00:00It's something like this, man, I'm going to hit you, because it may be that with my ass I hit you,
00:07I'm going to hit you, without getting out of the block, they don't want me for you, they don't have with what,
00:13I'm going to hit you.
00:15It's like they say, bitch, to the hardness of a poster or something, to the hardness of the business,
00:21of the business, to say something, of the drugs, in quotation marks.
00:25But when I heard the word bichota and bichota and bichota and bichota,
00:29it sounded to me like a word with so much criteria, with so much personality, with so much strength,
00:33that I wanted to put it to the song and suddenly change that negative connotation in the country,
00:39change it to something positive.
00:41So a bichota from my song, not from the original word as it is from my song,
00:46a bichota is a woman convinced of who she is, a woman sure of herself,
00:51a woman who is ready for whatever comes bad or good, she is ready to turn it around,
00:56she is ready to continue, she is a super bichota, you know?
00:59I was at home, sitting in bed, watching all my old interviews,
01:03seeing everything, where we had started and where we were going,
01:06and it was like I felt so empowered, so in love with myself,
01:10so proud that I said, wow, sometimes you don't stop to see it, to think about it,
01:15and everything that has happened, and I went to the studio and said,
01:18I want to make a song that is called bichota, and that is like that, with a lot of power,
01:23that is tatata, and that when people hear it, they feel that way.
01:31It's a double-meaning phrase, I have to be honest, it's a double-meaning phrase,
01:35but the main meaning of that phrase is, everyone, everyone,
01:40everyone always wants to destroy you, everyone wants to turn you off,
01:44everyone wants, but they don't have anything to do with it, you know?
01:47Because if you are sure of what you are, you don't have anything to do with it.
01:50Obviously, in a way, it's like, everyone wants to be with me, but they don't get it,
01:54they won't achieve it, but in reality, it's the most powerful of the two ways you can see it,
01:59it's the fact that everyone wants to hurt you, but they won't be able to with you.
02:03Hello baby, do you want a party, a comment, and out of place,
02:08and we're going to break you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
02:12More than a rivalry and that competition, it's like we're all pushing for the genre to grow,
02:18I mean, if we're all doing well, it's starting to build that empire of,
02:23they're no longer men or women, but here everyone competes,
02:26it's with music, with art, with talent, with other things,
02:29it's not if you're a man or if you're a woman,
02:31that need to help strengthen this genre that has so much talent,
02:36that has so many people, because it's not that there aren't many,
02:38it's just that maybe the opportunity to expose them is not so present,
02:42so if I get to a point in my life where it became like a mission,
02:46that in a way, what can push here for the genre to grow, I'm 100% in.
03:00So it's already the jipeta, the shorties are like the girls,
03:04I mean, a shorty is a girl, so the shorties are the girls,
03:07so what I'm doing in that bar is like a little bit of a front,
03:11front is like, I have my jipeta, mine, and I'm with all my girls,
03:16I mean, I'm not even with a boy, I'm with my girls in my car,
03:20and it's super crazy because there are also men who,
03:22when they listen to the song, they feel super hot,
03:24so that's good, I loved it.
03:34The expression, I don't fight, is like, I don't worry about that,
03:39I don't spend my time giving my head or my mind to that,
03:42even if other people throw me, I'm real, I'm mine,
03:45I'm not paying attention.
03:47Since the song has so much strength and has so much criteria,
03:51it was like saying to the one who brags about me,
03:54from where I am, you don't listen,
03:56to the one who throws hate at me, from where I am, you don't listen,
04:00I mean, I can't listen to you, I don't copy you.
04:21That there is that need, a necessary moment to say,
04:25no, yes, I can too, and we have a good time alone,
04:29and we go crazy alone, so don't bother around here,
04:34because no one owns my life and my actions.
04:38I, as I saw the industry before, where there were not many women,
04:42today I see it where there are many women, with many styles,
04:45with super different proposals, super committed, super strong,
04:49so I feel very proud of the moment,
04:52that we have finally seen this moment, which is actually deserved.
04:56Each one, from where we are, from the different professions,
04:59fighting for a position that should not be fought for,
05:03that should be as if it is deserved, that it has it.
05:06So now it seems super brutal to me,
05:08to be experiencing this moment of industry where we are already welcome.
