In the summer, Maluma dropped “Sobrio,” his first official single of the year, alongside a star-studded music video that featured Scott Disick, Saweetie and more celebs.
This week, the song, the title of which translates to ‘sober,’ hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart, becoming the Colombian artist’s 21st leader.
Penned by Maluma, Édgar Barrera, Kevyn Mauricio Cruz, Alejandro Robledo, Filly Andres Lima and Lenin Yorney Palacios, “Sobrio” is about a person who can’t get over their ex and drunk dials them for some serious love confessions.
The official music, helmed by director Jessy Terrero, has racked over 125 million views since it dropped on July 8.
“Maybe in the near future I’ll do a remix with a global star like I did with The Weeknd [on ‘Hawái’],” he previously told Billboard. “The song is just starting to grow. People love it just the way it is.”
Below, read the full lyrics translated to English:
I want to take advantage now that I’m drunk
To tell you all the things that I have kept for myself
I know this isn’t a time to call but I saw you online
And I just wanted to confirm if you’re still my girl
I’m sorry
You know that it’s difficult for me to say what I feel
But a drunk person doesn’t lie, baby, I regret it
Seriously, to apologize I have to be drunk
Because sober, I can’t (no, no, no, no)
That’s why I’m calling you
I have the need to know how you’re doing
And if you still love me, I’ve tried
But I can’t sober
That’s why I’m drinking
I have the need to know how you’re doing
And if you still love me, I’ve tried
Baby, I’m sorry, I know this isn’t the time
But the drinks don’t help
I want to know if you’re laughing or crying
If you’re with someone or alone
On my end, I don’t do anything else but miss you
I’m supposedly drinking to forget you
But it’s obvious
That it hurts me when you hate me
In the end, I wasn’t that bad of a boyfriend
I think of you when I’m drunk and I hide it when I’m sober
I wanted to marry you
But you’re turning this into a wake
When I drink, I send my pride to hell
Because sober, I can’t (no, no, no, no)
That’s why I’m calling you
I have the need to know how you’re doing
And if you still love me, I’ve tried
But I can’t sober
That’s why I’m drinking
I have the need to know how you’re doing
And if you still love me, I’ve tried
I want to take advantage
Yah-yah, yeah-yeah, ja, ja (now that I’m drinking)
Dirty no, baby (To tell you all the things that I have kept for myself)
Maluma, ba-ba-baby, once again (I know this isn’t a time to call)
Dímelo, Edge, Edge (but I saw you online) Keityn
I love you, baby (And I just wanted to confirm if you’re still my girl)
El baby de las babies
Ah, Maluma, baby, muah
