The flirty ranchera, released in November 2020 and penned by Nodal and Edgar Barrera, finds Nodal head over heels for Aguilar — who, in return, isn’t impressed by his kind gestures. After all, she’s not the type of girl who easily falls for a guy, she sings.
The song reached No. 1 on Billboard‘s Regional Mexican Airplay chart in Januar 2021, making a then-17-year-old Aguilar the youngest female act on a lead role to achieve the feat. She concurrently earned her first No. 1 on any Latin airplay chart while Nodal captured his 10th on Latin Airplay.

In addition to being part of the tour’s set list, the song is having its momentum four years after its release amid the viral news of Nodal and Aguilar’s romance.
“Now I find myself living a precious experience with a woman I love, with a love that took so many years for what is happening to happen and we are enjoying it, we are living the experience,” Nodal said of his new relationship with Aguilar, 20, just weeks after announcing his breakup with Argentine rapper, Cazzu.
Below, revisit the video and lyrics (translated to English) of “Dime Cómo Quieres.”

Everything began when I saw you pass byI felt something nice that I can’t explainYou caught me and I liked you moreOh, beautiful ranch girl, hi, how are you?
I’ll let you know from now onThat beautiful words are not enough For you to be able to conquer meI’m not one of those easy ones,Like those little girlsWith which I always see you with
And if I give you roses? (no matter what, they are going to wither)And if I serenade you? (no matter what, my dad will kick you to the curb)
Tell me how you want me to love youThis boy will become what you pleaseAsk away from what beautiful mouthFor you, I’ll do anything
Tell me what else you want me to sayIf my friends don’t like youAnd my family much lessWhat will people think if they see us one day?
Ay, ay, ayI’m not as bad as they say I amAy, ay, ayI’m not that dumb to let myself be fooled Ja, ja, ay, Angelita, don’t be so meanAnd you, don’t be so flirtatious
And if I give you roses? (no matter what, they are going to wither)And if I serenade you? (no matter what, my dad will kick you to the curb)
Tell me how you want me to love youThis boy will become what you pleaseAsk away from what beautiful mouthFor you, I’ll do anything
Tell me what else you want me to sayIf my friends don’t like youAnd my family much lessWhat will people think if they see us one day?
Ay, ay, ayI’m not as bad as they say I amAy, ay, ayI’m not that dumb to let myself be fooled
