00:00Floyd Menor comes from Floyd Mayweather,
00:02who I like a lot, boxing.
00:04So I made Floyd Menor,
00:06because at the time I chose my name,
00:08I was little.
00:09And from Floyd Menor, I can tell you that he is a versatile artist,
00:13who can do mariachi, reggaeton.
00:15It's not like he's just in a single musical movement.
00:20♪♪
00:50♪♪
01:21♪♪
01:29In Chile, it's like I'm doing some things,
01:33but the woman has to be attentive to my movements,
01:36so that when I go to get her, she escapes with me.
01:39That's how Tata Tenta La Juga is.
01:41♪♪
01:46The song Cataholic was always inspired by real events,
01:49with my partner.
01:51So,
01:52Dime Si Se Da is like when we were just getting to know each other,
01:55and if she wanted to be with me and I wanted to be with her,
01:58it was like for it to happen.
01:59And we ended up together.
02:02♪♪
02:10I put English in it,
02:11because I've liked English since I was little.
02:13So those words are not so difficult to pronounce.
02:16And I always looked in the translator,
02:19what this meant.
02:21If the flow of the song appeared, I put it.
02:24♪♪
02:37I also put those lyrics for my songs,
02:40because they were stuck in TikTok.
02:42The woman can listen to my songs,
02:44and she can move her butt to the rhythm of TikTok songs.
02:47♪♪
02:57Tu Mi Loca, Yo Tu Locotron is like she's my crazy girl,
03:00and I'm her crazy guy, which is like crazy.
03:02So we're like a couple,
03:04like having fun, like going everywhere,
03:08like we're both crazy, and we're both connected.
03:10That's why I put that part.
03:11That word, Locotron, came out in Chile.
03:14There are some songs that have Locotron or Locotrona.
03:18So it feels good,
03:20like other countries are starting to get to know Chile,
03:23their slang, and they're learning about the culture.
03:27So it's like El Po, El Toa.
03:30El Toa is like everything,
03:31just that you take the E out of it, and it's Toa.
03:35-♪ Otra noche dándote, dándote ♪
03:39♪ Tocándote, calentándome, encima viñándote ♪
03:43♪ Al oído gimmeándome ♪
03:45La parte de,
03:46♪ Otra noche dándote, tocándote ♪
03:49Esa fue como mi parte favorita también del chanteo,
03:53porque ese chanteo lo hicimos yo y el Chris.
03:55Entonces él la repitió en un verso de él,
03:57y yo la repetí en un verso mío.
03:59Yo con Chris Majota, después de sacar la canción,
04:01nos hicimos así como más que colegas de música,
04:04nos hicimos como hermanos.
04:05Entonces salimos juntos, vamos a comer juntos,
04:08pasamos casi siempre en el estudio,
04:11grabamos, salimos,
04:12y hacemos muchos hits así, que todavía no han salido.
04:18O sea, siempre me pasa así como
04:19cuando hay gente que escucha mis canciones,
04:21y yo paso por al lado y como que,
04:23como que no se dan cuenta, así no hay a mil.
04:25En las tiendas, cuando estoy comprando mi ropa,
04:28así como que la vendedora está justo
04:29escuchando mi canción y como que me está atendiendo,
04:32y como que no se dan cuenta que soy yo así.
