Bad Bunny and Karol G Perform 'Ahora Me Llama' Live — Meaning and English Lyrics

Bad Bunny continues his Debí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour, a tour that has already traveled across multiple cities and countries. Recently, it was Medellín, Colombia’s turn. There, Benito played three consecutive shows at the Atanasio Girardot Stadium, and during the final night, the crowd experienced one of those moments that instantly feels historic: Karol G made a surprise appearance on stage.

Together, they performed 'Ahora Me Llama,' a collaboration released in 2017 that marked a key turning point in both of their careers. At the time, Benito and La Bichota were already recognized names within the urban scene, but they were still building the path that would eventually turn them into two of the most influential figures in global Latin music.

In a 2023 interview with SiriusXM, Karol G shared how the collaboration originally came together. According to her, it was Bad Bunny who made the first move, sending her a song through producer DJ Luián. However, she felt they could create something even stronger as a duo. That’s when she presented 'Ahora Me Llama,' and the response was immediate.

What 'Ahora Me Llama' Is About?

The song is about taking control after a breakup and choosing yourself over going back to something that no longer works. The song flips the usual heartbreak narrative: instead of missing the past, it’s about setting boundaries and moving forward with confidence.

Both artists express independence and emotional detachment, making it clear that late-night calls and second chances are off the table. At its core, the song celebrates freedom, self-worth, and the moment when you realize you’re better off on your own—even if the other person suddenly wants you back.

'Ahora Me Llama' English Lyrics

[Intro: Karol G]


Now he’s calling me


Saying he misses me in his bed


Knowing that with me, that’s not happening anymore


Now I just wanna go out with my own squad

’Cause tonight is mine


And I’m gonna enjoy it without you

[Pre-Chorus: Karol G]


Now I just wanna live life day by day


At the end of the day, this life is mine, all mine


I left with a broken heart and I don’t want anything


Now I just want the best drinks and clothes flown in from Dubai

[Chorus: Karol G]


Call it whatever you want


Whatever you say doesn’t get to me

I just live life my way


Call me whatever you want


Whatever you say doesn’t get to me


I just live life my way

[Verse 1: Bad Bunny]


Baby, stop stalking me


Or I’ll block you on Instagram (Block, block)


You wanna get back with me, I don’t give a fuck


You already used up all your chances


And I’m not talking to you, no matter how many likes you give me


I don’t have four babies, I’ve got twenty-three like Mike

I’m way better off single (Single)


I hang out, drink, smoke, do whatever I want


Don’t talk to me about true love


I’ve got a Colombian girl and I give it to her all, yeah


And today I’m with my people


My squad, the ones I trust


Grown up, I never back down


Don’t mess with me, baby, get the hell out, yeah

[Chorus: Karol G]


Call it whatever you want


Whatever you say doesn’t get to me


I just live life my way


Call me whatever you want


Whatever you say doesn’t get to me


I just live life my way

[Verse 2: Karol G]


I love the lifestyle I’ve been living for a while now


I’m single, I do what I want, no one lifts my skirt


If before I was bad


Now here comes the new version — even badder


I keep building my name


Then I’ll see who I feel like bringing to my bed


Living for love?

I don’t need that anymore


I own my life, nobody tells me what to do
(I own my life, nobody tells me what to do)

[Bridge: Bad Bunny]


I’m way better off single (Single)


I hang out, drink, smoke, do whatever

I want
Don’t talk to me about true love


I’ve got a Colombian girl and I give it to her all, yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Karol G]


Now I just wanna live life day by day


At the end of the day, this life is mine, all mine


I left with a broken heart and I don’t want anything


Now I just want the best drinks and clothes flown in from Dubai

[Chorus: Karol G]


Call me whatever you want


Whatever you say doesn’t get to me


I just live life my way
