Verse 1
Stop lying to yourself
The photo that you uploaded with him saying that he was your heaven
Babe, I know you so well, I know that it was to make me jealous
I won't tell you who, but crying for me they saw you
For me they saw you
Let me tell you
You can see that he treats you well, that he's a total gentleman
But that won't change that I arrived first
I know that you'll do well but
He doesn't love you how I love you
Chorus 1
It can be that you don't lack nothing, apparently nothing
Or: Maybe you're not missing anything, apparently nothing
Hawaii on vacations, my congratulations
Very beautiful on Instagram what you post
So that I see how you're doing, so that I see
It can be that you don't lack nothing, apparently nothing
Hawaii on vacations, my congratulations
Very beautiful on Instagram what you post
So that I see how you're doing well, but you're hurting yourself
Or: I see how well you're doing, but you're yourself doing wrong
Because love isn't bought with anything
Verse 2
Lie to all your followers
Tell them that times now are better
I don't believe that when I call you, you ignore me
If after me there won't be more loves
You and I were one
We did it fasting before breakfast
We smoked the hookah and I passed you the smoke
And now in this war nobody wins
If you ask me, nobody has fault
Or: If you ask me, it's nobody's fault
Sometimes problems come together
Or: Sometimes one's problems come together
Let me speak, please, don't interrupt me
If I did something wrong to you, then forgive me
People are going to believe it
You act well that role
But you're not happy with him
Chorus 2
It can be that you don't lack nothing, apparently nothing
Or: Maybe you're not missing anything, apparently nothing
Hawaii on vacations, my congratulations
Very beautiful on Instagram what you post
So that I see how you're doing, so that I see
It can be that you don't lack nothing, apparently nothing
Hawaii on vacations, my congratulations
Very beautiful on Instagram what you post
So that I see how you're doing well, but you're hurting yourself
Because love isn't bought with anything

SONG MEANING

Hawái is Maluma’s slick postcard from a breakup gone digital. The Colombian superstar sings to an ex who posts dreamy vacation shots from Hawaii, flaunting a picture-perfect new romance on Instagram. He knows the photos are really staged to spark his jealousy, so he calls her out: “Deja de mentirte… sé que fue para darme celos.” Behind the palm-tree filters and congratulatory comments, he senses her tears and remembers their fiery past, insisting that no gentleman can love her the way he once did.

Hawái is a catchy lesson in modern heartbreak, where social media filters can’t hide real emotions. Maluma mixes playful confidence with vulnerable confessions while exploring themes like:

  • Love vs. Appearances: Online perfection looks great, but true feelings surface off-camera.
  • Jealousy & Pride: Both exes try to win the breakup, yet neither truly wins.
  • Self-Reflection: He admits his own faults and asks for forgiveness, proving that likes and followers cannot replace genuine love. So, when the beat pulses and Maluma’s smooth voice tells the story, remember: paradise photos may sparkle, but “el amor no se compra con nada.”
