ABOUT THE SONG
“PETONS” by Stay Homas is a playful, upbeat love song about the simple joy of physical affection. Sung in Catalan, the title means “kisses,” and the song focuses on the excitement and attraction between two people who clearly feel the same way. Released in 2023 as part of the album HOMAS, it combines catchy pop rhythms with the band’s characteristic humor and light-hearted energy.
THE ARTIST
Stay Homas are a Barcelona-based musical trio. They first gained international attention during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown, when they began posting original songs recorded from their apartment terrace in Barcelona. Their music blends pop, reggae, funk, Latin rhythms, and Mediterranean influences, often with multilingual lyrics in Catalan, Spanish, and English.
