Colarte comes from the verb colar, which literally means 'to strain' or 'to filter'. However, in informal Spanish, colarse (the reflexive form) means 'to sneak in' or 'to slip in' somewhere without permission or unnoticed.
In the song, the lyrics ask, "¿Qué ganas con colarte siempre en cada canción?" (What do you gain by always sneaking into every song?). This vividly expresses how the memory or presence of the person keeps appearing in the singer's thoughts and emotions, even when they try to move on. It's an engaging and relatable way to describe an intrusive thought or memory.
Qué Ganas is Morat’s witty yet heartfelt confession of post-breakup confusion. The Colombian band paints the moment you run into an ex and instantly feel every lost second. The singer recalls how his life flipped when he first saw her, how her silent goodbye spoke louder than words, and how, despite betting everything on the relationship, it was not enough.
The chorus revolves around the burning question “¿Qué ganas?” (What do you gain?): what does she get from drifting back into his mind, sneaking into every song, and exposing his true feelings whenever he tries to lie about moving on? He lists all he loses—his head, sleep, reason, and voice—while she “steals” his heart over and over. The track captures that bittersweet tug-of-war where love feels like madness, blame is shared, and the ex remains an inescapable melody riding on the wind.
The four of Morat met at school in Bogotá, Colombia, and were playing as Malta by late 2011, renamed before the first record. Juan Pablo Isaza sings and plays guitar, Juan Pablo Villamil plays the banjo that gives their pop its country tilt, and the Vargas brothers hold the bottom end, Simón on bass and Martín on percussion.
They broke out in 2015, first on Paulina Rubio's "Mi nuevo vicio" and then with their own "Cómo te atreves". Sobre el amor y sus efectos secundarios (2016) led to Balas perdidas (2018), a number one in Spain and Mexico with "Besos en guerra" alongside Juanes plus "No se va", which Grupo Frontera's 2022 cover turned into their most-streamed song. ¿A dónde vamos? (2021) and Si ayer fuera hoy (2022) followed, then Ya es mañana (2025), their first Latin Grammy winner, for Best Pop/Rock Album. Its tour opened with six nights at Bogotá's Movistar Arena in August 2026, and a May 2026 duet with Silvestre Dangond, "Lo poco que yo quiero", previews a second volume.
