The song speaks about a man and a woman who are attracted to each other and want to passionately be intimate with each other. The song's central metaphor is the idea of a "machete" which serves as a symbol for one's sexual energy or prowess. The song expresses the desire for sensual exploration with lyrics like "Ella quiere que la sobe, Que le pase la manita porque suelta la pone".
Throughout the song, Daddy Yankee, shows his unapologetic and confident nature. He acknowledges his sexual desire by allowing the woman to take control with the command, "Píllala contra el muro" (Catch her against the wall). The lyrics also mention the woman's sexuality, noting that she "se tira sola para los tiburones" (throws herself to the sharks). The energy is electric throughout as Yankee encourages the woman and promotes living uninhibitedly.
