‘EN LA CITY’ marks the first collaboration between Trueno and Young Miko. The track is all about owning the night, standing out in the club scene, and embracing success with confidence and style. The lyrics carry a bold energy, highlighting luxury, street credibility, and an unapologetic attitude.

“En la city all the night” and “ring-ring all the line”—paints a picture of a city that never sleeps, with constant attention and late-night calls from admirers. Both artists reference designer brands, streaming stats, open bars, and custom outfits, showing just how far they’ve come.

Trueno proudly represents Argentine rap, while Miko brings her signature Puerto Rican edge. Together, they present themselves as global voices—confident, unshaken by critics, and ready to dominate. Young Miko, in particular, leans into themes of female empowerment, reminding listeners that you don’t need permission to take up space, dance, or be yourself.

More than just a party anthem, ‘EN LA CITY’ is a celebration of self-assurance, cultural pride, and Latin music’s growing global influence.

‘EN LA CITY’ English Lyrics

[Trueno]

In the city all the night
Now she calls me and it’s ring-ring on the line, yeah
In the city all the night
Now she calls me and it’s ring-ring on the line, yeah
Droppin’ low every time the beat hits, hits, hits

[Verse 1: Trueno]

Girl, we don’t go in circles over here (No, no)
It’s an open bar, everyone’s on my tab
Turn up the volume, let the music blow up—ha
I’m cruisin’ in retro wheels, walkin’ like it’s the ‘70s
We’re going full out, they know who’s reppin’
Argentine rap in bold print
Shutting down the ones who make stuff up
Sounding more global than you—without even having to show up in—

Come, come, baby girl, come, come
Now take this—this is what only few get to see
Chiki-chiri, bang, bang—I’m not what they sell
Everything I drop’s a hit, and I don’t got money on my mind
(And at 3) I’m out with my homies on my side
We’re chillin’, man, come down to the hood, don’t cry
I’m your boss’s boss’s reference—I’m that type, ah yeah
Droppin’ low every time the vibe hits, yes yes

[Chorus: Trueno]

In the city all the night (All the night)
Now she calls me and it’s ring-ring on the line (On the line)
Droppin’ low every time the vibe hits, yes yes (Yeah)
In the city all the night (Yeah)
Now she calls me and it’s ring-ring on the line (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Young Miko]

Hey, testing, one, two—tonight I want a baby boo
Is it you? Tell me, what you wanna do
I’m in the club like 50, rocks want the whiskey
One good girl and one freaky
The style is funky, hey
In love with Swarovski bling-bling (Nah)
Tiffany rings—don’t mess up the outfit
Millions in streams, millions on TikTok
Lit with the watch on my wrist
Careful, don’t get soaked by the outfit
Tonight, it’s raining $50 bills (Prr)
Trueno and Miko—that’s a full-blown storm

[Bridge: Young Miko & Trueno]

In the club, everybody to the floor, hey
To the floor, to the floor
To drop it low, you don’t need permission, nah
You don’t need permission
So my crew—everybody to the floor
Ha, yeah, to the floor
To drop it low, you don’t need permission
Girl, you don’t need permission, hey

[Chorus: Young Miko & Trueno]

In the city all the night (All the night)
Now she calls me and it’s ring-ring on the line (On the line, uh-uh)
In the city all the night (All the night)
Now she calls me and it’s ring-ring on the line (On the line)
In the city all the night (All the night)
Now she calls me and it’s ring-ring on the line (On the line)
Droppin’ low every time the vibe hits, yes, yes (Yeah)
In the city all the night (All the night)
Now she calls me and it’s ring-ring on the line (On the line)
Droppin’ low every time it hits, hits, hits—yes, yes

[Outro: Trueno]

Jojo, yeah
It’s Trueno, man
With Young Miko
From Argentina to Puerto Rico, haha
Prr, prr, prr
In the city all the night
Let’s go.
