Mhhmh

Down

Chorus 1

Down

Verse 3

Focused on your heart

On how your anxious heartbeat pounds

Verse 3

The fright was mechanical

It was, it was mechanical, its nervous delirium

Verse 3

I want, actually I don't want

But it stirs up a beautiful panic in me

Verse 3

The fright is going to pass

It, it is going to pass if I stay furious

Chorus 3

One, two, three

Under

Chorus 3

Under

Chorus 3

One, two, three

Down

I go out, give me, give me something

To resist you or to stop you

The fright could, could do more

And it had to come out to knock you down

Let's see if I can handle the fire

But if I surrender I drop very low

The way you walk, and how you walk

Path and shortcut

One, two, three

Under

One, two, three

Down

Focused on your heart

On how your anxious heartbeat pounds

The fright was mechanical

It was, it was mechanical, its nervous delirium

I want, actually I don't want

But it stirs up a beautiful panic in me

The fright is going to pass

It, it is going to pass if I stay furious

One, two, three

Under

Karen Méndez

And Chano!

One, two, three

Under

SONG MEANING

El Susto turns a sudden jolt of fear into a playful dance of adrenaline. Over a pulsing un, dos, tres beat, Chano and Karen Méndez describe that moment when your heart jumps - half panic, half thrill - the instant you feel irresistibly drawn to someone. The constant chorus of arriba and abajo mirrors the roller-coaster in your chest, while the lyrics confess, “I want to… actually I don’t want to,” capturing the push-and-pull between desire and hesitation.

Instead of letting fear freeze them, the singers ride its energy. They count, move, and breathe through the shock until that “beautiful panic” morphs into bold action on the dance floor. El Susto is a reminder that sometimes the quickest way to calm a racing heart is to follow its rhythm, step up, step down, and let the music turn nerves into courage.
