Prince Royce, born Geoffrey Royce Rojas on May 11, 1989, in The Bronx, New York City, is an American singer and songwriter of Dominican descent. From a young age, Royce showed a passion for music, experimenting with songwriting and poetry before launching his professional career in 2008.
He is best known for his fresh blend of bachata, Latin pop, and R&B, which propelled his 2010 self-titled debut album to the top of the US Billboard Latin Albums and Tropical Albums charts. Hits like "Stand by Me" and "Corazón Sin Cara" earned him critical acclaim and multiple awards, making him one of the leading figures in modern Latin music. Royce has since released several successful albums, including "Phase II," "Soy el Mismo," and "Five," collaborating with stars such as Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, and Pitbull.
Prince Royce continues to innovate by mixing traditional bachata with contemporary sounds, inspiring a new generation of Latin music fans worldwide.
Prince Royce kicks off this bachata classic by telling a girl he loves that he's heard she's insecure about her looks. His response is direct and sweet: he tells her to look in the mirror and see how beautiful she is without makeup. He doesn't care about appearances, singing, "Y si eres gorda o flaca / Todo eso no me importa a mí" [And if you're fat or skinny / None of that matters to me]. It's a powerful message about loving someone for who they are on the inside, not what they look like on the outside.
He builds on this idea with the song's main line, "Y el corazón / No tiene cara" [And the heart / doesn't have a face], explaining that love lives in the soul. To show he understands, he even admits his own insecurities, saying, "Aunque tenga cara de bonito me acomplejo yo también" [Even though I have a handsome face, I get insecure too]. It's a song dedicated to anyone who has ever felt they weren't good enough, with a promise that true love sees beyond the surface.
Feel the sway of bachata and a tug‐of‐war of hearts. In “Recházame,” New York–born, Dominican–rooted Prince Royce invites us onto the dance floor while confessing a secret dilemma. Over crisp guitars and syncopated bongos, he admits that both lovers already have partners. The chemistry is electric, the smiles are real, yet every beat of the song reminds them that giving in would shatter more than just rules.
The hook is a desperate request: “Reject me, forget me.” Royce’s narrator is torn between irresistible attraction and a moral compass that will not stay silent. He pleads for her to walk away before temptation wins, insisting that short‐term passion is not worth long‐term pain. The chorus repeats like a mantra, turning personal struggle into a relatable anthem: we all know how hard it is to do the right thing when the rhythm — and the heart — refuse to slow down.
Prince Royce is completely hooked on a woman who is not what she seems in his bachata hit, "Carita De Inocente." He sings that she has a "carita de inocente" [little innocent face], but he knows the truth: she's actually a "diabla bien vestida" [a well-dressed devil]. It's a classic setup—the good girl who is secretly wild—and Royce sounds like he loves every minute of it.
He complains that whenever he tells her he loves her—"Si te digo que te amo"—she takes advantage of him. But what does she do? She just gives him what he wants with even more passion! He says she has her "trucos" [tricks] and that because of her, "hace tiempo yo no duermo solo" [it's been a while since I've slept alone]. He calls her wild and different, the "cafeína de mi corazón" [caffeine of my heart], which is a great way to describe someone who keeps you up all night.
Have you ever felt like you went from being someone's everything to... nothing? That's the whole mood of this bachata track by Prince Royce. He spells out the feeling of being completely devalued in a relationship, comparing himself to a "llamada perdida" (a missed call). He feels like he's become just "Ese beso olvidado" (that forgotten kiss), "Un recuerdo empolvado" (a dusty memory), and "Un mensaje borrado" (a deleted message). It's a painful list of things that were once important but are now just ignored or thrown away.
He describes his partner as both his refuge and his greatest weakness, someone who plays with his heart like a "rompecabezas" (puzzle). He feels like he's given everything—"He dado tanto y nada cambió" (I've given so much and nothing changed)—only to be left feeling empty and terrified of being forgotten. He even pleads, "No, no quiero que me olvides" (No, I don't want you to forget me). The song perfectly describes that awful feeling of being left on the sidelines by someone who was once your whole world.
Prince Royce’s hit “Darte Un Beso” is pure Bachata romance: a catchy, guitar-driven confession of a love so intense it feels almost illegal! Throughout the song, the singer lists wild, imaginative feats—switching off the sun, lowering the moon, learning new languages—all to show how far he is willing to go for a single, meaningful kiss. Every line drips with devotion and playful exaggeration, painting love as both a sweet dream and an unstoppable force.
At its heart, the track celebrates selfless affection. Royce wants the person he loves to wake up happy, feel fearless, and never lack anything. The chorus repeats his heartfelt goal: “Yo sólo quiero darte un beso… Quiero que no te falte nada.” In other words, he does not just want to love; he wants his love to be a gift that fills every corner of his partner’s world. The upbeat rhythm keeps the mood fun and danceable, turning this passionate promise into a feel-good anthem you can sway to under the stars.
Prince Royce’s “Incondicional” is a heartfelt bachata ode to unwavering love. The singer speaks directly to his partner, reminding her that he is still here, no matter how dark their shared past may be. Even after shedding more tears than the sky and hitting rock bottom while fighting for their relationship, he clings to an affection so big that it refuses to die.
Unconditional means loving without clocks, scoreboards, or conditions, and that is exactly what Royce celebrates. His voice glides over smooth Caribbean guitars as he describes a bond that never judges, always forgives, dreams together, and asks for nothing in return. By the end of the song, the listener is left swaying to a promise: “Soy incondicional… Un amor tan real.” Prince Royce fuses his Dominican roots and New York upbringing to remind us that true love perseveres, even through the toughest storms.
Have you ever gone on vacation planning to just have fun and maybe be a little bit of a heartbreaker, only to have it all go completely sideways? That's exactly what happens to Prince Royce in this song. He's on vacation in the Dominican Republic, and his plan is simple: "A pasarla bien como se supone / Listo para romper corazones" [To have a good time as you're supposed to / Ready to break hearts]. He's definitely not looking for love.
But then, at a bar on the malecón, he meets someone. They talk, they dance, they share a Presidente beer, and one thing leads to another. The next morning, he wakes up completely surprised: "Y me enredé en RD / Y ahí a tu lado abrazado desperté" [And I got entangled in the DR / And there I woke up, hugging you]. He admits he doesn't remember everything that happened, but he knows one thing for sure: "Sólo sé que tu boca se enredó en la mía / Y me olvidé que enamorarme no quería" [I only know that your mouth got entangled with mine / And I forgot that I didn't want to fall in love]. His simple vacation plan got very complicated, very fast.
“Otra Vez” sweeps us onto the bachata dance-floor where Prince Royce, the New-York-born singer with Dominican roots, confesses that love keeps pulling him back even when it hurts. Each verse paints the image of a wounded heart that has already felt “una daga clavada” (a dagger driven in) yet still dares to hope. He calls himself a masoquista and admits he is “loco” and “frustrado,” but the irresistible rhythm of romance makes him fall all over again. In true bachata fashion, the bittersweet lyrics glide over a lively beat, showing how passion and pain often dance together.
The chorus becomes a cycle: “Otra vez moriré… volveré a caer… otra vez lloraré,” meaning he will die a little, fall once more, and cry again—still he surrenders to the power of a woman’s love. The song celebrates the universal tug-of-war between self-protection and the thrill of giving your heart away. “Otra Vez” reminds us that, despite the scars, many of us willingly step back into love’s embrace, hopeful that this time the story ends differently.
Have you ever looked back on a relationship and wondered how it all fell apart? That's exactly where Prince Royce is in "Un Papel". He starts by thinking about how fast time flies and how it can leave you with some emotional scars, singing, "Cómo pasan los años, los años, los años nos dejaron heridas" (How the years pass, the years, the years left us wounds). He remembers a specific day, a first of March, when he was just a boy and she was beautiful. He'd give anything to go back to that moment, to dance with her and have a drink together one more time.
But here's the twist. Despite all this nostalgia, they are now "dos extraños" (two strangers), drifting further apart. The only thing left from their time together is a legal document, what he calls "un anillo y una firma en un papel" (a ring and a signature on a piece of paper). It seems like they got married, but the marriage itself is gone, leaving only the paperwork behind. And just when you think it's all romantic sadness, he throws in a final, funny line about her: "No cocinaba tampoco limpiaba" (She didn't cook or clean either). It's a little dose of reality after all the daydreaming.
“El Amor Que Perdimos” is a heartbreak anthem wrapped in the smooth sway of bachata. Prince Royce—born in the United States to Dominican parents—invites us into a bittersweet dream where love’s echoes still linger. The singer remembers nights filled with passion, only to wake up to betrayal he never saw coming. Those tender “te amo” whispers clash with cold, rejecting eyes, painting a vivid picture of mixed signals and wounded trust.
Despite years of emotional tug-of-war, one precious milagro—a child born from the relationship—stands as proof that something beautiful can grow from pain. Yet the chorus is crystal-clear: “Yo te amé, te adoré… no te quiero ver.” It is the sound of someone finally closing the door, admitting the depth of their suffering, and choosing self-respect over toxic love. The song’s catchy guitar riffs may invite you to dance, but its lyrics remind you that even the sweetest rhythm can carry a story of loss and liberation.
Ever had a breakup where you just hope your ex doesn't trash your reputation? That's exactly what this song is about. Prince Royce, Nicky Jam, and Jay Wheeler team up to plead with a former lover. Their main request is simple: "Si te preguntan qué pasó entre nos / Que eso se quede entre nosotros dos" (If they ask you what happened between us / Let that stay between the two of us). They know they messed up, but they don't want to be painted as the villain in the story.
They even give her a script to follow if she absolutely has to talk. They suggest she say, "Diles que no fui el mejor / Pero no me hagas ver como un perdedor" (Tell them I wasn't the best / But don't make me look like a loser). The song is a mix of ego, regret, and a little bit of hope. He reminds her of the good times, like the warm nights in New York, and even tries to reframe the bad times, claiming he made her cry tears of happiness. It's a classic post-breakup negotiation, trying to control the narrative while also leaving the door open just a crack, in case she starts to miss him.
Prince Royce and Shakira spin a sensual bachata tale about the exhausting merry-go-round of a love that never truly heals. In "Deja Vu" they confess that each reunion feels like reopening an old wound, no matter how many shots of tequila try to disinfect the pain. The lovers recognise the cycle—passion, betrayal, regret—and decide it is wiser to stay alone than fall back into the same picture of “locura, hipocresía total.”
Throughout the song they challenge anyone brave enough to raise a hand and vouch for real love, or to pay the emotional bail money that would free their aching hearts. By the end, both singers agree: if someone is going to preach about love, it definitely will not be them. "Deja Vu" is a rhythmic reminder that sometimes self-preservation beats romance, even on the dance floor.
Feel that irresistible pull on the dance floor? Culpa Al Corazón is Prince Royce’s playful confession that sometimes love takes the wheel and our hearts drive us straight into trouble. Over smooth, hip-swaying bachata guitar, the Dominican-American star admits he can’t stop thinking about a woman whose sparkling eyes keep him up at night. Late-night calls, tipsy whispers to a couple glasses of rum, and endless daydreams all get pinned on one culprit – his rebellious heart.
In the chorus, Royce pleads with his crush: “No me culpes a mí… culpa al corazón.” He paints himself as a powerless “marioneta” and a mere “pasajero” on a journey toward happiness at her side. The message is clear and charming – when love hits this hard, logic steps aside and rhythm takes over. So, as you listen, let your own heart lead and sway along with every passionate beat.
Hop in for a midnight ride through heartbreak! In “La Carretera,” New York–born, Dominican–rooted Prince Royce turns a lonely highway into an emotional soundtrack of bachata. As raindrops drum on the windshield and the radio plays that special song, the singer races beneath moonlit skies, replaying everything he never said to a lost love. Every flashing headlight feels like a star over a sky filled with pain, and every mile reminds him of the unanswered question: ¿Dónde estarás? (Where could you be?).
The road itself becomes a living metaphor for longing. Royce accelerates toward memories, leaving desperate voice messages and swearing no one else can replace him, all while the distance stretches endlessly ahead. His plea is simple yet powerful: he hopes that somewhere, tucked away in her heart, there still lives “un poquito de amor.” By the song’s end, the sunrise is near, but his journey isn’t about reaching a destination—it’s about chasing a love that feels just out of reach, making every listener feel the ache of love lost but not forgotten.
Te Espero is a bittersweet bachata conversation where longing and closure twist around each other like dance partners. Prince Royce, the Dominican-American king of modern bachata, sings from the lonely corner of a familiar meeting spot, hoping his ex will walk back into his arms. He still feels haunted by her memory, convinced she cast a spell that keeps him awake at night. Every guitar lick and syncopated beat mirrors his plea: “Ven que yo te espero” – Come, I’ll be waiting.
Enter Argentina’s pop sensation María Becerra, and the mood flips. She replies that the spell is broken for her; the place that once echoed with passion now feels empty. While he clings to nostalgia, she chooses self-respect, declaring “Ya no te espero” – I don’t wait for you anymore. Together they create a duet about heartbreak, regret, and the hard decision to move on, all wrapped in the hip-swaying warmth of bachata. Listen close and you can almost see two shadows on the dance floor: one reaching out, the other stepping away.
“Soy El Mismo” is Prince Royce’s heartfelt reminder that true identity survives the roller-coaster of life. Over a smooth bachata rhythm, the singer looks back on late-night phone calls, secret dates, and handmade sketches of his sweetheart. He admits that fame, money, and time have tried to pull him in different directions, yet he insists: “I’m still the same guy who wrote songs on the train.” The chorus feels like catching up with an old friend who never really changed, no matter how far the journey has taken him.
The lyrics also deliver a gentle life lesson. Love is not about winning or losing but about being real with yourself. Royce acknowledges that destiny sometimes sends people down separate roads, and we are not “superhumans” who can control everything. Still, authenticity and loyalty can outshine distance or success. In short, the song celebrates staying true to your roots, cherishing shared memories, and valuing genuine connections above all else.
Cúrame is a passionate confession where Prince Royce and Manuel Turizo admit they are hopelessly hooked on a love that hurts as much as it heals. The singers call the woman their “adicción,” begging her to cure them with the simplest prescription: her love and her kisses. Every time she is away, life feels like a painful illness, yet one touch from her becomes the instant remedy.
Throughout the song, they mix urgency with playful charm – questioning if someone else is warming her heart, promising to win her back, and even day-dreaming about an escape to Miami. The chorus circles back to the same sweet paradox: not having you is a problem, your kisses are my solution. Wrapped in catchy Pop melodies and Caribbean flair, Cúrame turns romantic yearning into an infectious anthem about love as both the ailment and the cure.
“Te Robaré” translates to “I’ll steal you away”, and that playful threat sets the tone for this sizzling bachata anthem. Prince Royce slips into the role of a modern-day Romeo who refuses to let strict parents, locked doors or neighborhood gossip keep him from the girl who makes his heart race. With every verse he paints a late-night scene: climbing through her window, showering her with kisses, and promising that nothing – not danger, not disapproval – can stop their rendezvous.
Beneath the catchy guitar riffs and hip-swaying rhythm lies a message of bold, rebellious love. The singer’s repeated vow to “steal” his lover is less about kidnapping and more about liberating their passion from the rules that surround them. It is an intoxicating mix of romance and audacity that captures what bachata does best: turning desire, risk, and youthful defiance into a danceable declaration of love.
In "No Te Vayas" ("Don’t Leave"), Prince Royce puts his smooth bachata rhythm at the service of raw heartbreak. The Dominican-American star admits he once thought he was “perfect,” but now he feels literally sick without his lover’s affection. Rum, casual flings, even the bright lights of New York City can’t numb the pain. Every line is a confession that he messed up, he didn’t value her, and now an empty space echoes inside him.
The song is a passionate plea: “No te vayas con mi vida… sin tu amor yo me muero.” He owns his mistakes, takes full responsibility, and begs her to stay before the wound becomes fatal to his spirit. The catchy beat might make you sway, yet the lyrics paint a vivid picture of regret, vulnerability, and the desperate hope for a second chance.
Adicto is a playful yet confessional bachata where Prince Royce and Marc Anthony slip into the shoes of a hopeless romantic who just cannot say no. The narrator hops from a dazzling blonde who speaks several languages to a glamorous Russian ready for a Paris shopping spree, handing out promises and credit-card swipes like candy. His friend keeps warning him that he has already given away almost everything, but the only thing the singer admits is, “Lo reconozco, soy un adicto” – I admit it, I am an addict. The “addiction” here is not to substances but to the thrill of fleeting flirtations, late-night dancing, and the illusion of endless love.
Wrapped in irresistible bachata rhythms, the song captures that tug-of-war between reason and impulse. Royce’s smooth vocals and Marc Anthony’s seasoned advice create a fun back-and-forth: one voice trying to justify his nonstop romantic escapades, the other trying to pull him back to reality. By the final chorus, the listener is left swaying to the guitar and bongos, fully aware that this charming protagonist is caught in a cycle of passion, regret, and repetition – and loving every minute of it.
“Nada” is Prince Royce’s sweet Bachata confession that true love leaves nothing else to wish for. Throughout the song, the Dominican-American star paints an intimate picture of two lovers hidden away from the world, surrounded only by the soft groove of Juan Luis Guerra playing in the background. One tender kiss is enough to turn the entire universe into the shape of his partner, and every shared moment – from tangled sheets to unhurried whispers – confirms that they already have everything they need.
At its heart, the track celebrates the feeling of completeness that comes from genuine connection. Prince Royce promises unwavering devotion, vowing to keep his partner safe from pain while savoring every second together until sunrise. The message is simple yet powerful: when love is real, there is “nada” missing, and even the passage of time seems to pause just so the two can stay wrapped in each other’s arms.
El Clavo is a playful breakup anthem where Prince Royce and Maluma slip into the role of the smooth rescuer. They spot a woman stuck with a careless, party-loving boyfriend and offer a tempting escape: “If he dumps you tonight, tell him you are not alone, you are with me.” The singers promise real attention, romance, and even their Grammy awards, contrasting their own charm with the guy they label an “idiot.”
The title comes from the Spanish saying “un clavo saca otro clavo” (“one nail pulls out another nail”). In other words, the best way to forget a bad love is to dive into a better one. Packed with swagger, cheeky wordplay, and irresistible rhythm, the song celebrates confidence, self-worth, and the thrill of trading heartbreak for a hotter, happier connection.
