Grupo Frontera and Bad Bunny, Un x100to: the English lyrics & meaning
Un x100to is a song that remembers with melancholy a relationship that has recently ended. In the lyrics, the singer says he just has 1% charge on their phone’s battery, and he will use it to tell the girl he loved how much he misses her. “Un x100to” is precisely the stylized Spanish version of “one percent” (“un por ciento”). You find it mentioned already at the song’s beginning.
I have 1% left
And I’ll use it just to tell you how sorry I am
That if they see me with another girl at the disco, it’s just wasting time
Baby, why will I lie to you?
That thing about how they saw me happy, no, it’s not true
The singer feels responsible for the way the relationship ended. He’s sorry, and he misses her. People have told her that he’s hanging out with other girls, and he’s apparently happy, but he tries to explain the truth to the girl he loved: he’s just “wasting time,” it’s his way to cope with sadness, but at the end of the day, he ends up always missing her.
Nothing makes me smile anymore
Only when I see the photos and videos I have of you
I went out with another girl to forget you and she was wearing the perfume that you like
When Bad Bunny takes over singing, he explicitly admits he played with her. The following lyrics in Un x100to are full of meaning:
I already know that you are doing well
That you don’t have to know about me, hey, hey
Living in a hell that I started
Playing with you as if I were a number 10
Therefore, the song becomes an admission of guilt: she broke up with him because of his behavior, and he knows that. However, he now understood how important she was to him, and he feels lost. He gets drunk, desperately checks her Instagram, and returns to all the good memories they have together. And that’s the real meaning of the lyrics in Un x100to: a breakup song from the man’s point of view, expressing sadness and guilt.

The English lyrics
I have 1% left
And I’ll use it just to tell you how sorry I am
That if they see me with another girl at the disco, it’s just wasting time
Baby, why will I lie to you?
That thing about how they saw me happy, no, it’s not true
Nothing makes me smile anymore
Only when I see the photos and videos I have of you
I went out with another girl to forget you and she was wearing the perfume that you like
I get lit to go to sleep
Because I sleep better if I dream that you are here
If you knew that I texted you I have not sent the messages, they are all still there
Wow, how much it has cost me
Maybe I did you a favor when I left your side
Drunk looking at your photos, it hurts to see that you have improved
You don’t have gray days, the scars no longer hurt
And I’m thinking whether telling you that
I have 1% left
And I’ll use it just to tell you how sorry I am
That if they see me with another girl at the disco, it’s just wasting time
Baby, why will I lie to you?
That thing about how they saw me happy, no, it’s not true (Hey)
I haven’t thought about you in a long time
I checked your Insta while being drunk
Baby, I already know that you are doing well
That you don’t have to know about me, hey, hey
Living in a hell that I started
Playing with you as if I were a number 10
I feel that I am no longer in your heart, now
I am at your feet
Begging you, drowning in tequila
The boys are asking me to hang out
I have a good time, but I always end up missing you
Drowning in tequila, hey
Girls texting me, hey
Where is the party today, but
I have 1% left
And I’ll use it just to tell you how sorry I am
That if they see me with another girl at the disco, it’s just wasting time
Baby, why will I lie to you?
That thing about how they saw me happy, no, it’s not true
And this is Grupo Frontera
And Bad Bunny
