Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mala Fama by Danna Paola from Spanish to English.

Fame

Verse 1

They say that I have a bad rep

That I fall in love at night

And it passes in the morning

Blame

I'm sorry, I'm not to blame

Verse 1

That they don't give me enough

I am demanding and the boys get scared

Chorus 1

The first thing is that he's single

Brains would be number two

That he's hot comes third

And plus that he has good humor

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him leave here

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him go

Look, no

I, no, I won't let him loose, no

Chorus 1

That if I left with Maluma, no

They say that Yatra and Ozuna, no

I sleep alone in my bed

And my bad fame doesn't worry me

Verse 2

I do what I want

If I feel like it

Verse 2

I'm not looking for a Romeo

For the weekend

Verse 2

That sells me the stars

Without taking me to heaven

Verse 2

False promises

The wind takes them away

Verse 2

It flies and flies and got lost

If there's a culprit that's not me

If I say no it's because I don't want to

But to the right one I don't put a but

It flies and flies and got lost

If there's a culprit that's not me

If I say no it's because I don't want to

But to the right one

Chorus 2

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him leave here

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him go

Look, no

I, no, I won't let him loose, no

Chorus 2

That if I left with Maluma, no

That if Neymar or that Ozuna, no

I sleep alone in my bed

And my bad fame doesn't worry me

Chorus 3

The first thing is that he's single

Brains would be number two

That he's hot comes third

And plus that he has good humor

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him leave here

Like that, yes

Yes, I want him for me, me

When I find him

I, no, no, I won't let him go

Look, no

I, no, I won't let him loose, no

Me da la gana — Because I feel like it / Because I want to

Me da la gana is a very common and expressive way to say 'because I feel like it' in Spanish. It's much more emphatic and defiant than simply saying 'porque quiero' (because I want to).

In 'Mala Fama', Danna Paola uses it to assert her independence against the gossip surrounding her. She sings, "Yo hago lo que quiero si me da la gana" (I do what I want if I feel like it), making it a powerful statement of self-confidence and a fantastic phrase to add to your vocabulary.

Danna Paola turns the rumor mill into a dance floor with "Mala Fama". Over a playful urban-pop beat she laughs at the whispers that link her to stars like Maluma, Ozuna, or even Neymar, reminding everyone that she actually sleeps alone. Those rumors might give her a "bad reputation", yet they also give her the perfect excuse to list what she really wants: a single, smart, good-looking guy who can keep her laughing.

The heart of the song is unapologetic freedom. Danna refuses to settle for fake promises or quick romances, and she makes it clear that saying "no" never needs an apology. Rather than letting gossip define her, she flips it into a statement of confidence: she does what she wants, when she wants, and she’ll only stick around for someone who truly checks all the boxes. It’s a catchy manifesto of self-worth and female empowerment, perfect for singing at the top of your lungs while brushing off anyone who doubts your choices.
