Gaste 100 (feat. Jon Z y Lalo Ebratt)

C.R.O's song 'Gaste 100,' featuring Jon Z and Lalo Ebratt, is a vivid portrayal of a life steeped in luxury, excess, and hedonism. The lyrics revolve around the theme of spending large sums of money—'Gasté 100 mil' translates to 'I spent 100 thousand'—on various indulgences such as drugs, alcohol, and lavish lifestyles. The repeated emphasis on spending highlights a sense of carefree extravagance and a desire to live in the moment without concern for consequences.

The song's imagery is rich with references to high-end living and the pursuit of pleasure. Lines like 'En las nubes siempre en alta high como un jet' (Always in the clouds, always high like a jet) and 'En la cama ya no tiene remedio' (In bed, there's no remedy) suggest a constant state of euphoria and indulgence. The use of metaphors such as comparing concentration in bed to the focus provided by Adderall ('me concentro como un Aderal') adds a layer of intensity to the experiences described.

Culturally, 'Gaste 100' taps into the global fascination with wealth and the high life, often glorified in music and media. The collaboration between artists from different Latin American countries—Colombia, Puerto Rico, and Argentina—also reflects the song's broad appeal and the shared cultural context of opulence and escapism. The song's upbeat tempo and catchy chorus make it a party anthem, celebrating the thrill of living large and the temporary escape it provides from everyday life.

The song's narrative is not just about material wealth but also about the fleeting nature of these experiences. The mention of a woman who 'se va, como fantasma desaparece' (leaves like a ghost and disappears) hints at the transient relationships and moments that come with such a lifestyle. This adds a bittersweet undertone to the otherwise celebratory mood, reminding listeners of the impermanence of pleasure and the constant search for the next high.
