What does “Moscow Mule” by Bad Bunny mean? “Moscow Mule” is the opening track on Bad Bunny’salbum Un Verano Sin Ti. The Reggaeton-filled track details a drunken night where the singer wants to get intimate with someone he’s been getting to know. “We’re not a thing, but we’ve been entangled for a while, oh-oh / WhatsApp with no profile picture, you don’t save my number / But I pull it out” he sings in the Spanish lyrics translated through English. The title derives from the classic alcoholic drink of a Moscow Mule which contains vodka, lemon juice, ginger beer and a whole lemon, and is one of the cocktails that is most refreshing in the summer. The rest the song is written by Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio himself with help from Mick Coogan who also produced the track with MAG, Mick, Scott, La Paciencia.
In the music video directed by longtime collaborator Stillz, Bad Bunny hitchhikes completely naked until his future love interest picks him up. After he puts on some clothes on her truck, the two have fun dancing with each other and club throughout the night. During the last moments of the music video, Benito and his lover are revealed to be genital-less mermaids. Since its release, the video garnered 300 million views and the single went to number 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay Chart in July 2022.

[Verse 1]
Everything is underwater
Baby, let’s go for the fourth quarter
On the Urus ignoring the stop signs
I’ll give it hard to you so I’ll be beyond comparison
Ayy, careful with those jeans, ’cause they’ll rip (Ayy)
That booty will rip them (Ayy)
I don’t know if I’ll see you again
Or if I’ll get lost tomorrow
You’re a player, you gave me a crossover
This time you played me, you gave me a game over
Eh-eh, ’cause I can’t forget
That dancing of yours that went viral
Let me know if you’ll stay tomorrow
After the alarm goes off I’ll give it to you
Ayy, today you won’t go to work, he, no
[Chorus]
If you want, I’ll pull it out
Two drinks and you know I get horny
We’re not a thing, but we’ve been entangled for a while, oh-oh
WhatsApp with no profile picture, you don’t save my number
But I pull it out
Two drinks and you know I get horny
We’re not a thing, but we’ve been entangled for a while, oh-oh
WhatsApp with no profile picture, you don’t save my number
[Verse 2]
I like them like that, styled up
Mami, how delicious you look naked
Maybe you didn’t feel what I felt
But I still owe you a night in a suite
To give it to you rough, come on, mami, speak
You’re the devil, stop pretending
To give it to you rough, come on, mami, speak
You’re the devil, stop pretending
[Bridge]
No, no, no, no (No, no, no, no)
No, no, no, no (No, no, no, no)
No, no, no, no (No, no, no, no)
Ayy, I don’t know ’bout you, but I’d like to wake up naked
At a beach near Bali, or else, Cancun
Order another Moscow mule (Ayy)
[Verse 3]
‘Cause I’m high, high
Come and crash with me, fuck it
Baby, you’re a grown-up
But today I’m high
Come and crash with me, fuck it, eh
Fuck it, ayy
[Outro]
Mami, you want grinding (You want grinding)
You want grinding (You want grinding)
You want foreplay (You want foreplay)
You want foreplay (You want foreplay)
Mami, you want grinding (You want grinding)
You want grinding (You want grinding)
You want foreplay (You want foreplay)
You want foreplay (You want foreplay)
