"Ram Pam Pam" is a reggaeton song  lasting three minutes and twenty-one seconds. Its structure is similar to that of "Sin Pijama", with Gomez taking the first verse and Natasha the second. The pre-chorus at the beginning of the song is done by both. The first chorus is sung solely by Natasha, with Gomez taking the latter half on the rest. Natasha sings the post-chorus after the second chorus and Gomez does the second one after the third. Lyrically, the song is about the girls telling their ex's that they're over them and found someone better. Gomez's verse is about her  ex having "lots of chains" that at the end didn't serve for anything, that he didn't see he "had a queen in front of [him]" and that she's better off without him. Natasha raps about kicking her ex out, not wanting him anymore and having "another that fits better". Her verse includes an interpolation of the line "Llora, nena, llora, llora" (Cry, baby, cry, cry) from "Ella Me Levantó" by Yankee, but with reversed genders, telling him to cry for her. The chorus has the singers saying that they "ha[ve] new boyfriend[s] that do ram pam pam  to them, an euphemism for sex. Music video. Background.
