AWPF — The Meaning Behind the Song
AWPF stands for Ass, Waist, Pretty Face.
Yeah, I know how that sounds.
On the surface, the title might make people think this is just another song about sexualizing women. But for me, it’s more specific than that. AWPF is about attraction. It’s about the physical features I’ve always been drawn to in a woman: her ass, her waist, and her pretty face.
That combination has always caught my attention.
Growing up Dominican in the Bronx, beauty was something I was surrounded by. I grew up around women whose curves, features, style, confidence, and femininity were simply part of the environment I knew. As I got older, I became more conscious of my own Dominican identity and my African roots. Being light-skinned doesn't erase that history for me. I understand colorism, I understand the complexity of Dominican identity, and I recognize my Black and African ancestry.
So when I talk about the type of woman I'm attracted to, I'm speaking from my own experiences, my own culture, and my own taste.
And AWPF isn't trying to pretend otherwise.
Made for the Dance Floor
I also had a very specific audience in mind when I made this record: the women of the exotic-dance world.
I've always appreciated exotic dancing as a form of movement and performance. There's something artistic about the way a woman can control her body, move with the music, command attention, and create an entire atmosphere through dance. It's obviously sensual, but there's also an element of performance and physical expression that I appreciate.
That's my perspective.
Someone else might walk into a strip club and think, Why would anybody spend their money here?
And that's fine.
But that's kind of like asking somebody who doesn't like basketball why somebody else would spend hours watching a basketball game. Different people appreciate different things.
If you're not into it, you're probably not supposed to be in that environment in the first place.
AWPF comes from the perspective of someone who is into it.
Infinitee and I wanted to make something that could live in that environment—something that a woman could actually dance to, something that could make the room move, something built around the physical energy of the dance.
Ultimately, this is a record for the twerk, the dance floor, the club, and the woman who's confident enough to move however she wants to move.
Three Things And Four Words
The chorus is deliberately simple:
Ass.
Waist.
Pretty face.
Those three things basically summarize the physical aesthetic that attracts me.
Then I add:
Curvy body.
Make that ass shake.
Wiggle, just a little.
Drop it down.
It's not supposed to be complicated. The record is supposed to feel immediate.
You hear the beat, you hear the words, and you already know what you're supposed to do.
That's part of the artistry too.
Not every song has to make you stop and analyze the meaning of life. Sometimes music is supposed to make you move.
The Verse
My verse gives the song another layer because, even when I'm making something fun and provocative, I'm still Juro.
I'm talking about money, confidence, intelligence, ambition, faith, and self-preservation.
I say:
"Praise God for my soul / Living good, don't it show / This ain't amateur night, I'm a pro."
That's the mentality behind it.
I'm not approaching music like somebody who's just playing around. I'm an artist, I'm competitive, and I'm confident in what I bring to the table.
"It's the quiet ones you gotta watch out for."
Sometimes the quietest person in the room has the most going on.
AWPF Is About Appreciation
For me, there's a difference between appreciating beauty and pretending you're attracted to something you're not.
I like women.
I like curves.
I like femininity.
I like confidence.
And I like the physical features represented by the title.
Ass. Waist. Pretty face.
That's the aesthetic.
But there's also something bigger happening with the song: I'm taking something that people might consider vulgar and turning it into music, rhythm, performance, and personality.
That's something I've always enjoyed doing with my music—taking an idea and expressing it through my own lens.
AWPF isn't pretending to be a love song. It's not trying to be profound.
It's a Juro record built around attraction, confidence, sexuality, humor, wordplay, and movement.
And sometimes that's exactly what a song is supposed to be.
A Record for the Women Who Dance
The biggest compliment I could get from AWPF isn't necessarily somebody sitting down and analyzing the lyrics.
It's a woman hearing the record and thinking:
"Yeah. This shit makes me wanna dance."
That's the purpose.
I wanted to make something that could give women in the exotic-dance world another soundtrack for what they do. Something they could throw on, catch the rhythm, and express themselves through movement.
Because at the end of the day, music and the human body have always been connected.
We dance to rhythms before we ever understand the words.
AWPF is Juro embracing that side of music.
No dissertation.
No complicated explanation.
Just Ass. Waist. Pretty face.
Turn it up.
Let the song play.
And let her move.
