Background and release
Rauw Alejandro released his second studio album, Vice Versa on June 25, 2021.[1] The album debuted at number one on Billboard Top Latin Albums, giving Alejandro his first number one on the chart,[2] and was ranked as the third-best album of 2021 and the best Spanish-language album of the year by Rolling Stone.[3][4] In September 2022, he announced that he was going to release his third album in November and it would be titled Saturno.[5] On November 10, 2022, he revealed the album's track list, mentioning it being set for release the following day.[6] The album was released for digital download and streaming by Sony Music Latin and Duars Entertainment on the specified date, and "Qué Rico Ch**gamos" was included as the 10th track on the album.[7] On August 10, 2021, "Desenfocao'" was released to Latin American radio stations by Sony Music on March 2, 2023, as the first promotional single from the album.[8]
Music and lyrics
Musically, "Qué Rico Ch**gamos" is a reggaeton track that incorporates elements of electronica. SPIN described it as a "synth-driven" track.[9] Billboard described the track as a "mid-tempo techno-dancehall merger" featuring an "ascending synthesizer" that gives the illusion of skyrocketing into space within the first 15 seconds, with "thudding electro drums" and "sultry futuristic beats," labeling it the most "technosexual" track on the album.[10] Written by Alejandro and produced by himself and Kenobi,[11] the track runs for a total of four minutes and six seconds.[7]
Lyrically, "Qué Rico Ch**gamos", which translates to "How Nicely We F**ked" in English, explores themes of passion, desire, and sexual liberation. The song details two people who have parted ways but reunited only to continue where they left off: making love.[10] In the pre-chorus, Alejandro sings: "A mi la'o desnuda te tengo dormía' / Y me lo ha jura'o que no me lo creo / Ojalá comerte to' los día' / Sé que nos faltan por cumplir más deseo'." The chorus emphasizes the pleasure and satisfaction they experience: "Mira dónde estamos / Otra ve' en la cama terminamo' / Qué rico chingamos / Qué rico tú y yo chingamos." In the verses, Alejandro compares his lover to the Eiffel Tower and playfully refers to her as "caperucita de rojo" (Little Red Riding Hood), expressing his intention to satisfy her desires completely.[12]
Critical reception
"Que Rico Ch**gamos" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who often highlighted its production and its place within the futuristic concept of the parent album, Saturno. Critics frequently noted the track's electronic and synth-driven sound, with Spin describing it as a "dreamy, next-level sequel to 'Sexo Virtual'".[9] Contrast Magazine similarly noted it as a track that "highlights the meaning of the album's name".[13] Billboard highlighted the track as one of the essential tracks on Saturno, praising its "mid-tempo techno-dancehall merger" and "sultry futuristic beats," calling it the most "technosexual" track on the album.[10]
Promotion
Music video
The music video for "Qué Rico Ch**gamos" was released on March 2, 2023, directed by STILLZ, and marked Alejandro's first video shot in Tokyo, Japan.[14] The visual features Alejandro and his crew wearing face masks with his face printed on them, enjoying a night out in Tokyo — playing arcade games, drinking beers, taking pictures with anime characters, and eventually going home with them.[15] Los 40 noted that the video's concept — where Alejandro appears multiplied into five clones — might be an allegory for the effects of alcohol, as he "sees double" during the wild party night in Tokyo.[15]
