Intro
You say that you've already forgotten about me
And you erased me from your mind
When I used to give you that pom-pom-pom
You think that I just stayed quiet
And I've got them standing in line
While you're trying to give pom-pom-pom
My bed creaks and creaks
Lit: My bed rings and rings
My bed creaks and creaks
Verse 1
Your key doesn't fit in my lock anymore
Let some other woman put out that heat of yours
Or: Let someone else put out that heat of yours
You don't have a ticket on this flight
There's a party tonight but you don't have a suit
Don't worry, your train has already passed
That's what you get for going around with two
Or: That's what happens when you date two girls at once
The math failed you
And I told you so
My bed creaks and creaks
My bed creaks and creaks
Verse 2
You put yourself in checkmate
Don't think you can buy me
Neither with purses, nor with nail polish
My life changed, it's interesting
That since you're not here, I've got vacancies to spare
My bed creaks, and the memory of you fades away
Or: My bed keeps making noise, and your memory fades away
You thought that I fell into depression
And me? Supposedly living in sorrow
He found out I was single and my Instagram blew up
Right there I saw a DM he'd written on top of everything
And my bed creaks
My bed creaks and creaks
Outro
You say that you've already forgotten about me
And you erased me from your mind
When I used to give you that pom-pom-pom
My bed creaks and creaks
My bed creaks and creaks

jaque mate — checkmate

Jaque mate is the Spanish term for "checkmate," the game-ending move in chess where the king is trapped and cannot escape capture.

KAROL G uses this as a powerful metaphor for the end of a relationship. When she sings, "Te pusiste en jaque mate" (You put yourself in checkmate), she's telling her ex that he made a final, losing move and there's no way for him to win her back. It's a clever and dramatic way to declare a definitive victory.

This song is a fantastic breakup anthem! KAROL G is talking to an ex who cheated on her. He's telling everyone he's over her, but she knows the truth. She sings, "Dices que de mí ya te olvidaste... Cuando yo te hacía pom-pom-pom" (You say you've already forgotten me... when I used to make you go pom-pom-pom). She's calling him out, saying he only thinks she's sitting at home sad about him.

But she's doing the opposite! The whole point of the song is in the chorus: "Mi cama suena y suena" (My bed is creaking and creaking). She's not just moving on, she's having a great time with new people. She tells him his chance is gone with some great lines like "En mi cerradura ya no entra tu llave" (Your key doesn't fit in my lock anymore) and "No te preocupes, tu tren ya pasó" (Don't worry, your train has already left). She even says his cheating backfired: "La matemática a ti te falló" (Your math failed you). It's a powerful and funny track about taking back control after a bad relationship.
