Mallas translates to "tights" or "leggings". While it might seem like a simple clothing item, its appearance in the lyrics is quite suggestive and playful.
In the song, the line "Se han enfrentado mis vaqueros y tus mallas" (My jeans and your tights have clashed) creates a vivid and slightly provocative image. It implies a close encounter, a playful tension, and a hint of intimacy, making it more interesting than just a common word for clothing.
David Otero's "Loca" is a slow-burn seduction song built around losing control. He sings "Perdiendo la cabeza" [Losing my mind] and "Me quito la camisa" [I take off my shirt], turning a late night into something that spirals past reason. The chorus keeps circling back to one word, "loca" [crazy], as if repeating it were the only way to describe what is happening to him.
The second verse turns the attraction into a standoff: "Se han enfrentado mis vaqueros y tus mallas" [My jeans and your leggings have faced off], a playful way of admitting neither of them is backing down. By the end he is not apologizing for any of it, just watching the night run its course, "volviéndote loca, loca" [driving you crazy, crazy].
