what is gasolina about

According to Daddy Yankee, "Gasolina" is "about energy independence". The chorus of the song reads "a ella le gusta la gasolina, dame más gasolina, como le encanta la gasolina, dame más gasolina," which translates to "she likes gasoline, give me more gasoline, how she loves the gasoline, give me more gasoline". However, the phrase "she likes gasoline" is also a well-known Puerto Rican expression that means "she likes to go out and have a good time". Some people interpret the song as a metaphor for sex, as the lyrics are full of suggestive and explicit language that alludes to physical attraction. Despite the various interpretations, Daddy Yankee has stated that the song is "one of the most innocent songs" he has ever written. "Gasolina" was a hit in North America and the Caribbean, gaining Daddy Yankee popularity among Latino mainstream music fans. It is also considered one of the songs that opened the door for reggaeton and created a pathway for other stars in the genre.
