El Que Espera (feat. Maluma)

In 'El Que Espera,' Anitta and Maluma explore the complexities and nuances of romantic relationships, particularly focusing on the theme of patience and the rewards it can bring. The song opens with Anitta observing her former lover with his new partner, noting the nervousness and curiosity in his eyes. This sets the stage for a narrative that delves into the idea that while their past attempts at a relationship may have failed, the door is not entirely closed. Anitta's line, 'Pero novia no es esposa,' suggests that current relationships are not necessarily permanent, leaving room for future possibilities.

Maluma's verse adds another layer to the story, reminiscing about their past encounters and the undeniable chemistry they shared. He acknowledges the presence of paparazzi and the public scrutiny they face, yet he remains unfazed. His casual attitude towards his new relationship ('Que yo tenga novia nueva eso nada te quita') implies that his feelings for Anitta are still very much alive. The recurring chorus, 'Así, así, porque el que espera se consigue lo que quiera,' reinforces the central theme that patience and persistence can eventually lead to desired outcomes.

The song's playful and flirtatious tone is underscored by its catchy rhythm and infectious melody, characteristic of both Anitta and Maluma's musical styles. The lyrics suggest a mutual understanding and agreement between the two, as they navigate the complexities of their relationship. The repeated lines, 'Hoy por ti, después por mí,' highlight a give-and-take dynamic, emphasizing that both parties are willing to wait and compromise for the sake of their connection. Ultimately, 'El Que Espera' is a celebration of the art of waiting, the thrill of anticipation, and the belief that good things come to those who wait.
