Committed Lyrics in English by Rauw Alejandro, Pharrell Williams
While comprometer looks like the English word "compromise," it most often means "to commit." This is a classic "false friend" that often trips up English speakers learning Spanish!
In the song, Rauw Alejandro sings "Baby, yo me quiero comprometer contigo" (Baby, I want to commit to you), directly echoing the English title "Committed." This verb is key to understanding the song's theme of deciding whether to get serious in a relationship.
Get ready for a song that redefines the word "commitment"! Rauw Alejandro and Pharrell Williams aren't talking about marriage vows here. Instead, they're laying out a very specific, very physical kind of dedication. Pharrell kicks things off with a list of promises that are both intense and surprisingly romantic. He's not just talking about sex; he's talking about being reliable, discreet, and making time for her in his busy life, even if it means "sharin' my calendar."
Rauw then comes in with a Spanish verse that shows he's been caught off guard by his feelings. He admits, "Tú me pones a pensar, ma' / Si me debo amarrar" [You make me think, ma' / If I should tie myself down]. For him, this connection is so powerful that it makes perfect sense when they're together: "En la cama nuestros cuerpos / Descubiertos hacen sentido" [In bed our naked bodies / make sense]. He even confesses that he's thinking about her constantly, something he hasn't felt in a long time. The song is a fun, confident declaration of wanting someone so much that you're ready to commit, at least in the bedroom.
