, crisp female doubles] Picante, picante! Too hot for your hands, cariño! Picante, picante! Feel that bass go down, down low! Dame ritmo, dame fuego, don't you stop, que yo te llevo. Picante, picante! You wanted heat? Aquí lo tienes! [BREAKDOWN – 8 bars: Half-time drums, deep sustained sub, sparse congas] [Bridge – Intimate dry female spoken, music almost silent] Mmm... You look a little nervous. [One low bass pulse] What's wrong, baby? [Pause] Can't handle a little spice? [BUILD – 4 bars: Accelerating Latin percussion, snare rolls, ascending sub] Suave... Más fuerte... Más abajo... ¡AHORA! [DOUBLE DROP – 16 bars: Monstrous sliding 808, hard Miami kicks, stuttering UKG breaks, conga fills, dark organ stabs] [Final Chorus – Powerful smoky female lead, playful rhythmic doubles] Picante, picante! Too hot for your hands, cariño! Picante, picante! Feel that bass go down, down low! Dame ritmo, dame fuego, don't you stop, que yo te llevo. Picante, picante! You wanted heat? Aquí lo tienes! [Outro – Beat cuts, dry spoken female] Next time, baby... [Pause] Read the warning label. [Single deep 808 slide – END]
