Intro
Let me tell you, before you go
I didn't want to give up, I lost the battle
It wasn't your fault nor was it my fault
Or: It wasn't your fault and it wasn't my fault
Baby, they're things of life
Or: Babe, that's just how life is sometimes
I hope that it goes well with the one that you follow
Chorus 1
I hope that when he does it to you you think of me
Or: Hopefully, when he makes love to you, you think of me
I hope it's my name that you want to repeat
Or: Hopefully it's my name the one you want to repeat
And I hope the same thing happens to me
I hope I can't forget you
Or: Hopefully I can't forget you
I hope that when he does it to you you think of me
I hope it's my name that you want to repeat
And I hope the same thing happens to me
I hope I can't forget you
Chorus 2
I hope that when he does it to you you think of me
I hope it's my name that you want to repeat
And I hope the same thing happens to me
I hope I can't forget you
Verse 2
With the truck parked just in case she writes to me
She doesn't give me like anymore, she doesn't follow me either
You're not mine anymore, now I'm free
Without f*cking you, how do I live?
I hope, I hope you think of me when you fall asleep
When another goes down on you and your legs don't tremble
You like good guys, I was your only bad guy
How you enjoyed with your bad guy
Buddy, when you need, chill, I give it to you
Chorus 3
I hope that when he does it to you you think of me
I hope it's my name that you want to repeat
And I hope the same thing happens to me
I hope I can't forget you

SONG MEANING

Ojalá pairs Colombian superstar Maluma with Adam Levine to create a bilingual confession booth set to a smooth Latin Urbano beat. The singers have just broken up with their lovers but they are nowhere near over the relationship. Instead of wishing their exes happiness, they cheekily wish the opposite: "Ojalá que cuando él te lo haga pienses en mí" (I hope that when he’s with you, you think of me). Each line drips with a mix of swagger and vulnerability as they admit defeat in the “battle” of love yet still crave to echo in the other person’s mind.

Bouncing between Spanish and English, the track captures the push-and-pull that follows a passionate breakup. Maluma’s street-wise verses show him pretending to move on, car parked outside just in case she texts, while Levine’s silky hook exposes the sleepless nights and whispered names no new partner can replace. In the end, Ojalá is a playful but bittersweet wish: that neither side can forget the electric feelings they once shared, no matter who they try to love next.
