Adicto is a playful yet confessional bachata where Prince Royce and Marc Anthony slip into the shoes of a hopeless romantic who just cannot say no. The narrator hops from a dazzling blonde who speaks several languages to a glamorous Russian ready for a Paris shopping spree, handing out promises and credit-card swipes like candy. His friend keeps warning him that he has already given away almost everything, but the only thing the singer admits is, “Lo reconozco, soy un adicto” – I admit it, I am an addict. The “addiction” here is not to substances but to the thrill of fleeting flirtations, late-night dancing, and the illusion of endless love.
Wrapped in irresistible bachata rhythms, the song captures that tug-of-war between reason and impulse. Royce’s smooth vocals and Marc Anthony’s seasoned advice create a fun back-and-forth: one voice trying to justify his nonstop romantic escapades, the other trying to pull him back to reality. By the final chorus, the listener is left swaying to the guitar and bongos, fully aware that this charming protagonist is caught in a cycle of passion, regret, and repetition – and loving every minute of it.
