Making a grand entrance at the Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall, she was there to show support for the film’s soundtrack, which features her collaboration with Panamanian artist, Aldo Ranks.

This intoxicating track has swiftly climbed up the charts, hitting a peak at No. 12 on Latin Digital Song Sales as of the chart date on July 1.

Here are the English lyrics:

Papi, let’s go to the club to have a good time
A lot of smoke, Aguardiente to get dizzy
Papi, let’s go to the club to have a good time
A lot of smoke, Aguardiente to get dizzy

And wow, dance all the way to the floor, that the whole world
Knows that dancing you’re a murderer 
And wow, dance all the way to the floor, that the whole world
Knows that dancing you’re a murderer 

The hands to the air, the pum-pum to the floor
With the hands on the hips
Whoever moves it as they want pays 
But move, well

To the floor, to the floor
To the floor, to the floor
To the floor, to the floor
Go lower, go lower
Go lower, lower, lower

That bam-bam-bam and I come, come, come
Move it there
I know you’re active and I’m at 100
Let’s continue
Moving that bam-bam-bam and I come, come, come
Move it there
I know you’re active and I’m at 100
Let’s continue

Papi, let’s go to the club to have a good time
A lot of smoke, Aguardiente to get dizzy
Papi, let’s go to the club to have a good time
A lot of smoke, Aguardiente to get dizzy

And wow, dance all the way to the floor, that the whole world
Knows that dancing you’re a murderer 
And wow, dance all the way to the floor, that the whole world
Knows that dancing you’re a murderer 

When I see you dance to the floor, mami
My heart begins to fulfill at once
The guys in the club tell me: “Aldo, represent”
The Bichota has mambo on those hips

When she begins to move that bam-bam-bam and I come, come, come
Move it there
I know you’re active and I’m at 100
Let’s continue

Dancing with the people in the club
The smoke, the aguardiente, girl, I don’t feel my head
Pass me the water that’s on the table
To drink it all because I want to get refreshed
If you want the party to continue
Let’s go to the after party until it’s morning
