POR ATRÁS Lyrics Meaning

[Estribillo]
In the chorus, the singer talks about the disapproval from his lover’s parents, who don’t want to hear his name. He encourages the girl not to lie to them, telling them the truth, despite the anger and tension it might cause. The main idea is that even though her parents might be upset, he plans to sneak into her house when they’re asleep, coming in “through the back door.” This is a metaphor for defying singerity and sneaking around to be together. The line about “clic-clac” refers to having a gun in hand, suggesting he’s prepared for anything, perhaps even danger or confrontation. The overall vibe is rebellious and daring, with the singer willing to take risks for love despite the consequences.

[Verso 1]
In the first verse, the singer talks about his relationship with a girl from a lower-class neighborhood. He describes her as a “popi” (a stylish girl) from “Pobla,” which might refer to a specific area, hinting at their different social backgrounds. He mentions that it’s not his birthday, but he still wants her to make a wish and hints at fulfilling it. The singer talks about taking control of the situation, saying she sets the rules but he dominates in other ways. He also implies he’s willing to sneak around, saying if her parents don’t want him around, he’ll still make sure to be with her, even suggesting he could do it in his car (“troca”). There’s also a mention of her father disapproving of him, comparing their relationship to another where the father dislikes him. The verse ends with him saying he’ll keep pushing harder because of the tension.

[Estribillo]
The chorus repeats the theme of the parents’ disapproval, with the singer telling the girl not to lie about him. Even if her parents get upset, he’s determined to sneak in when they’re asleep, coming in “through the back door.” The mention of the “clic-clac” again signals his readiness for anything, adding a sense of danger and boldness to the idea of sneaking around to be with her.

[Verso 2]
In the second verse, the singer suggests that if he can’t physically be with her, he’s willing to settle for “phone s*x.” He also refers to an ironic situation where the girl’s mother met her father while they were partying and dancing, hinting at a past that doesn’t fit the parents’ current image. The singer believes she enjoys his bold, rebellious nature and that she likes being spoken to in a rough way. He describes intimate moments with her, such as her reflection on the ceiling and the mess her hair makes, which adds a raw, passionate feeling to their relationship. There’s tension when he hears keys, possibly fearing her parents are coming, but he’s satisfied regardless of how things end. He admits he doesn’t know how to behave but is driven by physical attraction, and despite the chaos, he feels connected to her on a deeper level.

[Estribillo]
The chorus repeats, emphasizing the rebellious love the singer has for the girl. Despite her parents’ disapproval, he wants her to tell the truth and not lie. He plans to sneak in when they’re asleep, taking risks to be with her, and once again mentions having the “clic-clac” in hand, showing he’s ready for anything. The chorus reinforces the thrill of defying singerity and sneaking around for love.
