Te Dije Que No

Chocolate Remix's song 'Te Dije Que No' is a powerful declaration of female empowerment and resistance against harassment. The lyrics vividly depict a night out where the protagonist is repeatedly harassed by a man who refuses to take 'no' for an answer. The song's narrative is a bold and unapologetic response to this unwanted attention, emphasizing the importance of respecting boundaries and the consequences of ignoring them.

The song opens with the protagonist enjoying a night out with friends, only to be interrupted by a persistent man. Despite her clear rejection, he continues to pursue her, leading to a confrontation. The lyrics 'Le parto una botella en la cara' (I break a bottle on his face) and 'Bom bom! Le suena el mentón' (Boom boom! His chin rings) illustrate her fierce response to his aggression. This act of defiance is not just physical but also verbal, as she proudly reclaims derogatory terms hurled at her, turning them into badges of honor.

Cultural references and metaphors are woven throughout the song, such as 'la caperucita que se come al lobo' (the little red riding hood who eats the wolf), symbolizing the reversal of traditional power dynamics. The song also touches on themes of feminism and the struggle against sexism, with lines like 'Sabes que soy una feminista' (You know I'm a feminist) and 'Sabes muy bien que sos un forro sexista' (You know very well that you're a sexist jerk). The repeated refrain 'No entendiste que no' (You didn't understand that no means no) underscores the central message of the song: the necessity of consent and the right to personal autonomy.

'Chocolate Remix' is known for their provocative and socially conscious lyrics, often addressing issues of gender and sexuality within the reggaeton genre. 'Te Dije Que No' is a testament to their commitment to challenging societal norms and advocating for women's rights. The song's raw energy and unapologetic stance make it a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever had to fight to be heard and respected.
