Complicándola is a gerund form of the verb complicar (to complicate), with the direct object pronoun la (it/her) attached. This structure is common in Spanish and interesting for learners.
In the song, the artist sings, "Asà no quieras, siempre termino buscándola, Complicándola, quiero verte ya." He's admitting that even when he shouldn't, he ends up looking for her and, in doing so, "complicating things" or "complicating her situation" (or even "complicating her"). It perfectly captures the messy, on-again-off-again dynamic of the relationship described in the lyrics.
Have you ever had a few drinks and suddenly felt the urge to call someone you probably shouldn't? That's exactly what this song is about. Manuel Turizo sings about a cycle he can't seem to break. He says, "Vuelvo y caigo otra vez / Como cae la noche" (I fall again / Like the night falls), admitting this is a recurring problem for him. The trigger? Alcohol. He loses all his self-control, confessing, "Yo pierdo la autoridad con unas copas de más" (I lose control with a few extra drinks).
What happens next is a classic late-night phone call. He knows it's not a good idea and that they're not meant for a real relationship, stating bluntly, "para relaciĂłn no nos da" (a relationship won't work for us). He's just calling because he wants to see her tonight. It's a super relatable story about giving in to temptation, even when you know you're just making things complicated for yourself and someone else.
Manuel Turizo was studying to be a veterinarian in MonterĂa, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, when a song he and his older brother Julián put out themselves in 2016 took over Latin radio. "Una Lady Como TĂş" sets Julián's ukulele against Manuel's low baritone, and its video has since passed two billion views on YouTube. He was sixteen then, born in MonterĂa in April 2000 into a family of musicians.
His debut album ADN (2019) reached number eight on Billboard's Top Latin Albums with Ozuna, Nicky Jam, Anuel AA and Sech along for the ride, and "Sola" gave him his first Latin Airplay number one. Dopamina followed in 2021, then 2000 in 2023, the album built around "La Bachata": number six on the Billboard Global 200, number one in Spain, and fifteen weeks atop the Argentina Hot 100. He has recorded with Marshmello ("El Merengue") and Shakira ("Copa VacĂa"), and his fifth album Apambichao, released in April 2026, goes back to Colombian merengue and vallenato with Maluma on the title track.
