CONTENTS SUMMARY
Te Estoy Correteando (I'm Chasing You)
Te estoy correteando ya sal de mi mente que te quiero ver
Ya van varios días enfermo de ti, dale, ven, cúrame
Cuéntame, ¿qué ha sido de ti?
Extráñame te extraño a ti
I'm chasing you, get out of my mind, I want to see you
I've been sick for several days now, come on, heal me
Tell me, what has happened to you?
miss me I miss you

Have you ever had someone stuck in your head so much that you feel like you're literally chasing them? That's exactly what Latin Mafia and Fred again.. are singing about in "Te Estoy Correteando"! The title itself means "I'm Chasing You," and the lyrics really drive that feeling home. Our singer is practically begging this person to "sal de mi mente que te quiero ver" [get out of my mind, I want to see you]. It's like their mind is playing tricks on them, showing them this person everywhere, and they just want to see them for real!

It gets even more intense because they're feeling physically unwell from missing this person, saying "Ya van varios días enfermo de ti, dale, ven, cúrame" [It's been several days, I'm sick of you, come on, come cure me]. Talk about being lovesick! They're desperate to know "¿qué ha sido de ti?" [what's been up with you?] and admit "te extraño a ti" [I miss you]. It's a really relatable feeling of being completely consumed by thoughts of someone and just needing them to be close. The line "Me va a matar estar sin ti" [It's going to kill me to be without you] might be a bit dramatic, but it perfectly sums up that intense longing.

Hecho Para Ti (Made For You)
¿Qué estoy buscando? No puedo encontrarlo
Odio intentarlo y aunque no puedo ver
Creo que es mejor así
Ciego como Stevie Wonder
What am I looking for? I can't find it
I hate to try and even though I can't see
I think it's better this way
Blind like Stevie Wonder

"Hecho Para Ti" is a song about loving someone who keeps you at a distance. The singer admits he's lost, almost willingly blind to what's going wrong, because facing it feels worse than not knowing.

He knows he became "too much" for this person, too big, too intense, and he's stopped trying to shrink himself back down. Instead he leans into it: he'd rather be hated outright than quietly not loved at all, because at least that's honest.

Underneath the doubt is a simple, repeated claim: he's made for this person, whether or not they want him. The bridge asks for something small in return, just an apology, and insists the love he's offering isn't as heavy as it looks.

Más Humano (More Human)
Que ya quiero bailar y gritar
Que ya no duele igual
Que después de un punto final
Ya no hay más que escribir ni contar
I just wanna dance and scream
It doesn't hurt the same anymore
After a final end
There's nothing else to write or say

This song is all about that weird, complicated feeling after a breakup when the pain starts to fade. The singer is ready to move on, saying, "Que ya quiero bailar y gritar / Que ya no duele igual" (I want to dance and scream / It doesn't hurt the same anymore). The story with this person is completely over, like a book with nothing left to write.

But here's the twist: instead of being bitter, he's actually thankful. He sings that despite all the hurt, the experience made him "más humano" (more human), and he's grateful for it every day. He still looks back on old photos and late-night messages, and admits that the memories, both good and bad, can still get to him. He knows they can't get back together, because trying to love this person now just ruins his peace of mind. It's a song about accepting the past, appreciating the lessons it taught you, and finally being ready to let go.

Julieta (Juliet)
Con sólo una copa de vino
Y una breve charla
Es que yo siempre me descuido
¿Cómo no mirarla?
With just one glass of wine
And a brief chat
It's just that I always let my guard down
How could I not look at her?

This song is all about being completely captivated by someone at a party. The singer from the Mexican group Latin Mafia spots a woman who is just magnetic. After just "una copa de vino" (one glass of wine) and a quick chat, he's hooked. He's obsessed with how she moves, saying "Tú sabes bailar / Se te facilita como el caminar" (You know how to dance / It's as easy for you as walking). The whole song builds this scene of a dance that starts slow and gets more and more intense, until he's ready to risk it all, saying "Vamos, vamos, vamos al cielo / Yo no tengo miedo" (Let's go, let's go, let's go to heaven / I'm not afraid).

What's cool is that it's not just him who sees it. Everyone is watching her. She's the kind of person who "Endulza hasta el agua salada" (Sweetens even salt water). But she's also independent and maybe a little hard to get. The singer knows this might just be a fleeting moment, admitting, "Quiero invitarte a bailar / Pero me vas a olvidar" (I want to ask you to dance / But you're going to forget me). He sees her, she sees him, and he's just waiting to find out "dónde termina el cuento" (where the story ends).

No Digas Nada (Don't Say Anything)
El hombre más desnudo está hablando
El hombre me habla
No digas nada
Creo que la ropa ya está pesada
The most naked man is talking
The man talks to me
Don't say anything
I think the clothes feel heavy now

This song from Mexico's Latin Mafia feels like you're listening to someone's most private, late-night thoughts. The singer describes himself as "El hombre más desnudo" (The most naked man), but he's talking about being emotionally exposed, not literally naked. He wants to get rid of all the heavy baggage, saying "Creo que la ropa ya está pesada" (I think the clothes are already heavy), and just connect with someone on a deeper level, without even needing words.

He's so dependent on this person for his sense of self that he asks, "Si no estás tú / ¿Cómo estoy yo?" (If you're not here / How am I?). He admits he's been broken before and struggles to express himself because he feels he's been silenced in the past. It's all summed up in one perfect line: "Soy quien demuestra como adulto, pero como un niño siente" (I'm someone who acts like an adult, but feels like a child). He's asking for a simple hug to heal him and a moment of peace to forget how hard things have been.

Patadas De Ahogado (A Drowning Man's Kicks)
Tú hueles a vainilla, te quiero
Dale, abrázame otro rato
Déjame te soy sincero
Tiene tiempo que yo trato
You smell like vanilla, I love you
Come on, hold me a little longer
Let me be honest with you
I've been trying for a while

"Patadas de ahogado" is a Spanish idiom for the desperate, flailing kicks of someone who is drowning. LATIN MAFIA and Humbe use it here for a love that feels a little bit like that: intense, a little reckless, and worth every scramble.

The verses move between tenderness ("you smell like vanilla, I love you") and the harder work of staying together: not knowing if it will work out, but swimming anyway, digging in, trying. The chorus repeats a wish to be needed in the smallest and biggest ways, wanting to be asked about, wanting to never be paused.

By the end the song settles into something steadier: buying land together, growing old together, still watering the same flowers. The drowning kicks turn out to be how you learn to swim.

Yo Siempre Contesto. (I Always Answer)
Vuélvelo a hacer
Todo se hace noche
Vuelve a estar acá
Mmm, tú
Do it again
Everything goes dark
Come back here
Mmm, you

"Yo Siempre Contesto" ("I Always Answer") feels like a late-night phone call that refuses to end. Over a hazy, nocturnal beat, Latin Mafia paints two lovers on opposite wavelengths: one asks questions, offers comfort, and keeps the line alive; the other answers only with heavy silence. The lyrics circle around the fear that their bond might fade into darkness—“Todo se hace noche”—unless they both fight to save it.

The song’s dream-logic images—searching for each other in new bodies, promising to return even after death—turn a simple breakup plea into something almost supernatural. It’s a captivating mix of vulnerability and obsession, where love is so intense it insists on surviving time, distance, and even mortality. By the end, that desperation morphs into flight, hinting that running away might be the only way to escape a love that never stops calling.

Siento Que Merezco Más - A COLORS SHOW (I Feel Like I Deserve More - A COLORS SHOW)
Escucha mi voz
Y quédate cerca
Cerca de aquí
Pa' que huelas a mí, yeah
Listen to my voice
And stay close
Close to here
So you smell like me, yeah

This one opens with an instruction rather than a confession. "Escucha mi voz / Y quédate cerca" (Listen to my voice / and stay close), and the reason he gives is stranger and funnier than you expect: "Pa' que huelas a mí, yeah" (so that you smell like me). From there the verse keeps handing things over. "Te doy mi sudor" (I give you my sweat), "Te dedico mis fechas" (I dedicate my dates to you), "Mente, cuerpo y alma" (mind, body and soul), and then an invitation to take a shot at him: "Dale, apúntale a mi pecho" (go on, aim at my chest).

The title turns up as two claims sung in the same breath, and the gap between their sizes is the whole song: "Siento que no beso mal / Siento que merezco más" (I feel like I'm not a bad kisser / I feel like I deserve more). He backs the small claim up with practice hours, "He practicado muchas horas" (I have practiced for many hours), and lets the big one stand there unargued. What he actually wants shows up at the end with the swagger switched off: "No dejes de mirarme / Con ojos de curarme" (don't stop looking at me / with eyes that heal me).

Continuo Atardecer (Continuous Sunset)
Continuo atardecer
Recorre por su piel, yeah
Sabe bien qué hacer
Para verse bien
Ongoing sunset
Runs over her skin, yeah
She knows well what to do
To look good

This song is a whole vibe! It's an anthem for anyone learning to love themselves. Latin Mafia tells the story of a woman who is absolutely glowing with self-confidence. She gets dressed up for herself—"Se arregla para ella misma" (She gets ready for herself)—and goes out with her friends, feeling amazing. The song makes it clear this feeling is something she earned, saying "Aprendió a sentirse siempre como un diez" (She learned to always feel like a ten).

What makes this song so special is how it talks about her past. She's "No le tiene miedo a lo que fue ayer" (not afraid of what was yesterday). The lyrics describe how she turned her pain into strength, suggesting "Sus cicatrices se volvieron lienzos" (Her scars became canvases). She's got a "look de Barbie / Pero es bien cabrona" (Barbie look / But she's a total badass), mixing a cute style with inner toughness. The main point is beautiful and simple: "Qué guapa se ve desde que se quiere tanto" (How beautiful she looks since she started loving herself so much).

Y Como Te Digo Que (And How Do I Tell You That)
¿Cómo te digo que tú me aliviaste?
Si tú no has estado aquí
¿Qué quieres sanar?
¿Cuál es tu necesidad?
How do I tell you that you healed me?
If you haven't been here
What do you want to heal?
What's your need?

Latin Mafia build the whole song around one question that never quite lands: how do you tell someone they healed you? The hook, "¿Cómo te digo que tú me aliviaste?" [How do I tell you that you healed me?], comes back again and again, sometimes cut off mid-sentence at "¿Cómo te digo que-?" [How do I tell you that-?], as if the narrator keeps starting over without finding the words.

The short verses trade explanation for something closer to a request to stay: "Quédate en mi pecho, aquí me cabes" [Stay in my chest, you fit here] and "Que no te acabes nunca" [That you never end]. By the last two lines the question flips - "¿A quién tú tanto debes? ¿Y a quién le debo tanto?" [Who do you owe so much to? And who do I owe so much to?] - turning a private gratitude into something both people might owe each other.

Ciudad De Las Luces (City Of Lights)
Poco a poco estoy
Desarmando lo que soy, yeah
Si fue real, quiero verte una vez más
Solo te puedo encontrar en la ciudad de las luces
Little by little I'm
Breaking down who I am, yeah
If it was real, I wanna see you once more
I can only find you in the city of lights

Latin Mafia invites us on a late-night trip through the neon glow of a mysterious Ciudad de las Luces, where a single, unforgettable dance sparks both wonder and heartache. The singer relives a brief but electric encounter with a stranger who instantly became his whole world. Surrounded by pulsing lights and music, they felt “uno con la situación” - completely fused with the moment - until reality faded and she vanished into the crowd.

Now, every beat and flashing streetlight pulls him back to that night. He is “desarmando lo que soy” - taking himself apart - in order to rebuild the memory of her touch. The city becomes a maze of blurred memories where he keeps searching, hoping to meet her “una vez más.” It is a bittersweet ode to fleeting connections, the way music immortalizes them, and the ache of chasing a perfect moment that may never return.

Me Estoy Cayendo (I'm Falling)
No hace frío
Entrando en enero
Me estoy ardiendo
Me estoy manteniendo
It's not cold
Entering January
I'm burning up
I'm holding on

"Me Estoy Cayendo" ("I'm Falling") runs on a body reading its own temperature. Latin Mafia open with "Me estoy ardiendo" ("I'm burning up"), then walk it back to "Me siento tibio" ("I feel lukewarm") and "Me siento en el medio" ("I feel in the middle") — a voice that can't settle on how much it still feels for someone. The song narrows to a single word, "Tú" ("You"), and a direct ask to be let back in: "Dímelo, que me quieres acá" ("Tell me you want me here"). Only in the last line does the title's admission arrive — "Estuve cayendo" ("I was falling") — turning the whole hot-and-cold back-and-forth into the story of a fall the singer is only now naming.

Julietota
La gente está bellaqueando
Y aun así la gente está mirando
La observan, está bailando
La gente la tiene vacilando y sale
People are getting freaky
And still everyone's watching
They stare, she's dancing
People got her vibing and she heads out

Julietota paints the picture of a fearless party queen who owns the dance floor and refuses to let judgment slow her down. With cherry-flavored vape in hand and tamarind liquor for courage, she blocks out online haters and dazzles every room. The chorus celebrates her magnetic confidence: she is mucho nivel for almost anyone, and anyone who tries to chase or shame her gets shut down quickly. The track is filled with playful slang like bellaquear (to get flirty and dance) and perreo (reggaetón-style grinding), turning the song into an anthem of self-assured fun and unapologetic freedom.

Halfway through, the mood flips to a more reflective vibe. The music slows, the lyrics question how two people drifted apart, and the once-vibrant connection now feels cold and distant. This sudden contrast shows that even the boldest party stars can face insecurity and heartache when the lights go down. In the end, “Julietota” blends energetic nightlife with a bittersweet reminder that confidence on the surface can hide deeper emotional battles underneath.

Pero Me Estoy Acabando. (But I'm Running Out)
Y si ya no siento que estoy preparado
¿Cómo cancelo un sold-outeado?
Si no me mata, me ha formado
Ya sé que es tarde y yo sigo aquí desnudo
And if I no longer feel that I'm prepared
How do I cancel a sold-out show?
If it doesn't kill me, it has shaped me
I already know that it's late and I'm still here naked

Have you ever felt completely drained, even when you're supposed to be on top of the world? That's exactly what Latin Mafia explores in "Pero Me Estoy Acabando." It's a really honest look at feeling burned out and disconnected, even when you have commitments like a sold-out show. The lyrics, "Y si ya no siento que estoy preparado / ¿Cómo cancelo un sold-outeado?" [And if I no longer feel prepared / How do I cancel a sold-out show?], perfectly capture that internal conflict. He's tired, feeling numb, and questioning everything, even asking, "No sé en qué ocupaba mi razón / Tampoco el por qué nada logra mi atención" [I don't know what occupied my reason / Nor why nothing gets my attention].

It feels like he's going through the motions, maybe even performing, but inside he's fading, saying, "Me estoy apagando" [I'm fading out]. There's also this sense of longing for someone, or something, that isn't there, especially when he repeats, "Ya dos shows y no estás aquí" [Two shows already and you're not here]. It's a powerful song about the struggle to keep going when you're exhausted and missing a connection, and it makes you wonder what's really going on in his mind with lines like, "¿Qué estás haciendo con mi mente?" [What are you doing with my mind?].
