Imagine catching such a strong “buzz” of love that you feel like you’re living on the moon and flying without wings. That is the vibe of “Nota de Amor,” a joyful collaboration where Colombian icon Carlos Vives and Puerto Rican superstar Daddy Yankee shout from the rooftops how wildly, irresistibly in love they are. Throughout the song they compare their feelings to an adicción, a sweet high that no one can take away, healed by every kiss and powered by tropical rhythms that invite you to dance.
Both singers paint vivid pictures of devotion: buying rings, filling halls with yellow lingerie, signing imaginary love contracts, and valuing a single vallenato dance over diamonds. The chorus keeps circling back to the same idea – they can’t shake this love buzz, and frankly, they don’t want to. “Nota de Amor” is a musical postcard that says, When love feels this good, the whole world turns into a party, and every beat of the song is an excuse to celebrate the one who makes you happiest.
