8 DIAX finds Colombian artist Feid spinning a vivid tale of a secret fling that feels as fast and risky as a late-night drive through Medellín. The narrator recalls the moment he first tasted forbidden love: a woman wearing his hoodie, sliding into the neighborhood in her boyfriend’s luxurious "Mercho" (Mercedes). As the story unfolds, he discovers that the thoughtful gifts she gave him were actually paid for by the other man – a painful reminder of the love triangle they are trapped in. Yet, instead of backing off, he becomes obsessed, hustling “de noche, de día” (night and day) to rise to her level, even while her friends warn her that he is trouble.
At its heart, the song contrasts material wealth and genuine connection. Although the woman’s official partner can shower her with Nike sneakers and cash, Feid’s character believes his raw passion and daring escapades – cruising through El Poblado, spiking cocktails, and breaking the rules – give her something money cannot buy. “8 DIAX” is therefore a confession of youthful recklessness, desire, and the lengths we’ll go to prove our worth when love feels just out of reach, all wrapped in Feid’s smooth reggaeton flow and catchy hooks.
