“Mala Costumbre” throws us straight into the roller-coaster of a love that feels more like an addictive vice than a healthy romance. Colombian star Manuel Turizo teams up with Puerto Rican power duo Wisin & Yandel to paint the picture of a couple who can’t quit each other: they swear they’re done, the door slams… yet somehow it always swings back open. The lyrics confess a tug-of-war between reason and desire, where every kiss scrambles the singer’s thoughts and every reunion relights a fire he knows is bad for him.
At its core, the song uses the phrase mala costumbre—“bad habit”—to describe that toxic cycle of leaving, longing, and inevitably returning. No matter how many promises to walk away, the chemistry is too strong, the memories too tempting, and the temptation too familiar. With smooth reggaeton beats pumping beneath confessional verses, “Mala Costumbre” captures the thrill and the frustration of a love you know you shouldn’t want, but can’t help craving all the same.
