Contrato

In 'Contrato,' Maluma delves into the emotional turmoil of a love lost and the struggle to move on. The song opens with a sense of longing and confusion, as Maluma addresses his former lover, expressing how he hasn't heard from her in a long time and how this absence has affected him deeply. The lyrics paint a picture of a man who is unable to enjoy life, even in social settings like a disco, because he is constantly thinking about his ex. This sets the stage for a narrative of heartache and the difficulty of letting go.

The chorus reveals the depth of Maluma's struggle, as he admits that alcohol only exacerbates his feelings, leading him to call his ex unintentionally. He confesses that he tries to find solace in the company of other women, but ultimately, he is searching for his lost love in their kisses. This metaphor of searching for his ex in others' lips highlights the futility and desperation of his attempts to move on. The mention of his ex being with other people adds a layer of jealousy and pain, further complicating his emotional state.

Maluma's plea to 'renew the contract' symbolizes a desire to start over and rebuild the relationship from scratch. He suggests dancing and lowering the tension as a way to reconnect and forget past grievances. The repeated lines about being seen at parties searching for a replacement underscore his inability to find someone who can fill the void left by his ex. The song concludes with a toast to love, acknowledging the transient nature of relationships with the saying, 'What comes easy, goes easy.' This bittersweet ending encapsulates the essence of 'Contrato'—a heartfelt exploration of love, loss, and the hope for reconciliation.
