DJ Snake and J Balvin Celebrate 90s Reggaetón Glory in ‘Noventa’: English Lyrics
The song blends reggaetón and dancehall, with a strong beat made for perreo
‘Noventa’ by DJ Snake and J Balvin is a playful, high-energy song that blends reggaetón with 90s nostalgia and strong beach-party vibes.
The title ‘Noventa’ (Ninety) and the repeated line “como en los noventa” (like in the ’90s) make it clear the song is a throwback to the golden era of Latin party music — loud, rhythmic, sensual, and carefree. It’s especially a nod to 90s reggae and reggaetón.
The lyrics invite people — especially women — to dance freely, wear bold outfits (like a G-string at the beach), and enjoy their bodies without shame. It’s playful and flirty, but not aggressive. J Balvin even uses lines like “If you cooked like you danced, I’d marry you,” to express admiration in a cheeky, fun way.

With calls like “come beachy-beachy pa’ que aprendan” (come party beach-style so they learn), the song encourages listeners to let go, dance, and show others how it’s done. It has the tone of a beach party anthem — loose, confident, and hot.
Its musical style blends reggaetón and dancehall, with a strong beat made for perreo (sensual Latin dancing). Throwback elements, both lyrical and musical, evoke the gritty, underground vibe of 90s Caribbean parties. Of course, it all comes with a modern twist, thanks to J Balvin’s signature smooth delivery and clever double meanings.
‘Noventa’ English Lyrics
[Intro]
This is for all my people
For the last time
Don’t stay quiet
A warning from your ear surgeon
What you’re about to hear
Is un-der-ground
[Verse 1]
If you don’t like reggae, then hop in here
And come to the beach, but wear a G-string
So it hits you now
Reggae — then hop in here
And come to the beach, but wear a G-string
So it hits you now
[Chorus]
Come beachy-beachy, so they learn, homie x4
[Verse 2:]
Anyone who says I don’t kill it — hold that for me (Hey)
Go ahead, come on (Eh), if you want it, take it
Stacked one on top of another like Jenga
Today, you’re with a legend (Oh)
Throw down some moves (Uh-huh), slowly, hey
What did you put in that glass? (What?)
Because you’re dancing in a way
That if you cooked like that, I swear I’d marry you
[Chorus: J Balvin]
Like in the ’90s (Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta)
So you learn (Da-da-da-da)
Like in the ’90s (Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta)
So you light it up, light it up
Like in the ’90s
Like in the ’90s (Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta)
So you learn (Da-da-da-da)
Like in the ’90s (Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta)
So you light it up, light it up, light it up
[Chorus]
Come beachy-beachy, so they learn, homie x4
[Verse 3]
If you’re freaky, cuff me, take my arm
Don’t worry — you lead, and I’ll follow (Uh, uh)
I brought this kind of perreo ’cause it was missing (Missing, missing)
And that big booty dances like Los 14 Cañonazos
[Pre-Chorus]
Come beachy-beachy, so they learn
