Intro

The one who told you that a void is filled with another person is lying to you

It's like covering a wound with makeup, it's not visible, but it's felt

You left saying that you got over me

Or: You left saying you moved on from me

You got a new girlfriend

What she doesn't know is that you still

You're watching all my stories

Chorus 1

Baby, what happened? Aren't you very in-love?

The Columbian slang 'tragadito' is used to describe a very strong feeling of attraction towards someone

What are you doing looking for me?

If you know that I don't repeat mistakes

Tell your new baby

That for men I don't compete

To stop throwing

Or: That she should stop throwing (shots at me) / talking about me / coming for me

That at least I had you pretty

Verse 1

To see you with the new one hurt me

But I'm already ready for my thing

Or: But I'm ready to move on / focused on me

What we lived I forgot

Or: I forgot what we had

And that's what got you offended

That my life even improved

Here you're not welcome anymore

Or: You're not welcome here anymore

I saw what your girlfriend threw at me

Or: I saw what your girlfriend said about me

That doesn't even make me angry, I laugh, I laugh

I don't have time for what doesn't contribute

Or: I don't have time for things that don't add value

I already changed my north

Or: I've already changed my path / route / north star / goal

Making money as a sport

Filling the account, the shows

The parking and the passport

Or: My parking spot and my passport

I'm tougher the reports say

Now you want to come back, it shows yes

Wait for me there, because I'm an idiot

You forgot that I'm with another

And that the Bichota is too good for you

Or: And this big-shot / bad bitch is too good for you

Chorus 2

Baby, what happened? Aren't you very in-love?

The Columbian slang 'tragadito' is used to describe a very strong feeling of attraction towards someone

What are you doing looking for me?

If you know that I don't repeat mistakes

Tell your new baby

That for men I don't compete

To stop throwing

Or: That she should stop throwing (shots at me) / talking about me / coming for me

That at least I had you pretty

Verse 2

You left and I went triple M

Better, tougher, lighter

Or: Much better, much tougher, much carefree

Return to you never, you're the bad luck

Or: Never getting back with you, you're bad luck

Because now the blessings rain down on me

And you want to return, I already assumed it

Or: And you want to get back together, I already know it

Liking my photo

Lit: Giving like to my photo

You looking for food outside

Or: You're looking to go out for meals

Me saying that it was monotony

And now you want to return, I already assumed it

Or: And now you want to get back together, I know it

Liking my photo

Lit: Giving like to my photo

You look happy with your new life

But if she knew that you're still looking for me

Chorus 3

Baby, what happened? Aren't you very in-love?

The Columbian slang 'tragadito' is used to describe a very strong feeling of attraction towards someone

What are you doing looking for me?

If you know that I don't repeat mistakes

Tell your new baby

That for men I don't compete

That she doesn't have a good hand

And at least I treated you well

Ovy on the drums

My love, it's just that you've gone so far away

And I don't see from afar anymore, baby

SONG MEANING

TQG – short for Te Quedó Grande or “I was too much for you” – is a fiery reggaeton anthem in which two Colombian powerhouses, KAROL G from Medellín and Shakira from Barranquilla, clap back at an ex who keeps lurking around their social-media feeds. With sharp sarcasm and plenty of swagger, they remind him that patching loneliness with a rebound never heals the real wound. He may parade a new girlfriend, but the lyrics reveal he still checks every story and photo, proving he has not really moved on.

Rather than pine for what was, the singers celebrate glowing up – “triple M: más buena, más dura, más leve” – focusing on career wins, fuller bank accounts, and self-confidence that sparkles brighter than any heartbreak. They refuse to “compete for men,” turning the tables by laughing at jealous comments and declaring the ex no longer welcome in their upgraded lives. The result is a catchy empowerment track that mixes playful taunts with a clear message: sometimes the best revenge is living better, dancing harder, and letting the beat announce your freedom.
