It’s no secret that Mexican music wasn’t very popular internationally a few years ago. However, that has changed dramatically in recent years with the rise of ‘corridos tumbados’ reaching audiences worldwide. This shift became clear when Peso Pluma and Eslabón Armado’s hit, «Ella Baila Sola,» took the global stage and pushed the genre into the mainstream, making it one of today’s most important musical trends.
Since then, we’ve seen international artists and those not usually associated with the genre joining in. We’ve also seen new talents starting their careers in Mexican music. One such talent is Xavi, the Mexican American artist who debuted and topped the global charts with his song «La Diabla.» He later released «La Víctima,» which was also a hit. But he didn’t stop there; his latest release is «OOTD.»
For GenZ, this probably doesn’t need explaining, but if you’re not familiar with the term, here’s a quick rundown. OOTD stands for ‘Outfit of the Day’ and is often used on Instagram and TikTok by influencers, celebrities, or anyone sharing fashion content. It’s a way to show off their daily outfits. In the song, Xavi mentions that ‘she’ has everyone captivated with her ‘Outfit of the Day.’
Before going to bed, she uploads a photo to Insta
So that fool can see it
And now she wants to go out because he was acting like a jerk
And now it’s his turn
Look at what you missed, now you’ll see
Today she’s wearing Cartier and Celine too
The outfit of the day
And she uploads a photo with her red lips
And she uploads a photo with her red lips
The girl looks good, but she ignores everyone
She’s got them all mesmerized, mesmerized
She’s very dangerous, makes them jealous
The envious ones, she’s a spoiled girl
She’s got them all mesmerized, mesmerized (-rized), -rized
With her OOTD, OOTD
