You are our Dale Play Cover Star of the week with your new song Hawái,
which we’re gonna talk about,
but I was told that it is your first single of your upcoming album Papi Juancho.
Yes…
Who is Papi Juancho?
Well, look...
I wanted to keep it a secret that the song Papi Juancho will be part of my album, but now,
I don’t care, do you understand?
I had another strategy but well,
people are intelligent and they understand quickly.
So, they’ve realized that my new CD will be titled Papi Juancho
and it’s going to be its first single, well, yes,
I feel that this song could be one of the biggest hits in my career.
I have this feeling and, to be honest, this rarely happens to me.
Sometimes I release a song and I know that a song will go directly to the streets or
that a song will be better liked by girls…
...or this is for a certain age, but I feel like it’s a hit,
you know what I mean?
It is one of those great songs and all the energy that I am putting into it…
It’s been very important to see
the song grow and we’ll see how everything goes but I feel…
I’m sure that people will like it.
Do you think that the times that we’re living now,
full of reflection from everyone around the world
was part of the creation of your song when you sat down to write it?
Look, the story of this song is special because
the people who wrote this song...
... are the people with whom I almost, I mean, starting off with the producers,
Kevin and Chan,
I haven’t worked with them for two years, right?
And Edgar Carbarrera was the one to show the song to me and I asked him,
‘Dude, who wrote the song?’
And he said that it was from Kevin and Chan, the Rudeboyz.
So, I was like, ‘What?’
It’s been some time since I last worked with them.
They were the first people to be involved in my career from day one.
You see, the first time I entered the recording studio,
it was with Chan. He was one of them.
We are like brothers. However, we’d decided to leave work aside and
continue our friendship instead. You know what I mean?
Because we weren’t in the same frequency.
Later on, they introduced me to the composers,
showed me the song, I loved it, I recorded it in Miami
and a day after I said,
‘This is gonna be my next single’
This has to be my next single. I cannot let this go.
I don’t care if it’s gonna be part of my album or not, but
I need this to be my next single. So,
it was like an instant connection,
we wrote the lyrics and
when the song was ready,
I was absolutely sure that it was going to be my next single.
I've listened to the song and it is a song that touches you, like “oh”,
you know? it’s like, oh my gosh, like…
It has like a deep message, yeah
Yes, and the way you feel being that person, right?
While looking at Instagram photos and then you’re saying this and that,
but I feel it. So, now I’m thinking, did you cry while writing this song
because…
I almost cried….
Look, when I was writing the part of the song that I wrote,
or when I was interpreting it, It was deep to me,
you know what I mean?
That’s why I did the chorus,
that part of it could be that you have it all, apparently everything,
Hawaii for the holidays, congratulations,
what you post on instagram for me to see is very nice,
so that I can see that you’re doing fine, but you're hurting yourself.
When I was singing that part,
it wasn’t like I could relate to previous relationships
but the message reached my soul, you know what I mean?
because I know that a lot of people live double lives,
inside, they aren’t as happy as they show on social media, you know what I mean?
I’m not that case because I’m a very happy person both on social media and in real life,
I’m very happy, actually.
But I know that there are a lot of people who live like that, they want to pretend,
and they want to pretend they have a hell of a life,
and they want...you know what I mean?
but I’m not like that, I’m a real person. So, it’s like a message
for all of those people who do this,
to get off that trend and live a normal, calm and real life.
Well, Maluma, thanks for sharing this with our audience at Dale Play.
Before I present the song, I gotta tell you,
because I'm on the same boat as you.
All this that you see, is not black, it’s somewhat like blonde,
it used to be purple, but I couldn’t take a hot shower,
I was like hell no. Too bad, no more purple.
No, there are some cool products that you apply for the day,
and let it sit for twenty minutes and it works.
There’s that tip for you.
Yeah, I’ll Google it.
Malumas, Malumas advice and beauty tips.
There it is, whatever you need.
