“Me Tiene Mal” is Paulo Londra’s playful confession that he’s head-over-heels for a girl who has completely hijacked his thoughts. From the very first “Hey, nena te necesito,” the Argentine rapper paints himself as a lovesick hero stumbling through real-life magic: he blushes “a lo tomate,” memorizes her favorite books, and would even surrender a whole liter of Fernet just to win her over. Every verse circles back to the same obsession: he can’t study, can’t relax, and definitely can’t stop replaying the way she walks.
Under the upbeat reggaetón groove, the lyrics capture that universal feeling of craving someone so intensely that the rest of the world fades out. Paulo mixes humor with sincerity—calling her a laser-eyed enchantress, half heroine and half heart-thief—while admitting he’s stuck in the friend zone and desperate to break free. In short, the song is an energetic ode to crushing hard, where love feels both exhilarating and a little torturous, leaving the singer joyfully dazed and deliciously “mal.”
Paulo Ezequiel Londra (born April 12, 1998, in Córdoba, Argentina) is a renowned Argentine rapper, singer, and songwriter known for his melodic style within the urbano and Latin trap genres. Inspired by Eminem's film 8 Mile, Londra began his musical journey freestyling publicly at age 14, developing a distinctive sound that steers clear of common urban themes like violence and drugs.
Londra rose to fame with hit singles such as Cuando Te Besé (featuring Becky G) and Adán y Eva, both topping Argentina's Billboard Hot 100 chart. His debut album Homerun (2019) and subsequent collaborations with global stars like Ed Sheeran have solidified his status as a leading figure in Latin American music. Despite legal challenges impacting his career, Londra continues to be celebrated for his positive and unique approach to urban music.
