The infectious reggaetón and afrobeat fusion, produced by Daramola, finds the Panamanian and Venezuelan artists going back-and-forth on their feelings for each other. “You have me on cloud nine/I haven’t landed yet,” chants Boza. “I also want to have you/Just give me a chance to assimilate,” Elena responds.
Named after the constellation that’s visible in the winter sky, “Orion” — which was also named one of Billboard’s Best Latin Songs of 2024 (so far) — flew 17-4 on the chart, taking the Greatest Gainer honor of the week that’s awarded weekly to the song with the most audience impressions among the chart’s 40-deep entries.

But tell me what’s the secret you’ve kept
That no one has found
And that has me in a daze
It’s that if you ask me to wait for you, I’ll wait for you sitting down
You have me on cloud nine
I haven’t landed yet
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
I want to take it slow, slow, slow, slow, slow
Because I don’t want to lie to you, no
Just give me chance, I ask
My heart is like Miami
Always under construction
I put myself first
That’s my only condition
And I don’t only want to
Have sex with you
I really like you
That’s why I want to confess to you
Oh, the life you came to
You kiss so well, you went over the top
I want to stick you to the wall
Like a work of art
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
I can be your safe space
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
I’ll become a pirate and steal your heart
And I’ll make love to you in Orion’s belt
There’s no way to fail such a woman
I assure you that you are my philosophy, and I am Plato
Understand that I am unique, therefore
The least expected surprises you
And that wounds heal and pain does not last forever
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
Oh, if you kiss me, I’ll deconfigure
If they hurt you, I’ll cure you
I want you for myself, I swear
You have me feeling weak with that B-U-T-T
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
I also want to have you
Just give me a chance to assimilate
That I fell a lot in the past
And I don’t want to hurt you with my wounds
