"Dile a Él" (transl. "Tell Him") is a song recorded by Puerto Rican singer Rauw Alejandro for his debut studio album, Afrodisíaco (2020), featuring uncredited background vocals from Spanish singer Rosalía.
A Spanish language mid-tempo "dark" reggaeton ballad, it addresses the singer's ex-girlfriend who has broken up with him to be with another man.
"Dile a Él" has been met with widely positive reviews from music critics. Okdiario staff labeled the track "one of the most spectacular songs" included in Afrodisíaco, while Los 40's Ignacio Videla described it as "one of the hits" from the album.
Following the release of Afrodisíaco, "Dile a Él" debuted and peaked at number 59 in Spain on November 22, 2020, as an album track. It was later certified platinum by the Productores de Música de España (PROMUSICAE), for track-equivalent sales of over 60,000 units in the country. The song debuted at number 42 on the US Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart on August 7, 2021, becoming Alejandro's 22nd entry. On August 28, 2021, the track reached its peak of number 38.

Si ya 'tás con otro, no respondo si te veo
¿Que ya no piensa' en mí? mírame a los ojos, que no te creo
Tú dices que no me amas, pero extrañas mi cama
Bebé, tú dile a él que ante' que todo yo fui el primero, yeah
