CONTENTS SUMMARY
Fantasmas (Ghosts)
Del gran sueño
No me quiero despertar
Y me falla
Un poco más mi realidad
From the great dream
I don't want to wake up
And it fails me
A bit more, my reality

Fantasmas turns a house into a time-machine of feelings. Humbe walks through rooms where every corner flashes like an old photo projector: laughter, triumphs, shared drinks, even the ominous circling of vultures over lost dreams. He insists that there are no ghosts here – only the vivid echoes of people and moments that once filled the place with life. The song feels like paging through a scrapbook at 3 a.m. – half-asleep, half-awake – while trying to decide whether to smile or cry.

Beneath its dreamy melody, the track is really a conversation with absence. Humbe wrestles with the pain of distance, the inevitability of death, and the wish for one last toast with someone who is now out of reach. Rather than surrender to despair, he chooses celebration: honoring memories, accepting farewells, and discovering that immortality hides in the stories we keep telling. The result is a bittersweet anthem that turns mourning into music and reminds us that what haunts us often keeps us alive.

Últimamente (Lately)
Últimamente no he sido yo
El pordiosero que pide amor
Buscando sólo tu corazón
Probablemente no sea yo
Lately I haven't been myself
The beggar who asks for love
Searching only for your heart
It probably isn't me

Últimamente invites us into an intimate moment where Italian singer-songwriter Humbe admits he has not been feeling like himself. In a mix of honesty and tenderness he confesses that his anxiety and insecurity keep him from giving his lover the joy she deserves, so he chooses the most generous form of affection: setting her free. He urges her to speak her truth, laugh until her cheeks hurt, and find someone whose mere glance makes her happy while he focuses on rebuilding his own identity. The result is a bittersweet anthem that turns self-doubt into strength and shows that sometimes the greatest proof of love is letting go so both hearts can grow.

Bien Hecho (Well Done)
Debes de saber
Lo que está bien hecho no se va a romper
No se arregla cuando sale
Llegando tarde a todas partes
You must know
What is well made isn't going to break
It doesn't get fixed when it comes out
Arriving late everywhere

Bien Hecho is Humbe’s love manifesto. Over a sleek pop groove, the Mexican singer reassures his partner that anything built with real care is unbreakable. He admits her presence melts his old fears, rewrites painful memories, and turns every element around him—water, fire, air, earth—into a living reminder of their bond. The chorus repeats like a mantra: “Debes de saber, lo que está bien hecho no se va a romper” (“You must know, what is well made will not break”), driving home the idea that genuine love survives lateness, distance, and storms.

The song feels like opening a window during a summer rain. Humbe swings between awe and vulnerability, confessing he can’t remember life before her and would rather burn with passion than settle for something lukewarm. He invites listeners to sign the same pledge: if you nurture love with honesty and intensity, it will hold forever. It is an upbeat reminder that when affection is crafted with attention, it becomes a shield against the past and a spark that keeps the heart blazing bright.

Malbec
Malbec, vino
Red light, hay que parar
Bailas, miro
Todo se queda contigo
Malbec, wine
Red light, we gotta stop
You dance, I watch
Everything stays with you

“Malbec” invites us into a night painted the deep crimson of red wine, where a stoplight’s glow freezes time and two strangers lock eyes across the dance floor. Over a smooth, R&B-tinged beat, Humbe and Reik compare their connection to a glass of Malbec—rich, intoxicating, and impossible to rush. Lines about red light, hay que parar capture that fleeting pause before desire takes over, while the partner’s slow dancing, teasing bites, and playful silence pull the singer out of loneliness and back to his emotional center.

Beneath the flirtation sits a heartfelt confession: each tattoo is a “sign of war,” evidence of past battles that have shaped who they are. When they show their scars to each other, they find acceptance instead of judgment. The song celebrates healing through intimacy—sharing late-night drives, poolside swims, and whispered secrets—until both lovers shine brighter together than they ever could apart. In short, “Malbec” is a toast to passionate escape, mutual vulnerability, and the sweet promise that everything begins and ends in this moment of dance-soaked connection.

Loop
Me tienes en loop
Viviendo en el pasado
Me tienes recordando
Ese baño de espuma
You have me on loop
Living in the past
You have me remembering
That bubble bath

Humbe’s “Loop” captures that dizzy feeling of being stuck on repeat in your own mind, replaying every electric moment with someone who left an unforgettable mark. The singer drifts between steamy bathtubs, volcanic heat and sweet daiquiris, unable to escape the vivid flashbacks that keep him living in the past. Each sensual detail – a naked silhouette, a moonlit dance, a secret trip to Saturn – pulls him back into the same emotional spiral, where longing and euphoria mix like night-time cocktails.

At its core, the song is a love-charged daydream that refuses to end. Humbe paints his memories with cosmic colors, asking for shooting-star showers and “the floor of the sky,” because ordinary reality simply will not do. The track feels like floating through space while wearing the other person’s scent, hoping to fuse together forever and discover hidden parts of yourself in the process. It is nostalgic, passionate and playfully surreal – a musical reminder that some memories are too powerful to hit the stop button.

BANDERA (FLAG)
Desde que te conocí, como no quería no vi
Esos pedazos rojos que tiene tu bandera
Yo quise seguirle, no importa qué fuera
Pequeño episodio que quise vivir
Since I met you, because I didn't want to I didn't see
Those red pieces that your flag has
I wanted to follow it, no matter what it was
Small episode that I wanted to live

“BANDERA” invites us on a thrilling ride through the stormy waters of infatuation. HUMBE, the rising Mexican singer-songwriter, paints the scene with vivid metaphors: red pieces of your flag, a prowling panther, a bewitching siren. From the very first verse he admits that he chose not to see those fiery warnings, surrendering instead to the excitement of a relationship that feels as addictive as it is risky. The song captures that intoxicating moment when passion burns brighter than caution, when you light up someone’s world like a cigarette even while knowing the smoke might sting.

As the track unfolds, the narrator tumbles deeper into the spell. He is “bien amarrado” (tightly tied), mesmerized by a partner who is medio psycho yet impossible to resist. The ship of reason capsizes, leaving him swimming in uncertainty and wondering “¿qué será de mí?” HUMBE’s lyrics blend seduction, danger, and self-reflection, reminding us that ignoring red flags can be exhilarating for a moment, but eventually you are left floating, breathless, and not quite sure where the current will carry you next.

Armagedón (Armageddon)
Como quisiera regresar a ver el cielo en París despejado
Atinarle a la fecha para ir
Sincronizar mis días con la fotosíntesis, mmm
Y crecer sin calor es vivir marchito
How I'd love to go back to see the clear sky in Paris
To nail the date to go
To sync my days with photosynthesis, mmm
And growing without warmth is living wilted

Armagedón turns the idea of apocalypse on its head. HUMBE imagines the end of everything as a chance to reclaim beauty: a clear Parisian sky, days that sync with nature’s rhythm, and growth fueled by genuine warmth. Even when “the sky is falling,” he can still spot the sun and hear his lover’s laughter in the rain. The song suggests that what really matters at the brink of collapse is sharing a slow, fearless moment with someone you love.

In this “happy Armageddon,” Paris becomes a symbolic backdrop—the city of love deserving one last tribute. HUMBE asks to be remembered through the vivid explosion of a supernova, transforming finality into color, energy, and hope. It is a poetic reminder that love can turn the ultimate ending into a brilliant beginning.

SAGITARIO A* (SAGITTARIUS A*)
Miento, no me contengo
No tengo la paciencia y quiero
Que regresemos a ser igual
Que todo vuelva a ser normal
I lie, I don't hold back
I don't have the patience and I want
that we go back to being the same
that everything goes back to being normal

Ever felt like your heart got trapped by a super-massive force? “SAGITARIO A*” borrows its title from the black hole at the center of our galaxy, and Humbe turns that cosmic pull into a love story. The Mexican singer confesses that he is gravitationally stuck to a past relationship: he still carries a photo in his wallet, can’t stop replaying old memories, and even likens himself to a bee glued to honey. Every line shouts I want everything to go back to normal, but the more he wants it, the deeper he falls into the emotional black hole created when the other person left.

Through catchy melodies and vivid images, Humbe paints the stages of post-breakup addiction—sweet nostalgia, frantic desire, and finally the dizzying realization that nothing feels the same anymore. The song is a bittersweet anthem for anyone who’s tried (and failed) to reclaim their “perfectly calibrated” past, only to notice that “todo cambió” once the other person was gone. Listeners are left orbiting between hope and heartbreak, vibing to a tune that’s as irresistible as the gravity of Sagitario A* itself.

TINTO DE VERANO (SUMMER RED WINE)
Tú tómame
Soy tinto de verano
Que no sientas el invierno en todo el año
Con medida, que no te haga daño
You take me
I'm summer red wine
So that you don't feel the winter all year
In moderation, so it won't hurt you

Tinto de Verano is Humbe’s fizzy invitation to love that tastes like a chilled red-wine cocktail on a blazing afternoon. The Mexican singer pictures himself as that refreshing drink: sweet, light, and powerful enough to keep winter feelings away all year. He flirts with zodiac signs, promises he is extraordinario, and offers a bottomless “manantial” of affection that can cool any heat.

Behind the breezy vibe, though, Humbe is looking for more than a casual sip. He asks for honesty and constancy, eager to hear the simple phrase “Contigo quiero estar” and to know he is not just a backup plan. The lyrics mix playful imagery (honey-collecting bees, cosmic chemistry) with vulnerability as he admits to overthinking and spinning in love. In short, the song raises a sparkling glass to mutual commitment: drink from my fountain, stay for the finale, and let’s turn every season into an endless summer together.

ASTROS ݁⋆ ★ ˚。⋆
Ya no me alcanza mi inteligencia emocional
Ya está muy cansada, parada en tiempo, congeló el mundo
A veces tan cerrada
Tengo que ver hacia atrás, tengo que ver hacia atrás
My emotional intelligence isn't enough anymore
It's already so tired, frozen in time, it froze the world
Sometimes so closed off
I have to look back, I have to look back

HUMBE’s ASTROS ݁⋆ ★ ˚。⋆ turns heartache into a sci-fi adventure. The Mexican singer paints a universe where his emotional batteries are drained, yet he still waits for the stars to realign so he can reunite with the person who knows him “por dentro.” Between cosmic metaphors and city-lit imagery, he admits how lost he feels without them, asking the heavens to synchronize once more and ignite the streets with their combined energy.

As the beat rises, so does the scale of the love story: outsiders want to see them crash, but HUMBE promises to move an entire planet for this perfect duet. Their bond morphs into an unbreakable empire, an army marching “en nombre de ti.” Passion, though, is double-edged; by the final lines the garden he opened burns in flames, hinting that every supernova has its fallout. The song lets you dance among the constellations while reflecting on how powerful and perilous true connection can be.
