Prechorus 1

I don't know if it's the alcohol

That has me confessing this

What I’ve been feeling for a while

I know that love wasn't in the contract

But it happens to you too, I can tell as well

Chorus 1

I swore that I wouldn't get attached to anyone

And here you have me talking to you sweetly

My friends tell me that he’s kind of a dog

But I'll take away that bad boy image from you

I said it was just sex once, I won't repeat it

And now staying in your bed is my favorite plan

I'm not in love, but it's almost there

I know, I'm almost there

Verse 1

He has me calling him 'Love', treating him tenderly

I didn't like sleeping with anyone

Now if it's not with him by my side, I can't sleep

I just wanted one night

To satisfy the desire that I have for him

I'm always here for whatever he needs

And taking care of him when he's sick

I don't know what has happened to me

The crush has won over me

Because of you, I don't have others

I've pushed everyone away, yeah

I’ve left them on read, yeah

I don't want to know about anyone else

I feel good with what you give me

You stay or you go, it's up to you

But I don’t know what has happened

The crush has won over me

Because of you, I don't have others

I've pushed everyone away, yeah

I’ve left them on read, yeah

I don't want to know about anyone else

I feel good with what you give me

You stay or you go, it's up to you, but

Chorus 2

I swore that I wouldn't get attached to anyone

And here you have me talking to you sweetly

My friends tell me that you’re kind of a dog

But I'll take away that bad boy image from you

I said it was just sex once, I won't repeat it

And now staying in your bed is my favorite plan

I'm not in love, but it's almost there

I know, I'm almost there

Postchorus 2

I don't know if it's the alcohol

That has me confessing this

What I’ve been feeling for a while

I know that love wasn't in the contract

But it happens to you too, I can tell as well

I notice it also

SONG MEANING

CAIRO is not a postcard from Egypt; it is a late-night confession set to a smooth reggaeton groove. KAROL G’s narrator begins with a carefree plan: just one passionate encounter, nothing serious. A little alcohol loosens her tongue and she admits the truth—she is catching feelings fast. Every playful line shows how hard she tries to stick to the “no-strings” contract, yet her actions tell on her: calling him amor, staying over, even playing nurse when he is sick. The song captures that delicious moment when a crush flips from casual to dangerously close to love, all while friends warn her that the guy is a bit of a perrito (player).

Under the irresistible beat produced by Ovy on the Drums, the lyrics explore the tug-of-war between desire and self-control. She has ghosted every other suitor, chooses his bed as her “favorite plan,” and admits she is almost in love—falta poquito (just a little more). “CAIRO” celebrates the thrill of letting go of rules and surrendering to an unexpected connection, making listeners dance while reflecting on their own “oops, I caught feelings” moments.
