Verse 1

It's not that I'm selfish

But before I undress

I need some clue

To know if

If it's also happening to you

The tension is killing you

But you're keeping it to yourself

Chorus 1

I already know where this goes

And I see that it has no way back

I don't know what is your intention

Say it, so that we take action

If you take the step or I take it

Tell me, my love, what's the plan? To see if I get motivated

I don't need anyone else when you're with me

Take me to a place without signal and I get lost with you

After doing it without non-stop, we repeat it

Verse 2

I had promised that I would never love again

You appeared to heal the wounds that left that one

I had that locked with keys and a padlock

But, what do I do? I like you too much

Chorus 2

I already know where this goes

And I'm afraid of another disappointment

I don't want to hurt myself

But you already opened my heart

And now a airplane has more reverse

Tell me, my love, what's the plan? To see if I get motivated

I don't need anyone else when you're with me

Take me to a place without signal and I get lost with you

After doing it without non-stop, we repeat it

Tell me, my love, what's the plan? To see if I get motivated

I don't need anyone else when you're with me

And on an island without signal, there I get lost with you

After doing it without non-stop, we repeat it

SONG MEANING

Feel that electric pull of a brand-new crush? “Nassau” captures the thrilling moment when curiosity, desire and a hint of doubt collide. Over a tropical pop groove, Colombian superstar Shakira plays the voice in all our heads that asks, “¿Cuál es el plan?” She flirts, negotiates and teases, wanting just one clear signal before letting passion take the wheel. The lyrics paint that giddy tension: the body is ready to dive in, yet the heart still checks for safety after past scars.

By the chorus, hesitation melts into heat. Shakira imagines escaping to an island with no phone signal, where it is just two people, endless chemistry and the freedom to hit “repeat” on pleasure and connection. “Nassau” is both a danceable invitation and a relatable confession that even the boldest hearts need reassurance before they leap—then they leap all the way.
