The song "Esa Loca" is a collaboration between Sean Paul and Tony Touch, and it features R.O.B.B. The song title translates to "That Crazy Girl" in English. The song's intro sets the tone with R.O.B.B. reminiscing Tony Touch from Capicu, and his admiration for Caribbean women. He also boasts that he cannot be stopped and has connections to people who can deal with haters. Tony Touch starts the first verse by giving a shout out to the people he's representing, the Latin community. He refers to himself as "Mr. Suavito," emphasizing how smooth he is. He raps about loyalty to his friends and being prepared for any threats. Tony Touch then passes the mic to Sean Paul, who starts by encouraging unity amongst different races. He then goes on to brag about his gun, or rather, "teflon," and how he doesn't need a lawyer to defend it. He declares himself "the Dappa Duty," meaning he is the best or "rudest" of all, and he won't tolerate anyone who thinks otherwise.
The chorus is catchy, and it repeats the phrase "Esa Loca" several times. Sean Paul and Tony Touch trade verses, rapping about their accolades and successes from different angles, but always bringing their distinct Caribbean flair. The song's outro comprises Sean Paul giving a shout out to the people involved in making the song and encouraging them to continue pursuing their craft.

Yo tell mi if you heard of mi never dem call mi
If you have not heard of me, then you must not be anybody significant
