With SAIKO

Lokecesitas ignites the dance floor with a confident promise: “I’ll give you exactly what you need.” Saiko, the rising Chilean artist, teams up with Puerto Rican hit-maker Omar Courtz to paint a late-night scene full of heat, luxury cars, diamond-bright club lights, and head-spinning chemistry. The lyrics follow a flirty back-and-forth where both singers offer escape from heartache, pledging to show up “de one” (right away) whenever the girl calls. Amid playful Spanglish, they celebrate her allure—red eyes without smoking, curves that “want to explode,” and a magnetism that makes everyone in the club stare—while hinting at deeper comfort for someone who has “time being sad.”

Beneath the flashy images lies a simple message: desire can be empowering when it is mutual, attentive, and full of fun. Saiko and Omar promise spontaneity, respect, and total presence—arriving with condoms, compliments, and a readiness to turn ordinary moments into starlit adventures. In short, the song is a seductive invitation to forget your worries, trust the vibe, and let the right person give you lo que necesitas—everything you need for one unforgettable night.

Do Something
Desde que amanecemos
Pero ya no hay empleo me cuido pila de
Traiciones veo se volvió una
Prioritana de lo que hacen es por
since we woke up
but there is no longer a job, I take care of myself, a pile of
betrayals I see became one
priority of what they do is

Saiko's "Do Something" is all about the hustle and the struggle to make it when opportunities are scarce. He talks about waking up every day and facing the reality that "ya no hay empleo" [there's no more work]. It's a tough world where he sees "pila de traiciones" [lots of betrayals] and people acting out of self-interest.

He emphasizes that you have to go out and get what you want because "nadie a tu casa lo va a llevar" [no one is going to bring it to your house]. Saiko also touches on the temptation of "el mal camino" [the wrong path] and "planes clandestinos" [clandestine plans] which cause him anxiety, but he asserts his self-control and respect. He believes his talent "vale más que un Grammy" [is worth more than a Grammy] and he's staying true to himself despite the challenges and the envy he faces. He's not forgetting those who didn't support him when he was down, making it clear he won't share his success with them later.

Supernova
No entiendo si estás con alguien ¿por qué me hablas?
Si ya habían pasado meses ¿por qué haces esto?
Parece que quieres hacerme daño quizás
Eche de menos la forma en que me matas lento
I don't understand if you're with someone, why do you talk to me?
If months had already passed, why do you do this?
It seems you want to hurt me, perhaps
I missed the way you slowly kill me

Ever been confused by mixed signals from an ex? Saiko's "Supernova" dives right into that feeling. The song is a raw and emotional look at a relationship that's over, but not quite gone. The singer is confused and hurt because his ex, who is now with someone else, only contacts him late at night, usually after drinking. He feels like she's playing with his emotions, messaging him and then hiding their chats from her new partner. He sings, "I don't understand, if you're with someone, why do you talk to me?"

Despite the pain, he's still caught up in the memories of their time together. He recalls fleeting, beautiful moments, like her fingers drawing a heart on his back, and admits to feeling intense jealousy at the thought of never seeing her again. The song also touches on how their personal story became public. He mentions writing another hit song, "Polaris," about her, which became famous in Spain. This adds a unique layer to his heartbreak, as their private past is now part of his public success. He's left wondering who hurt her so badly that she seems unable to feel anything real anymore.

Fantasmita (Little Ghost)
Yeah-yeah-eh
Yeah-yeah-eh
Varios días que no te ven por ahí
Estaba escondía' fantasmita, ¿dónde está'?
Yeah-yeah-eh
Yeah-yeah-eh
Several days without seeing you around
You were hiding, little ghost, where are you?

Have you ever tried to get in touch with someone who just vanished? That's what Saiko, Ninow, and Candy are singing about in "Fantasmita"! The song is all about trying to reconnect with someone who's become a bit of a ghost, or a "fantasmita" [little ghost].

The singers are wondering where this person has been, saying, "Varios días que no te ven por ahí, estaba escondía' fantasmita, ¿dónde está'?" [Several days they haven't seen you around, you were hidden, little ghost, where are you?]. They're even checking Instagram, but there's no new content! It seems like this person used to be closer, maybe even coming over to take off their shirt, as the lyrics mention, "Antes te venías pa' casa y te quitaba la cami" [Before you used to come home and I'd take off your shirt]. Now, they're just not answering calls or texts, leaving the singers feeling like they're talking to a mystery, "Pero tú eres un misterio como los de Shaggy" [But you are a mystery like Shaggy's]. Despite the frustration, there's still a strong desire to do "cositas malas" [bad little things] with this elusive person. It's a fun, catchy song about that frustrating feeling when someone you like just disappears!

NÚMERO TELEFÓNICO (PHONE NUMBER)
Esto se volvió necesario
Sé que tengo varias y tú tienes varios
Pero cuando nos unimos siempre es legendario
Ese culo se merece un salario
This became necessary
I know I've got several and you've got several
But when we get together it's always legendary
That ass deserves a salary

Número Telefónico is a playful, no-time-to-waste anthem where Saiko and Mora turn a simple request for a phone number into a high-voltage flirtation. The singers admit they both have other options, yet the chemistry they spark when they meet feels legendary, so they want to lock it in before the night slips away. Every line drips with urgency: grab the digits, skip the small talk, and dive straight into an unforgettable rendezvous.

Throughout the track, vivid images of passion and daring promises keep the energy sky-high. There is talk of lollipops, candle-lit attics, and scratched backs, painting a scene that is equal parts seductive and mischievous. Beneath the bold bravado, though, lies a simple truth: these two don’t know if they will see each other again, so they live for the moment. “Pass me your phone number and the rest will be historic” becomes their mantra—a celebration of spontaneous desire and the thrill of turning one night into a legendary memory.

Extasisssssss (Ecstasysssss)
Na-na-na, siempre vuelves como las olas del mar
Ojalá nunca sepas qué se siente despertar
Sintiendo que ya no sientes nada
En el mar, anestesia, y en el jet ski dando vueltas
Na-na-na, you always come back like the waves of the sea
I hope that you never know what it feels like to wake up
Feeling that you no longer feel anything
In the sea, anesthesia, and spinning on the jet ski

Saiko opens with a hook that sounds sweet and stings a little: "siempre vuelves como las olas del mar" (you always come back like the waves of the sea). Then comes the line that sets the mood for the whole song: "Ojalá nunca sepas qué se siente despertar sintiendo que ya no sientes nada" (I hope you never know what it feels like to wake up feeling that you don't feel anything anymore). So this is a summer song with a hangover. The beach, the jet ski and the moon are all there, but the narrator is numb.

The title is éxtasis stretched out with extra s's, and the song plays with both meanings: ecstasy as pure pleasure and as the drug. "Colores en el cielo del paladar" (colours on the roof of my mouth) is a clever twist, because el cielo del paladar is literally "the sky of the palate", the Spanish name for the roof of your mouth. "Sentí que era éxtasi' hasta con ropa" (it felt like ecstasy even with clothes on) is blunt about the attraction. A fun detail for learners: Tuenti was a Spanish social network from the 2000s, so "como en 'Tuenti'" is a nostalgic nod to old profile photos, and Miata is the Mazda sports car with pop-up headlights, which is why her glowing eyes are compared to it. My favourite small heartbreak: "Ya no me saca de su playlist" (she still hasn't taken me off her playlist).

Siempre Vas A Volver (You’ll Always Come Back)
Pero te pienso y sé que
Te deseo lo mejor
Y que algún día encuentre' a alguien mejor que yo
Que sepa cuidar lo que el odio separó
But I think about you and I know that
I wish you the best
And that someday you'll find somebody better than me
That knows how to care for what hate tore apart

Siempre Vas A Volver is Saiko’s bittersweet confession that some romances feel like boomerangs: no matter how hard you throw them away, they keep coming back. Over a sleek Chilean urban beat, the singer admits his faults, wishes his ex the best, yet can’t shake the certainty that both of them will circle back to the place where they were once happiest. It’s a tug-of-war between pride and vulnerability, fueled by late-night messages, hotel-room memories, and the hope of becoming “better than my yesterday.”

The chorus turns that hope into a mantra: Siempre vas a volver—you will always return. Saiko blends regret, desire, and a splash of swagger (he’s “in Serie A” now) to paint love as a high-voltage loop. The song ultimately asks: can two imperfect people break the cycle, or are they destined to repeat it? Until the answer arrives, the beat keeps pulsing and the heart keeps hoping.

ÁNGEL DE LA GUARDA (PÓSTUMO) (GUARDIAN ANGEL (POSTHUMOUS))
No llores por mí
Que aunque ya no esté
Puedo verte ahí
A través
don't cry for me
that even though it is no longer there
I can see you there
through

Saiko, an artist from Chile, gives this song the voice of someone who has died but still watches over the person they love. The speaker says, “No llores por mí” [Don’t cry for me], then promises, “A través de ti yo soy” [Through you, I am]. That idea makes the song feel like a farewell and a message of guidance at once. The person left behind is told to keep walking, accept falling, and even “Toca fondo y celebra” [Hit rock bottom and celebrate]. It is a blunt, surprising way to say that surviving a difficult moment is already something worth recognizing.

The guardian image becomes clearer in the chorus: “Soy tu ángel de la guarda, cuidando tu espalda” [I am your guardian angel, watching your back]. Polaris, the North Star, is offered as a guide when the listener loses their direction, while a shoulder remains available for tears, even after death. The speaker also asks them to let go and keep living, grow, fly, and perhaps find someone who gives them “el mundo entero” [the whole world]. Stars are placed in the sky so the person can remember them at each new dawn. The mention of an altar and unfinished plans adds a sad detail: they did not have enough time together, and the living person must finish the journey alone, carrying love instead of waiting for the past to return.

ESKELETO (SKELETON)
Tenemos una playlist conjunta
Solo pa' meter las canciones de cuando chingamos
La suite reservamo', el 'no molestar' lo colgamo'
Tú sabes que aquí no hay bombones ni ramo'
We have a shared playlist
Just to add the songs from when we f*ck
We book the suite, we hang the 'Don't Disturb'
You know there's no chocolates or bouquets here

Get ready for a wild ride with "ESKELETO" by Saiko and Bryant Myers! This song is all about intense, no-holds-barred passion and a connection that's purely physical and undeniably strong. The artists describe a relationship where the only playlist they share is for "cuando chingamos" [when we make love], and they're not about romantic gestures like "bombones ni ramo'" [chocolates or bouquets].

They're not shy about the explicit nature of their encounters, with lines like "Tan dentro que siento hasta el esqueleto" [So deep that I feel it to the skeleton] and "Adentro de tu selva, húmedo, nunca está seco" [Inside your jungle, wet, never dry]. It's a raw, unfiltered look at a powerful physical attraction that's almost addictive, with one artist even saying, "Eres esclava de mi cama" [You are a slave to my bed]. They're confident in their ability to satisfy, boasting that "Nadie te chinga como yo te follo" [Nobody fcks you like I fck you]. It's a bold and direct anthem for a purely carnal connection.

Sikora
Siempre me lía y no sikora, de cora'
Te pondría anillos pandora, la boda
La tendría sólo por las noches
Pa' hacerte sólo mi señora
I always bundle up and not sikora, heartily
I would put pandora rings on you, the wedding
I would only have her at night
To make you only my lady

Dive into the world of Saiko's "Sikora," a track that captures the intense, dizzying feeling of a modern romance. The singer describes a relationship that is both passionate and a little overwhelming, summed up in the line "Siempre me lía y no sikora, de cora'" (She always gets me tangled up, but it's from the heart). He's completely captivated by an older woman from Medellín, admiring everything from her "smiley" piercing to her unique style, calling her a rare collector's item, a "shiny." Their connection is electric and physical, with memories of passionate nights in the back of a car and afterparties in her room.

Despite the intensity, there's a hint of caution as he hopes he doesn't fall for her too hard. The relationship exists in a world of luxury and dreams, with promises of Pandora rings and trips to Bora Bora. It's also a long-distance affair, marked by his frequent travels and their communication through social media DMs. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of two people who can't stay away from each other, even if she had an "casi algo" (almost something) with someone else before their desires took over.
