When it comes to hits, «GATA ONLY» is undoubtedly one of the top successes of 2024. The explosive collaboration between emerging Chilean artists FloyyMenor and Cris MJ (the latter has also gained international popularity for his song with Karol G, «Una Noche en Medellín») has been dominating the charts, landing in interesting positions, such as within the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100.

A catchy song that undoubtedly demonstrates how far one can go through viralization on social media platforms like TikTok, as has already happened to Young Miko with «Lisa» or to Xavi with «La Diabla.»

«GATA ONLY» Meaning

The meaning of «GATA ONLY» is a recurring theme in reggaeton songs. FloyyMenor and Cris MJ sing to their crush, a «gata» (the Spanish word for «cat,» commonly referring to women in the urban genre). Here, the term «GATA ONLY» seems to imply that the girl they are singing to is unique, that they want to be with her, and preferably tonight.

«GATA ONLY» Lyrics in English

[Intro]

Shorty, get ready for me, ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah

[Chorus]

Mami, I feel you far away, tell me where you are (Ah-ah)
I want to hook up with you, I’m going to snatch you away (Ah-ah)
Let yourself go and turn off your phone
Because if you’re with me, nothing will happen to you
Just let yourself go
Baby, pay attention to the play
If I want you and you want me (Oh)
Tell me if it’s going to happen (Brr)

[Verse 1]

Ba-ba-baby, come on, get ready for me, follow me
You are, like, for me and I’m for you
Cat, you’re the only one, send me your location
Move your cheeks to the rhythm of TikTok
With me, that cat escaped (Oh-oh)
And nobody noticed at her house
That she spent a hell of a night with me
Ga-ga-cat, put your phone on airplane mode
You’re my crazy and I’m your locotrón (wild one)
You’re getting ready for me and I’m all in for you

Because if you’re with me, nothing will happen to you
Just let yourself go
Baby, pay attention to the play
If I want you and you want me (Oh)
Tell me if it’s going to happen

[Verse 2]

S-s-so climb up, get activated
Get ready because I want to see you
I’ll come pick you up, make you my woman
Make you my woman, make you my woman
Tonight, we’ll have a good time
They don’t want to see you with me (Ah-ah)
Tell me what you want to do (Ah-ah)
Cat, I’m going to break you
Tonight, we’ll have a good time
They don’t want to see you with me (Ah-ah)
Tell me what you want to do
(Cat, I’m going to break you)

[Outro]

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Later, let’s go to the afterparty, brr
Hey, hey, you know who we are
FloyyMenor
And on the controls BigCvyu, give me light, pu-pu-pu
Pu-pu-pu, brr
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
