00:00I do have insomnia.
00:06I don't sleep.
00:07I don't sleep at all.
00:08I know I have to sleep, but it's just for some reason I just gotta, I gotta motor, I
00:12gotta keep going.
00:13I can't stop.
00:20Yeah, so at the beginning of the song, I'm addressing a lot of stuff with people have
00:24been saying about me drinking and going crazy and partying and stuff like that.
00:28And I just thought I'm gonna take advantage of it and just express it through my art.
00:33It's a very sad song, but the way the beat is, it's an upbeat sad song.
00:37And that's Nicky Jam.
00:38If you listen to El Perdón, El Perdón is a very sad song, talking about this guy that
00:44he lost his girl.
00:45His girl's getting married with somebody else.
00:47And that's the magic of my music.
00:58See, that's the thing.
01:04It starts with giving the people what they want to hear about the situation, but then
01:08it goes through a whole different story.
01:10You know what I'm saying?
01:11And that's the magic of the song.
01:12You're going to listen to the intro and you're going to be like, oh shit, he's talking about
01:15what everybody's talking about.
01:17But then I'm just going to take you to a different story.
01:20And then you're going to think, oh, well, that's the situation.
01:22Not necessarily.
01:23I'm going to give you a little bit.
01:24I can't give it all.
01:26If you see my series on Netflix, I've gave people too much.
01:31And a lot of people don't give shit.
01:44That line right there is really important because what it's saying is, now I'm drinking
01:48and smoking again and losing everything I worked so hard for.
01:53Lose yourself.
01:54Lose your mojo.
01:55Lose a lot of things in life.
01:57So what I try to do is just, I try to keep focused, but at the end of the day, I try
02:01to be real.
02:02I try to be myself.
02:03If I have to stop being myself to be an artist, I'd rather stop being an artist.
02:13El case is the hood.
02:14El caserio.
02:15That's the projects.
02:16You can say in Puerto Rico, we call them caserio.
02:18I'm going around looking for you at the projects where I met you.
02:26Todavía tengo en casa esos pantisitos Fenty.
02:29You can imagine me still looking at those panties like it's all I got from her.
02:32You know what I'm saying?
02:33Like shit.
02:34Got the panties though.
02:35And the funny thing is, I didn't really know about Rihanna's brand, I ain't going to lie.
02:39But my boy, Kenneth, he was with me when I was writing the lyrics and I was thinking
02:43about Fenty, but it's like Fenty don't have panties.
02:46And then my boy was like, yo Fenty.
02:47I'm like, Fenty?
02:48What's Fenty?
02:49And then I asked my stylist, like yo, what's up?
02:50What's Fenty?
02:51He's like, yo, yeah, Rihanna's, you know, she got some panties and shit.
02:53I'm like, okay, this is perfect.
02:56Y así fue, yo perdí todo por ti, yeah, y aún así salgo por ti, yeah, no quería
03:05que te fueras y sigo pensando en ti.
03:08Y así fue, yo perdí todo por ti, yeah, y aún así salgo por ti, yeah, no quería
03:16que te fueras, me toca el insomnio solo por ti.
03:22It's the best album I've done.
03:24One of the best albums that I've done.
03:25And most of the songs, it was a nighttime thing.
03:28I was looking for a name and I wanted a name that would catch the people.
03:33And I said, insomnio.
03:35And when we did the song, we was like, we have to put the word insomnio in this song
03:41so we can name the song Insomnio.
03:43That's going to be the name of the song, name of the album, name of the tour, Insomnio.
03:54Well, that's a way to say, I'm the one that makes love to you and make you go to sleep.
04:18So it's like, even if you were somebody else, I'm that man, I know I'm that man.
04:23And I'm just trying to get her back, because even if you that man, you still lose a girl.
04:27The song is about that.
04:28It's like being like, you know, come on, you know I'm that man.
04:30You know I'm the man that puts you to sleep.
04:31You know I'm the man that you need on that bed.
