Encerrados Lyrics – Romeo Santos & Prince Royce

Romeo Santos and Prince Royce finally lock eyes on their dream collab with Encerrados, the ninth track on their surprise joint album Better Late Than Never, out now through Sony Music Latin, and it feels like that heated makeup moment after a blowout, where the fight turns into fire you can’t put out.

These two have been circling each other for years, both kings of bachata in their own right, and Encerrados shows why the wait was worth it. It’s a steamy plea wrapped in that classic Dominican rhythm, with nylon strings plucking urgent and a mid-tempo groove that builds tension like a locked door. Romeo handles most of the pen here, drawing from those raw spots in love where pride clashes with passion, turning arguments into absurd strategies for saving the spark.

The lyrics hit on locking yourselves in the room till you get it—I’m not the enemy, hit me with insults or scratches, I’ll fire back with kisses. It’s got that toxic edge Santos owns, but Royce’s smoother tenor softens it, making the desperation feel almost playful, like a chess game where cheating’s part of the fun. They blend their voices seamless, trading lines that escalate from dilemma to surrender, all while keeping the bachata pulse alive without overdoing the drama.

Better Late Than Never isn’t just a team-up; it’s 13 tracks of pure bachata evolution, no leaks, no singles, just a straight drop that had Madison Square Garden on its feet for the listening party two nights ago. The opener sets a slow-burn tone with the title track, then it rolls through heartbreakers like Estocolmo and flirty fusions in Dardos, clocking about 45 minutes of Romeo’s poetic depth mixed with Royce’s romantic flair. They co-wrote four cuts together, starting from a St. Barts trip last year, and the rest pulls in R&B whispers and Caribbean nods that keep it fresh.

This album lands at a perfect time for both. Romeo’s been teasing a bachata revival since Formula Vol. 3, owning stages from Yankee Stadium to global tours, while Royce, fresh off his Double Vision era, brings that youthful fire that’s kept him packing arenas. Together, they’re like Batman and Robin for the genre, proving you can push boundaries without losing the soul, especially when the world’s craving real connection over quick hits.

X lit up after the MSG event, with clips of them dancing through Ay! San Miguel going viral and fans obsessing over Encerrados as the one that captures their chemistry best, calling it the bedroom anthem we didn’t know we needed. If the title track was the promise, this delivers the heat.
