"Cuidao por Ahí" (stylized in upper case; English: "Careful Around There") is a song by Colombian singer J Balvin and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny from their collaborative album Oasis.[1] The song was released on 23 August 2019 as the fourth single from the project.[2] Billboard magazine ranked it as the 33rd best song of 2019.[3]
Composition
The song contains a "menacing, sometimes disturbing beat",[3] with J Balvin leading the opening lines, "chanting and singing in a register far lower than usual", followed by Bad Bunny's "higher voice".[3] Billboard called the song a "musical switch whose success underscores how seamlessly these two work together", and asserted that if Bad Bunny is the "bad guy" in Oasis, then "Cuidao por Ahí" is a role reversal.[3]

Like the rest of the songs of Oasis, "Cuidao por Ahí" managed to chart on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, peaking at number 28.[4]
Music video
The music video for "Cuidao por Ahí" was released on 23 August 2019 and was directed by Colin Tilley.[5] Its odd imagery and direction was noted by various journalists. [6]
