Dicen que soy mamón, también que soy culero
No les pongo atención y muy poco les creo
No sufro de conciencia, yo cuido mi cuero
Se me activa el instinto con un buen veneno
Pendiente al celular y también de los medio’
Pa’ que no haya problemas por estos terrenos
Ando bien protegido desde allá del cielo
Te adelantaste hermano, luego nos veremos
Nomás me quedan los que aquí traigo colgando
Son pocas amistades a mi lado
Me cuidan los collares que traigo en el pecho
Alejan las envidias y a los traicioneros
Y aquí sigo por el camino
Casi siempre me ven tranquilo
Cumpliendo mi objetivo, pienso positivo
Siempre con un gallo me verán activo
Para trabajar me pinto
Los billetes no caen solitos
Moviendo esos paquetes llenos de cuadritos
Verdes dolaritos, puros Benjamines me hacen generar
Ahí me vieron pasar en un Rubicón
Suman los Cryptos y bajo control
Nos mantenemos a la orden del señor
Con un gallo me relajo yo
Allá en las dunas, siempre tranquilón
Compa, ando torcido, ya me pegó el blunt
En la orilla del mar me verán
Con hierbita pa’ desestresar
Siempre a la orden y aquí voy a estar
Y para qué voy a hablar de más
Por “El Chapillo” me han de apodar
La bandera es internacional
Efectivo para trabajar
En el equipo piñas y también SCAR
Y pa’ los que quieran afectar
Creo en mis santos y en el Elegua
Y hablando de antes, no voy a volver atrás
Hacer billetes es la prioridad
Y aquí sigo por el camino
Casi siempre me ven tranquilo
Cumpliendo mi objetivo, pienso positivo
Siempre con un gallo me verán activo
Para trabajar me pinto
Los billetes no caen solitos
Moviendo esos paquetes llenos de cuadritos
Verdes dolaritos, puros Benjamines me hacen generar

Tate McRae went big for her 2023 Billboard Music Awards debut, taking over the Moxy Hotel Downtown Los Angeles for a performance of “greedy,” her highest-charting Billboard Hot 100 hit yet.
McRae put her formidable choreo skills to work for the high-energy performance, starting with a sultry shot from outside the window of the Moxy and then moving to her strutting through a garage in a gray power suit surrounded by a troupe of male dancers. She ditches her blazer to reveal a sequined crop top with matching sequined briefs sticking out from her low-slung pants.
Next, she walks through a hallway onto the Moxy rooftop, where she’s joined by a crowd of fans who line either side of a spot-lit runway as McRae powers through an intricate dance routine. She ends the performance with a wind machine turning her hair into a flowing mane as she plays air guitar to the song’s wailing solo.
The powerhouse performance was choreographed by Sean Bankhead, who also dance-directed McRae’s Saturday Night Live debut performance the night before. Her dance skills are obvious, and fans might remember that McRae competed on the 2016 season of So You Think You Can Dance as a teen, finishing third.
“Greedy” leaps from No. 22 to No. 11 on the current Hot 100. It is her second top 20 hit, following “You Broke Me First,” which reached No. 17 in March 2021. In addition to her debut BBMA performance, McRae also makes her debut on Billboard‘s cover this week.
The 2023 Billboard Music Awards are presented by Marriott Bonvoy, Marriott’s award-winning travel program and marketplace. McRae’s performance was filmed at the Moxy Hotel Downtown Los Angeles, a part of the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio of hotel brands. A select group of Marriott Bonvoy Members got to experience McRae’s performance first-hand by redeeming their points for access via Marriott Bonvoy Moment, Marriott Bonvoy’s experiences platform. Additionally, two exclusive acceptance speeches were hosted at extraordinary hotel brands within the Marriott Bonvoy portfolio.
Performances and awards for the 2023 Billboard Music Awards are still rolling out tonight on BBMAs.watch and across BBMA and Billboard social channels.

With just a year since the girl group’s formal debut, NewJeans has made waves across the K-pop industry, social media and on the Billboard charts. And on Sunday (Nov. 19), the quintet — which consists of members Danielle, Haerin, Hyein, Hanni and Minji — performed their viral hits “Super Shy” and “OMG” at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards.
The performance kicked off with the girls dressed in stylish schoolgirl ensembles, dancing in solo booths to electronic music. NewJeans then stepped onto the stage with a fleet of backup dancers to perform “Super Shy” and its viral choreography, hitting every step flawlessly as the Bunnies (their fans) in the audience sang the official fan chant at the appropriate times during the track.
After the song, the quintet did a quick change into new outfits for “OMG,” which consisted of oversized snow boots, oversized angel-themed sweaters, skirts and printed beanies for the dreamy set, with white grid walls and cloudlike figures around them. The track’s instrumental received a funky remix, and saw the girls dancing in unison for the feel-good dance moves, taking small moments during the showcase to wave at the Bunnies in the crowd.
NewJeans topped off the evening by winning the new top global K-pop artist award, beating out Stray Kids, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, TWICE and Jimin of BTS.
“Thank you so much for giving us the top global K-pop artist award,” Hyein started off the speech. Hanni continued, “We have been nominated in this category alongside such incredible artists we look up to. It’s an honor in itself. We are so grateful for this opportunity to perform at the Billboard Music Awards.”
Minji also stated the importance of the honor and noted that it will serve as “a reminder to us of all the love and support we receive from our fans Bunnies.”
Danielle extended grace to NewJeans’ company for putting the group on their journey, as well as a few special others within their circle. “We would like to thank our company ADOR, our family and everyone who has helped us behind the scenes, especially our producer Min Hee Jin,” she said, with Haerin adding a sweet shoutout to the Bunnies. “Words cannot convey how grateful we are, but we hope that one day we can bring you as much happiness as you’ve given us.”

NewJeans’ performance comes months after the group scored its first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 with Get Up, released in July. “Super Shy” peaked at No. 48 on the Billboard Hot 100, while “ETA” and “Cool With You” — also from the EP — peaked at Nos. 81 and 93 respectively. Though not on the EP, “OMG” arrived in January and reached No. 74.

Hi, we’re NewJeans!
Thank you so much for giving us the Top Global K-Pop Artist award!
To have been nominated in this category alongside such incredible artists we all look up to is an honor in itself and we are so grateful for this opportunity to perform at the Billboard Music Awards.
This award will be a reminder to us for all the love and support we’ve received. For our fans, Bunnies, we’ll try our hardest every day to make it up to our fans.
First and foremost, we would like to thank our company, ADOR, our family and everyone who has helped us behind the scenes, especially our producer Hee-jin Min.
Thanks to him we were able to work in an atmosphere where we can really enjoy and express ourselves through our music and work. Thank you so much!
Also, thank you to our members! They’re always looking out for one another, inspiring, helping, believing but above all forming this unbreakable friendship which without we would not be NewJeans.
And last but not least, our Bunnies, words cannot convey how grateful we are and we hope that someday we can bring you as much happiness as you’ve given us.
We strive to become an artist who creates music that everyone is able to enjoy. Thank you again to Billboard Music Awards and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your night!

NewJeans’ “Super Shy”
I’m super shy, super shy
But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine
떨리는 지금도 you’re on my mind all the time
I wanna tell you but I’m super shy, super shy
I’m super shy, super shy
But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine
떨리는 지금도 you’re on my mind all the time
I wanna tell you but I’m super shy, super shy
And I wanna go out with you
Where you wanna go? (Huh?)
Find a lil spot, just sit and talk
Looking pretty, follow me
우리 둘이 나란히
보이지? (봐) 내 눈이 (ha) 갑자기 빛나지
When you say I’m your dream (ha)
You don’t even know my name
Do ya?
You don’t even know my name
Do ya?
누구보다도
I’m super shy, supеr shy
But wait a minute while I make you minе, make you mine
떨리는 지금도 you’re on my mind all the time
I wanna tell you but I’m super shy, super shy
I’m super shy, super shy
But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine
떨리는 지금도 you’re on my mind all the time
I wanna tell you but I’m super shy, super shy
나 원래 말도 잘하고 그런데 왜 이런지
I don’t like that
Something odd about you
Yeah, you’re special and you know it
You’re the top, babe
I’m super shy, super shy
But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine
떨리는 지금도 you’re on my mind all the time
I wanna tell you but I’m super shy, super shy
I’m super shy, super shy
But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine
떨리는 지금도 you’re on my mind all the time
I wanna tell you but I’m super shy, super shy

NewJeans’ “OMG”
이 노래는 it’s about you, baby
Only you
You, you, you
You, you, you, you
내가 힘들 때, 울 것 같을 때
기운도 이젠 나지 않을 때
It’s you 날 걱정하네
It’s you 날 웃게하네
말 안 해도 돼
Boy, what do you say?
(They keep on asking me, “Who is he?”)
멀리든 언제든지 달려와
(They keep on asking me, “Who is he?”)
바쁜 척도 없이 넌 나타나
(They keep on asking me, “Who is he?”)
이게 말이 되니? 난 물어봐
(They keep on asking me, “Who is he?”)
너는 말야
He’s the one that’s living in my system, baby
Oh my, oh my God 예상했어 나
I was really hoping that he will come through
Oh my, oh my God 단 너뿐이야
Asking all the time about what I should do
No, I can never let him go
너만 생각나 twenty-four
난 행운아야 정말로 I know, I know
널 알기 전까지는 나 의미 없었어 전부 다
내 맘이 끝이 없는 걸 I know, I know
I’m going crazy, right?
어디서든, 몇 번이든
There ain’t nothing else that I would hold on to
I hear his voice through all the noise
잠시라도 내 손 놓지 마 no, no
걱정 없잖아 ’cause I got someone
혼자라도 괜찮아 ’cause I love someone
(They keep on asking me, “Who is he?”)
멀리든 언제든지 달려와
(They keep on asking me, “Who is he?”)
바쁜 척도 없이 넌 나타나
(They keep on asking me, “Who is he?”)
이게 말이 되니? 난 물어봐
(They keep on asking me, “Who is he?”)
너는 말야
He’s the one that’s living in my system, baby
Oh my, oh my God 예상했어 나
I was really hoping that he will come through
Oh my, oh my God 단 너뿐이야
Asking all the time about what I should do
No, I can never let him go
너만 생각나 twenty-four
난 행운아야 정말로 I know, I know
널 알기 전까지는 나 의미 없었어 전부 다
내 맘이 끝이 없는 걸 I know, I know
He’s the one that’s living in my system, baby
Baby
Baby
Babe, baby
I’m going crazy, right?
Baby
Baby, I’m going crazy, right?
Babe, baby
너와 나
My heart is glowing, it’s glowing up (glow, glow)
너랑만 있으면 무서울 게 없어 (no, no)
가득 메워진, 다 메워진 (붉어진)
My heart is glowing, it’d be glowing
‘Cause he
Oh my, oh my God 예상했어 나
I was really hoping that he will come through
Oh my, oh my God 단 너뿐이야
Asking all the time about what I should do (너와 나)
No, I can never let him go
He’s right there for me twenty-four
난 행운아야 정말로 I know, I know (너와 나)
널 알기 전까지는 나 의미 없었어 전부 다
어떡해?
My heart is glowing, it’s glowing
My heart is glowing up
So I can’t sleep at night

Fuerza Regida talks about winning the Billboard Music Awards for top duo/group, top Latin duo/group Award, finding inspiration while traveling, being pioneers in their genre and more! The 2023 Billboard Music Awards are presented by Marriott Bonvoy.
How does it feel to win two Billboard Music Awards?
Fuerza Regida:
To win two of these bad boys, Billboard Music Awards, feels like a great accomplishment because it’s the Mexican music breaking the barriers. Feels amazing, feels great.
How does it feel being pioneers in your genre?
Fuerza Regida:
Being pioneers in this genre feels, I feel like we’re honored because we’re part of creating this history, being the first generation of Mexican music, to break the barriers and go global. We feel honored.
What is your favorite place to perform?
Fuerza Regida:
Our favorite place to perform — being in front of someone that knows the song, yelling is a good sound. That’s the favorite place for me.
How does traveling inspire your music?
Fuerza Regida:
Traveling all over the U.S. and Mexico inspires our music in a lot of ways because we go to different cultures and write about different stuff we see, you know. I just feel like the more you travel, the more you see new things, the more your brain expands to talk about new, other things. We are going global, gracias a Dios, and we are the hottest group out there. Fuerza Regida. Otro peo.
Fuerza Regida accepts the award for top duo/group and top Latin duo/group at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards Presented by Marriott Bonvoy.
Fuerza Regida:
To Billboard Music Awards, we’ve been here for a while now. I want to thank everybody who’s been riding with us since the jump, and everyone who fell out throughout the journey. I want to thank you guys. If it wasn’t for you guys, we wouldn’t be here right now. Thanks to Billboards for streaming our records. We’re going global, gracias a Dios. Pure Fuerza Regida.
Bebe Rexha and David Guetta were all good at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (Nov. 19), as they teamed up to perform their massive dance hit “I’m Good (Blue).”
Dressed in a stunning form-fitting gown, Rexha opened the performance with a slowed-down, orchestral version of the track. However, midway through the performance, the beat dropped and headed back into the club-ready melody.
Fans in the audience were chosen in a first-of-its-kind collaboration between the BBMAs and Spotify Fans First, who teamed up to identify fans who have consumed the most hours of music over the past year and helped drive their favorite artists to the top spots on the Billboard charts.
“I’m Good (Blue)” — which was a finalist for three BBMAs at Sunday’s show and took home the prize for top dance/electronic song — spent 55 weeks at No. 1 on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. (Only one song in the chart’s nearly 11-year history has had a longer run at No. 1; “Happier” by Marshmello and Bastille topped the chart for 69 weeks.)
“I want to say thank you so much to Billboard, thank you to my fans — come on, Rexhars! Stand up, let’s go!” Rexha said in her acceptance speech, adding what an “incredible journey” the song had taken. “We did it in 2017 and we didn’t think it was going to become such a worldwide anthem. We wanted to just flip a fun song from back in the day and just make it feel good. I just can’t believe how far this song has gone. Fifty-two weeks at No. 1, OK? I grew up watching Billboard and to be here right now is such an awesome, full-circle moment.”
Bebe Rexha accepts the Billboard Music Award at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards on November 19 at the Mandalay Generating Station in Oxnard, California.

Rexha then tossed to Guetta, who sent in a video acceptance speech. “The story of ‘I’m Good’ is actually crazy, because we were just jamming in the studio four years ago, and we didn’t want to put it out, really. I just played it as a tool in my DJ set, and someone sampled it. And it all started with TikTok, because someone used it as a TikTok sound. Now here we are: A full year at No. 1 on Billboard. This is really incredible.”
Rexha and Guetta are both past Billboard Music Awards winners. “Meant to Be,” Rexha’s collab with Florida Georgia Line, won four years ago for top country song, while Guetta was named top EDM artist in 2013.
