Contrato invites us into a neon-lit night in Medellín where Maluma wrestles with the aftershocks of a breakup. Drinks are flowing, the club is packed, yet his mind is stuck on the one who got away. Every toast, every beat, every pair of lips becomes a failed attempt to replace her. The Colombian superstar flips between swagger and vulnerability: he brags, he drinks, he pretends to party, but the truth slips out whenever he dials her number “sin querer queriendo.”
Under the catchy reggaetón rhythm, the song paints love as a contract Maluma is desperate to renegotiate. “Bajemos la tensión y subamos el balcón” is his playful proposal to restart, wipe the slate clean, and sign up for round two. Street slang like “parceras,” “pirobos,” and “está cabrón” keeps the lyrics rooted in his paisa culture, while the chorus turns heartache into a dance-floor anthem. In short, Contrato is both a confession and a comeback attempt: a smooth mix of Colombian vernacular, late-night longing, and Maluma’s signature charm.
