La Bicicleta [Remix] is a joyful love postcard on two wheels. Carlos Vives, Shakira and Maluma invite the listener to hop on a bike, leave worries behind and cruise the Caribbean coast together. The bicycle becomes a symbol of simple, uncomplicated romance: no fancy cars, no explanations, just slow kisses, handwritten notes and a heart that has been “beating for you” for a long time. Over a playful mix of vallenato accordion and urban beats, the singers trade flirtatious lines, promising to keep their adventure private while savoring every moment of the ride.
At the same time, the song is a vibrant shout-out to Colombia. Place names like Santa Marta, Barranquilla and the Tayrona National Park flash by like scenic landmarks on the route, celebrating local culture and landscapes that could make even Barcelona hard to leave. With its catchy chorus, regional references and easygoing vibe, La Bicicleta [Remix] captures the thrill of young love and the pride of showing someone special all the beauty of your hometown—powered only by pedals, rhythm and a smile.
