Summer is getting close which means we're going to need some good bops to move our hips to, whether on the dance floor or in the bedroom. And OnlyFans performer Santiago Garcia, better known as _SANTI_, has just the song for us! Making the shift from adult performer to musician, _SANTI_'s new song "PerreON" might just be the one we're looking for!

Shot in Miami and produced by Sam Garfield, "PerreON" is full of gorgeous men, futuristic aesthetics, and a bunch of gorgeous locations—and one seemingly very cool gas station—that might actually make us want to step foot in Florida! The song's title is a nod to "Perreo" which is a style of dance associated with Reggaeton that started in Puerto Rico in the 1980s. Perreo is decidedly a sexual, hip-moving dance. It's about passion, it's about sex, and as Garcia puts it, it's about the need to "tear it up at the clubs" the anticipation of the night to come.

But "Perre On" isn't just a bop; it's also deeply rooted in _SANTI_'s personal history. _SANTI_ was born and raised in Venezuela under the strong-fisted tenure of President Nicolas Maduro and says it was not easy growing up gay then and there, particularly because Venezuela is also so known for its aggressively machismo culture. _SANTI_'s father died when he was 10 years old, and dancing in front of the mirror became the perfect way for him to express himself, hoping that one day he could do the same on stage.

Fleeing the country at age 18 with only $300 to his name, _SANTI_ found himself in Miami where he worked his ass off to make a life for himself in the US. Between his Venezuelan upbringing, the Puerto Rican roots of Perreo, and the influence of Miami's Latinx population, PerreON decidedly brings the heat of generations of passion.

This isn't _SANTI_'s first recording, though. A huge fan of Kim Petras, _SANTI_ recorded his own version of Petras' wildly successful album Slut Pop with his Spanglish cover of "Treat Me Like A Slut." Adding in his own raps, _SANTI_ wanted to honor Petras' already sexy songs by making them even sexier. How did he do that? By singing them in Spanish, obvi. "'Treat me like a Slut' is such a dirty song and speaks so much to who I am," the artist said. "I just thought that the only way it could sound even dirtier was in Spanish!"
