Shakira and Maluma turn up the heat in “Trap,” a steamy pop duet where temptation battles mistrust. Both singers trade lines about a no-strings-attached fling that keeps calling their names. She’s wary—“cansada de desilusiones”—after too many heartbreaks, while he is the unstoppable “dirty boy” who promises thrills in plane cabins, cruise ships, and “diferentes partes.” The push-and-pull creates playful tension: will she give in to the adventure, or protect her heart?
At its core, the song celebrates raw desire and personal agency. Shakira owns her skepticism yet still explores pleasure on her terms; Maluma answers with seductive confidence and clever wordplay. Together they paint a picture of modern romance where attraction is instant, locations are limitless, and emotional boundaries are negotiated in real time. The beat may be laid-back, but the lyrics remind learners that Spanish can get spicy—mixing flirtation, colloquial phrases, and a dash of Colombian swagger.
