Ella vive la vida como un tango
Pero ahora quiere fuego entre sus labio'
Él no merece tenerla en sus brazos
Ella lo sabe, ella lo sabe

Ahora le toca a ella
Tomarse la botella
Y salirse a divertir
And it goes like this

Un, dos, tres, avanza
Left, right, left, avanza
One, two, step, avanza
What you wanna do
Is just dance, dance, dance, dance

Su vida está mejor ahora sin él
Sabe que su cadera no le fallan
No necesita a nadie pa' estar bien
Ella no falla, ella no falla
Baile, tú quiere' baile
Yo estoy pa' darle así como ves

Matando la liga, así como ves, eh

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "Cambiar el Paso," which are repeated throughout the song, are simply nonsensical syllables used as a rhythmical device. The lyrics themselves are about a woman who is living life like a tango dance, but she now wants to add some fire to her life. She recognizes that the man she is with doesn't deserve to be in her arms, and so she decides to take control and have some fun. The song speaks to the idea that a woman does not need a man to make her feel complete, and that she can take charge of her own life and destiny.


The chorus of the song, "Cambia el Paso," which means "Change the Step," refers to the idea that the woman is changing her life and doing things differently. She is no longer going to be held back by a man, but is going to embrace life and have some fun. The verses go on to describe how the woman is enjoying newfound freedom, and is no longer in need of a partner to be happy.


The song is a collaboration between Jennifer Lopez and Rauw Alejandro, a Puerto Rican artist known for his hit song "Tattoo." The two artists worked together before on the remix of Rauw's song "Fantasias." The song was produced by Tainy, a renowned Puerto Rican producer.

The song begins with a catchy beat and repetitive sounds that are meant to grab the listener's attention and get them excited.


Ella vive la vida como un tango Pero ahora quiere fuego entre sus labio' Él no merece tenerla en sus brazos Ella lo sabe, ella lo sabe
The female protagonist leads her life like a tango dance, where there are set steps to follow. However, she desires passion in her life now. She knows that the male she was with doesn't deserve to hold her in his arms anymore, and she's aware of it.


Ahora le toca a ella Tomarse la botella Y salirse a divertir And it goes like this
It's now her turn to take the bottle and go out and have some fun. The music picks up, and the singer seems to be leading the listener to get out on the dance floor.


Un, dos, tres, avanza Left, right, left, avanza One, two, step, avanza What you wanna do Is just dance, dance, dance, dance Un, dos, tres, avanza Left, right, left, avanza One, two, step, avanza What you wanna do Is just dance, dance, dance, dance
The catchy lyrics say to move forward, left-right-left and one-two-step to the beat, and dance to one's heart's content.


Cambia el paso Cambia el paso Cambia el paso What you wanna do Is just dance, dance, dance, dance Cambia el paso (cambia el paso) Cambia el paso (cambia el paso) Cambia el paso What you wanna do Is just dance, dance, dance, dance
The chorus is straightforward - change the pace, change the beat, and dance as much as one likes!


Su vida está mejor ahora sin él Sabe que su cadera no le fallan No necesita a nadie pa' estar bien Ella no falla, ella no falla Baile, tú quiere' baile Yo estoy pa' darle así como ves Ahora me hacen fila con mis amiga' Matando la liga, así como ves, eh
The female protagonist's life is better without the male in it. She's grown confident in herself and knows her body's rhythm is flawless. She no longer needs anyone to feel complete; she can stand on her own two feet. She is highly desirable and the center of attention among her friends.


Soltera se queda Ahora se come el que ella quiera Soltera se queda Ahora se come el que ella quiera (Ra-Rauw)
She's single, and now, she can do whatever she wants. She can date whomever she wishes and doesn't need anyone's approval (singer Rauw Alejandro provides these supporting lines to highlight this point).


Lo dejó porque no se deja (Tú ere' un bobo, jeje) Se puso pa' la vuelta, ahora fue que apretó (okey) Ella está deliciosa (¡uh-wuh!) Mami, tú ere' otra cosa (ih-yih) La pinta que lleva e' costosa Yo no tengo miedo y tú ere' peligrosa (mami, dice, ey) Anda en la misma que yo (yo) No está puesta pa' la relacione' (yeah) En la disco lo prendió (okey) Que le digan algo, sin cojone' (uh, ey) Con la nota se elevó (se elevó) Jugamo' al mismo juego (oh, yeah) Le mentiste y no te quedó Rompiste los código', ella te olvidó (¡yah!)
These are the male rapper Rauw Alejandro's rapped lines a story outlining how the male protagonist lost the female prodigal to another male. Despite seemingly not bothered, Alejandro recognizes her value and realizes she's too high-class for her ex. Now, with her revelation of freedom, going back to him isn't an option anymore.


Un, dos, tres, avanza (oh) Left, right, left, avanza (ah) One, two, step, avanza What you wanna do Is just dance, dance, dance, dance (yeah) Un, dos, tres, avanza (oh, yeah) Left, right, left, avanza (oh, yeah-yeah) One, two, step, avanza What you wanna do Is just dance, dance, dance, dance (uh)
The chorus repeats, directing the listener to move forward again, left-right-left do a one-two step with an upbeat tempo.


Cambia el paso (¡ah!) Cambia el paso (uh-uh) Cambia el paso What you wanna do Is just dance, dance, dance, dance (yeah) Cambia el paso (cambia el paso) Cambia el paso (cambia el paso) Cambia el paso What you wanna do Is just dance, dance, dance, dance (¡yah!)
The song ends with another repetition of the chorus to cement the idea that if life gets too confining or boring, one can hit the dance floor without any worry and forget all worries.


Ra-Rauw, ey Rauw Alejandro J.Lo Oh, yeah-yeah Oh, yeah-yeah What you wanna do is just dance, dance, dance, dance
This is a sign off from the Rauw Alejandro, JLo, and the third co-producer of this song, Tainy. They remind the listener to cease control of life's beat and just dance along as they wish.
