Arranca

The song 'Arranca' by 3 Dueños is a bold and defiant anthem directed at critics and naysayers. The lyrics are a direct call-out to those who attend their performances not to enjoy the music but to criticize and disrupt. The repeated refrain, 'Si tu quieres criticar no vinistes a bailar, tu lo que viniste a fantasmear ...arranca!' (If you want to criticize, you didn't come to dance, you came to haunt ... get out!), sets the tone for the entire song, emphasizing the artists' disdain for negativity and insincerity.

The verses delve deeper into the artists' frustrations with hypocrisy and false pretenses. They highlight the contrast between their genuine passion for music and the superficiality of their detractors. Lines like 'Están en mi, detrás de mi, I can't believe, hipocresy' (They are in me, behind me, I can't believe, hypocrisy) and 'quieren surgir y destruir, siempre fingir' (they want to rise and destroy, always pretending) underscore the artists' awareness of the envy and deceit surrounding them. The use of both Spanish and English in the lyrics adds a dynamic layer to the song, reflecting the artists' versatility and cultural influences.

3 Dueños also assert their dominance and confidence in their craft throughout the song. They describe themselves as 'el chef con mas cache' (the chef with the most flair) and 'el dj's respétame como a pele' (the DJ, respect me like Pelé), drawing parallels between their musical prowess and the mastery of renowned figures. This self-assuredness is a recurring theme, as they repeatedly challenge their critics to either appreciate their talent or leave. The song's energetic and confrontational tone, combined with its catchy chorus, makes 'Arranca' a powerful statement of resilience and self-belief.
