About This Track

'Tiro' arrives as a propulsive reggaeton-inflected track built on a foundation of machine-like percussion and layered vocal chants. Arca strips back the experimental abstraction for which she is known, instead anchoring the song in the repetitive, hypnotic rhythms of Latin club music. The production, courtesy of Arca and Boyz Noize, locks into a relentless groove that prioritises momentum over texture, with voices cycling through Spanish-language calls and responses that invoke regional Venezuelan geography and a posture of unrestrained abandon. The track pulses with an almost trance-like quality, its energy sustained through repetition and accumulation rather than melodic development. Arca's approach here feels deliberate in its directness, a sharp turn toward the dancefloor that abandons subtlety in favour of pure kinetic force. 'Tiro' sits as a statement of intent within its album context, proof that her restless formal intelligence can operate just as effectively within the constraints of club convention as it does in her more fragmented experimental work.

"Tiro" is a track by Arca, from the album KICK ii, released 30th November 2021. The track is 2:19 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Arca.

Lyrics

Tiro

Do-dale, dale, da-do
Dale pollo con sazó'
Dale, mami, reggaetón, dale

¿Dónde están los gringo' y lo' güero' pa' que tiren su dinero?
Bom-bomba latina, máquina Guajira
De-desde Tucupita ha-hasta Yaracuy
Lara, Lara, miran a Miranda
Zulia Carabobo, bombo Bolívar, mira Tucupita
Yara-Yaracuy, Pu-Pu-Puya
Puya Guárico-co-co-co, Cojedes
Táchira Amazona-zona-zona'
Duro en el Delta Amacuro que Monagas está bien duro
Duro, duro, suave, sua-suavemente
Buscan delincuente, seis dedos de frente
Macho 4:20, saquen lo' mechero' (¡suavemente!)
Saquen lo' mechero' (-cher'...)

Tírame dinero
Pa' que lo me-

Tacones negros, falda beige
Dale fuego, mira, mírame
Tacones negros, falda beige
Dale fuego

Desquiciada, desquiciada
Desquiciada, desquiciada
Desquiciada, dale, desquicia'
Dale, desquicia'; dale, desquicia'

Chúpate esa pepa como mango bajito
Dale despacito, luego te aceleras
Rompe esa cadera, ay, qué gozadera
Hasta que choquen lo' hueso'

¿Dónde están los gringo' y los güero' pa' que tiren su dinero?
Bom-bomba latina, máquina Guajira
De-desde Tucupita ha-hasta Yaracuy
Lara, Lara, miran a Miranda
Zulia Carabobo, bombo Bolívar, mira Tucupita
Yara-Yaracuy, Puya
Puya Guárico-co-co-co, Cojedes
Táchira Amazona-zona-zona'
Duro en el Delta Amacuro que Monagas está bien duro
Suavemente, suavemente
Suavemente, seis dedos de frente

Desquiciada, desquiciada
Desquiciada, desquiciada
Desquiciada, dale, desquiciada
Dale, desquiciada

Tíralo, cárgalo
Tíralo, cárgalo
Tíralo, cárgalo
Tíralo, cárgalo
Tíralo, cárgalo
Tíralo, cárgalo
Tíralo, cárgalo
Tíralo, cárgalo
