CRIMINAL (feat. Fred De Palma)

Ana Mena's song 'CRIMINAL,' featuring Fred De Palma, delves into the intense and often perilous nature of obsessive love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is both intoxicating and destructive, likening the emotions involved to criminal acts. The metaphor of a 'melodía criminal' (criminal melody) suggests that the allure and danger of this love are as compelling as they are harmful. The repeated references to guns and violence, such as 'dispárame esta noche' (shoot me tonight) and 'saca la Glock y dispara' (take out the Glock and shoot), emphasize the lethal intensity of their connection.

The song also explores the theme of addiction, with lines like 'de tu cuerpo soy adicto' (I am addicted to your body) and 'probaste mi veneno y el sabor te gustó' (you tasted my poison and liked the flavor). This addiction is not just physical but emotional, as the characters find themselves unable to break free from each other despite knowing the relationship is unhealthy. The mention of 'Aventura' and their famous song 'Obsesión' further underscores this theme, drawing a parallel to another well-known narrative of consuming love.

Cultural references enrich the song's narrative, with nods to iconic figures like Tony Montana from 'Scarface' and Carlito from 'Carlito's Way,' both of whom are emblematic of the dangerous allure of the criminal underworld. These references serve to heighten the sense of danger and excitement that permeates the song. The interplay between Ana Mena and Fred De Palma's voices adds to the dramatic tension, making 'CRIMINAL' a compelling exploration of the darker side of love and desire.
