[Intro: Sofía Reyes & Lauv]
Y primero dije "no," pero sí quería (Woo)
Pa' que te fueras me inventé cualquier tontería (Hmm-hmm)
Pero después del trago cinco te di la mano, y (Woo)
Me gustó tanto lo malo que eras bailando (Okay)
[Chorus: Lauv with Sofía Reyes]
I met a girl at El Tejano, we danced
To Spanish covers of Nirvana, we danced
And got another margarita, she's from Reseda
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight," yeah
[Verse 1: Lauv]
Drinkin' after dark, that's when she stole my heart (Mmm)
She knew my friends, that's where the story begins
Standin' at the salsa bar, asked if it was mild
I was speechless, but still, I smiled
Took me by the hand and asked me if I had plans
I said, "Gettin' drunk and pretendin' that I can dance"
She laughed, I fell in love and now it's no goin' back
Once you know it, yeah, you know it, that's that
[Chorus: Lauv with Sofía Reyes]
I met a girl at El Tejano, we danced
To Spanish covers of Nirvana, we danced
And got another margarita, she's from Reseda
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight," yeah
It's happy hour up in NoHo, we danced
She said, "I never come here solo," we danced
She's got a round of straight tequila, she's from Reseda
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight," yeah
[Verse 2: Lauv & Sofía Reyes]
She asked if I like Friends, I guess that that was the test
I said, "Hell yeah, and Phoebe's the fuckin' best"
We were standin' at the salsa bar, feelin' the vibration (I know)
I always find myself in random situations
Ooh, do you wanna have a little bit of fun tonight?
She said, "Ooh, I do"
Ooh, do you wanna have a little bit of fun?
Once you know it, yeah, you know it, that's that
[Chorus: Lauv with Sofía Reyes]
I met a girl at El Tejano, we danced
To Spanish covers of Nirvana, we danced
And got another margarita, she's from Reseda
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight"
It's happy hour up in NoHo, we danced
She said, "I never come here solo," we danced
She's got a round of straight tequila, she's from Reseda
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight"
[Verse 3: Sofía Reyes]
Y primero dije "no," pero sí quería
Pa' que te fueras me inventé cualquier tontería
Pero después del trago cinco te di la mano, y
Me gustó tanto lo malo que eras bailando
Déjame, te enseño yo, que la cumbia es mía
Cuando se acabe esta canción, nos vamos, ¿quién diría no?
Mira que no salgo sola, pero llego sola
Que estoy mejor sola, pero
We're going to my place tonight
[Outro: Lauv]
I met a girl at El Tejano, we danced (I'm from wherever you're goin')
To Spanish covers of Nirvana, we danced (I'm from wherever you're goin')
And got another margarita, she's from Reseda (I'm from wherever you're goin')
I said, "I'm from wherever you're goin' tonight"
El Tejano was written by Michael Pollack & Lauv & Charlie Guerrero & Shari Short & Sofía Reyes & Ross Golan & Johan Carlsson.
El Tejano was produced by Lauv & Johan Carlsson.
Lauv posted a picture with Sofía Reyes on his twitter while teasing the track on 29 January 2020:
It means ‘The Texan,’ I believe. You know when you move to a new city and quickly find your spots? We found this bar and restaurant [in downtown LA] called El Tejano, and I started going there three or four times a week. It’s just the most chill place and they’ve got a good fish taco. Me and my best...
