6 Karol G Tracks to Fall in Love With Ahead of Her Coachella 2026 Performance
There's no doubt that Grammy-winning Colombian singer-songwriter Karol G is one of the biggest Latin music artists in the world—especially with the latest announcement that she'll be a headliner at Coachella in 2026.
The reggaeton and urban pop sensation will be performing both Sundays of the festival on April 12 and April 19, and we can't wait for her to dominate the stage. Of course, with so many household names on the roster, not everyone will be familiar with her irresistible sound, particularly if they don't listen to a lot of Spanish-language music. If that's you, but you're curious about getting into Karol G, we recommend starting with the six tracks below (including a few songs from her latest album, Tropioqueta), that just might make an appearance on her set list.

'Bandida Entrenada'
"Bandida Entrenada" (translating to "trained bandit" in English) is one of Karol G's freshest new songs from this summer. The pulse-pounding reggaeton hit is a relaxed and confident anthem to her own sexiness and appeal. She's the titular thief, relishing the chance to steal men's hearts only to break them and disappear from their lives in a flash.
'LATINA FOREVA'
A bold sense of self-assurance lies at the heart of many of Karol G's hottest songs, and that's the case yet again with "LATINA FOREVA." It's another reggaeton jam about her desire to simply have fun and enjoy herself, even if the guy he's seeing wants a bigger commitment. She suggests that he's got an obsession with Latina women, but she gets it. Instead of expressing jealousy, she decides to hype up the beauty and irresistible allure of Latinas everywhere.

'Papasito'
"Papasito" is another track of Tropioqueta, and one of her very rare songs with most of the lyrics in English. "Papasito" means "daddy," and this fun and dreamy electric merengue track is all about infatuation at first sight. The subject of the song has Karol completely addicted with his love, yearning to hold on to him forever even if she's not sure if he'll be hers.
'Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido'
We're heading a little further back in time with Karol's 2024 smash hit of the summer, "Si Antes Te Hubiera Conocido." Translating to "if I had met you before." the song is a bubbly merengue pop reflection on a love that can't ever be. Backed by the lively tropical sound, she imagines what her life could be like with the object of her affections, though he's already promised his heart to someone else.

'Mientras Me Curo Del Cora'
"Mientras Me Curo Del Cora" showcases yet another side of Karol G's artistry, sampling Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" to create a sense of peace and comfort. With a cozy island-pop sound, the 2023 hit's title translates to "while I heal from a broken heart." It's a track about Karol taking time to herself, knowing a little time, rest and relaxation will heal her aching heart. She accepts the pain, knowing feeling it is all part of the process, as she also embraces the soothing feel of the sun and water against her skin.
'Ojos Ferrari'
"Ojos Ferrari" was another sensational song off Karol's 2023 album, Mañana Será Bonito, while offering a completely different sound and vibe. It's a high-energy raggaeton celebration with a title that means "Ferrari eyes. Featuring Justin Quiles and Angel Dior, the song serves as a celebration of freedom and indulgence. She just wants to party on the beach, forgetting everything else in the process.
