On May 9, 2021, Joel Pimentel announced his exit from the group, citing desires to "grow and explore new artistic venues". The band announced they would continue as a quartet. Two months later, on June 22, the band released "Toa La Noche", their first song as a foursome. They collaborated with Alex Rose for the song "Pa Que Guaye", released on September 16.

CNCO Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sleeping, you're on your tippy toes
Creeping around like no one knows
Think you're so criminal
Bruises, on both my knees for you
Don't say thank you or please
I do what I want when I'm wanting to
My soul? So cynical
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy, duh
Lo de ella es la fiesta
Lo de ella es la rumba y prende
En la discoteca (En la discoteca, yeh)
Encima de la mesa bebe
Dicen que a Cupido ella le metió un balazo
No le hablen de amor porque no tiene caso, no
Un angelito que le cortaron las alas
Ella está buena, pero ella es bien mala
Seguro que te hace sufrir
Pero es la que me gusta a mí
So you're a tough guy
Like it really rough guy
Just can't get enough guy
Chest always so puffed guy
I'm that bad type
Make your mama sad type
Make your girlfriend mad tight
Might seduce your dad type
I'm the bad guy
I'm a bad
I'm a bad
I'm a bad guy
Ooh, I'm a bad guy, ayy
I'm a bad
I'm a bad
I'm a bad guy
Ooh, I'm a bad guy, ayy (Yeah)
The lyrics to CNCO's song "Bad Guy" describe a person who is tough, rough, and unapologetically bad. With a white shirt stained with blood and bruises on their knees, the singer sings about their willingness to do whatever they want, whenever they want. The line "Think you're so criminal" implies that the singer thinks they are just as tough and criminal as the person they are addressing.
The chorus serves to reinforce the image of this tough, bad person. They mock the listener for their tough-guy act, saying that they "just can't get enough" and are always trying to puff up their chest. The singer confidently declares themselves to be the "bad guy," embodying the archetype of the rebellious, rule-breaking antihero.
Interestingly, the song ends with a Spanish verse, sung by Joel Pimentel, that takes on a different tone. Rather than bragging about their toughness, the verse describes a woman who is a "party animal" and can be dangerous when it comes to love. The verse suggests that despite her wild ways, the singer is still drawn to her.
Overall, "Bad Guy" presents an image of rebellion and danger, celebrating the freedom to do whatever you want without regard for consequences. While some might see this as problematic, the song taps into a powerful image of the antihero, someone who rejects the rules of society and lives life on their own terms.
