Named after San Juan, Puerto Rico's Dákiti beach, per W magazine, "Dakiti" is a sensual love song with Bad Bunny and collaborator Jhay Cortez singing about how well they can treat their love interests. The first verse describes how Bad Bunny can please his girl as they party together. "And sometimes it's Dolce, sometimes Bulgari when I take it off of you after the parties. The glasses of wine, the pounds of weed; You're really loose, I'm on a safari," he sings, according to Genius. The second verse explains how in love Bad Bunny is with his girl as he promises to always take care of her. "You got me hooked, yeah. If you were an Urus, you'd have me parked," he says. "Take five thousand, spend it on Sephora," he continues, wanting to shower his lady with expensive gifts. 

The chorus of "Dakiti" allows the rappers to reassure that they will be all-providing for their women. "I already found out, it's noticeable when you look at me there where you haven't reached, you know I'll take you there," they start. "Tell me what do you want to drink, you are my baby. Who is going to talk about us? If we don't let ourselves be seen."

"Dakiti" is the lead single from Bad Bunny's third studio album, El Último Tour Del Mundo, per Remezcla. It marks Bad Bunny's third collaboration with fellow Puerto Rican musician Jhay Cortez.
