Verse 1

What happened

I'll tell you

Or: I tell you about it

Don't think that it didn't hurt

Or that I invent it

Or that I made it up

Like this it happened

I had my baby

It was something very special

But I became obsessed

With something that hurt him

Prechorus 1

Thousands of songs in my mind

And he noticed it

And he could see that

And he so many times told me

And I as if nothing

And I acted as if nothing had happened

Chorus 1

Fame is a bad lover

She won't love you truly

She isn't going to love you for real

She's too treacherous

And like she comes, she leaves you

Know that she'll be jealous

I'll never trust her

If you want sleep with her

But never get married

Verse 2

What happened

It has left me awake

It has left me sleepless

I can't even think anymore

Her blood boils

She always wants more

Her ambition stabs

In the chest sharp, it's the worst

Chorus 2

Fame is a bad lover

And she won't truly love me

She's too treacherous

And like she comes, she leaves me

I know that she'll be jealous

I'll never trust her

If I want I sleep with her

But I'm never going to marry her

Bridge

There's no way

That this obsession goes away

Goes away, disappears anymore

I still haven't learned the way

There's no way that it disappears

Chorus 3

Fame is a bad lover

She won't love you truly

She's too treacherous

And like she comes, she leaves you

I know that she'll be jealous

I'll never trust her

If I want I sleep with her

But I'm never going to marry her

SONG MEANING

La Fama turns the spotlight into a seductive villain. ROSALÍA, joined by The Weeknd, spins a cautionary tale where fame is personified as a dangerously attractive lover: glittering, addictive, and fiercely jealous. The narrator admits she once had a “bebé… algo bien especial,” but her growing obsession with hits and applause pushed that real love aside. While melodies flooded her mind, her partner sensed the change, warning her again and again. She brushed it off—until the price of stardom stabbed back like a “puñaladita.”

The chorus delivers the lesson with a catchy punch: “Es mala amante la fama.” Fame will flirt, then flee. It demands total attention, yet promises no true affection. You can share a night with it, the song teases, “pero nunca la vayas a casar.” Beneath the urbano beat and the bilingual back-and-forth, ROSALÍA and The Weeknd remind us that applause fades fast, ambition cuts deep, and the heart left waiting in the dark might be your own.
