Cardi B is slaying 2020 with all these collaborations. Following "WAP" with Megan Thee Stallion going No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, the rapper has now teamed up with Brazilian superstar Anitta and Puerto Rican rapper Myke Towers for their Spanglish single, "Me Gusta." The song's smooth beat will get you dancing right away, but that's not all. Anitta and Cardi B's "Me Gusta" lyrics are so fire, you won't be able to get them out of your head.
The single released on Friday, Sept. 18, along with a vibrant video showing the three stars taking to the streets in Salvador, Brazil. Fans may recognize the location because it's the same place Michael Jackson filmed the music video for his 1995 hit "They Don't Really Care About Us."
In a Sept. 18 interview with NBC News, Anitta revealed she weaves her Brazilian background throughout her music in order to help introduce her culture to fans around the world. "If I can do something to try to make the next people who come after not go through the things that I went through — for me, that's amazing," Anitta explained, adding collaborating with Cardi B was the "best bridge" for that.
"Me Gusta" is a taste of what fans can expect on Anitta's fifth album, set to be released later this year. The record will be her debut project with Warner Records in the United States. "My album is a little bit of a mix of Brazilian culture, and we are always [mixing] Latino sounds with Brazilian culture with pop, American radio," Anitta said. "You will always feel Brazil on the tracks."

The song is all about women having confidence and knowing what they want. "WAP" had a similar theme, so Cardi fans will definitely enjoy "Me Gusta" because it's just as empowering. Read the lyrics below.

Verse 3: Myke Towers
Get creative, all women are beautiful
But the ones I like most are Latin
She's not a lesbian, but she sometimes secretly f*cks her girlfriend
She moves her hips to the rhythm of the music
She makes herself hyperactive on me
She does the things and they don't catch her, yah, yah, yah
We've done everything, I've been able to do everything
What style and what way, me everything
I'd do all of those dirty things again
She's my soulmate, we're both addicted to sex
