"Cuidao por Ahí" (stylized in uppercase; ) is a song by Colombian singer J Balvin and Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny from their collaborative album Oasis (2019). The song was released on 23 August 2019 as the fourth single from the project. Billboard magazine ranked it as the 33rd best song of 2019.
Composition The song contains a "menacing, sometimes disturbing beat", with J Balvin leading the opening lines, "chanting and singing in a register far lower than usual", followed by Bad Bunny's "higher voice". Billboard called the song a "musical switch whose success underscores how seamlessly these two work together", and asserted that if Bad Bunny is the "bad guy" in Oasis, then "Cuidao por Ahí" is a role reversal.
Commercial performance Like the rest of the songs of Oasis, "Cuidao por Ahí" managed to chart on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart, peaking at number 28.
