Music and lyrics Musically, "Qué Rico Ch**gamos" is a reggaeton track that incorporates elements of electronica. SPIN described it as a "synth-driven" track. Billboard described the track as a "mid-tempo techno-dancehall merger" featuring an "ascending synthesizer" that gives the illusion of skyrocketing into space within the first 15 seconds, with "thudding electro drums" and "sultry futuristic beats," labeling it the most "technosexual" track on the album. Written by Alejandro and produced by himself and Kenobi, the track runs for a total of four minutes and six seconds.
Lyrically, "Qué Rico Ch**gamos", which translates to "How Nicely We F**ked" in English, explores themes of passion, desire, and sexual liberation. The song details two people who have parted ways but reunited only to continue where they left off: making love. In the pre-chorus, Alejandro sings: "A mi la'o desnuda te tengo dormía' / Y me lo ha jura'o que no me lo creo / Ojalá comerte to' los día' / Sé que nos faltan por cumplir más deseo'." The chorus emphasizes the pleasure and satisfaction they experience: "Mira dónde estamos / Otra ve' en la cama terminamo' / Qué rico chingamos / Qué rico tú y yo chingamos." In the verses, Alejandro compares his lover to the Eiffel Tower and playfully refers to her as "caperucita de rojo" (Little Red Riding Hood), expressing his intention to satisfy her desires completely.

Music video
The music video for "Qué Rico Ch**gamos" was released on March 2, 2023, directed by STILLZ, and marked Alejandro's first video shot in Tokyo, Japan. The visual features Alejandro and his crew wearing face masks with his face printed on them, enjoying a night out in Tokyo — playing arcade games, drinking beers, taking pictures with anime characters, and eventually going home with them. Los 40 noted that the video's concept — where Alejandro appears multiplied into five clones — might be an allegory for the effects of alcohol, as he "sees double" during the wild party night in Tokyo.
