On the release day of her third studio album KG0516, Karol G dropped the focus track “El Makinon” alongside Mariah Angeliq.
The infectious head-bopping, hip-swaying reggaetón song, produced by Neo, is about breaking all the rules with the girls. “Makinon,” slang for a big machine, tells the story of a girl who’s been independent since she was 16 years old — and now that she’s older, she can still depend on herself.
“El Makinon” debuted at No. 9 on Hot Latin Songs. Check out the full lyrics translated to English below.
I’m chilling around with the usual ones, a badass flow
Going around in a big machine
Crystals of G5 in a big capsule
And since I went out
They all want to repeat
But I’m doing something else, baby, I already left
Now I’m chilling around with the usual ones, a badass flow
Going around in a big machine
Crystals of G5 in a big capsule
Now I’m chilling around with the usual ones, a badass flow
Going around in a big machine
Crystals of G5 in a big capsule
And the bus is G5, baby, you can’t see inside
We can get it on, we can also get high
I want to handcuff you as if it were barracks
An Airbnb or we’ll go to a hotel
I’ll eat you wherever
Tell me how to escape
Tell me if we are or we aren’t, I forgive no one
This booty will go viral and without any promo
Down since I was sixteen
Breaking the law since very young
The DM’s exploding but there’s no break
We ate each other today, tomorrow replay
Down since I was sixteen
Breaking the law since very young
The DM’s exploding but there’s no break
We ate each other today, tomorrow replay
Now I’m chilling around with the usual ones, a badass flow
Going around in a big machine
Crystals of G5 in a big capsule
Now I’m chilling around with the usual ones, a badass flow
Going around in a big machine
Crystals of G5 in a big capsule
I got tired of the jeep and got a big machine
That when I accelerate, the pressure is felt
A professional flirt, ready for the challenge
My devil is on a mission
I’m in a Lamborghini with rugs that read “Diablo”
The doors go up if I open them
Baby, compare me with whomever, I’ll break her
My baby’s going to be a millionaire since birth
No one lowers my babies
The Jordans new out of the box
And nobody pays my bills
You like them like me, don’t hide it
Down since I was sixteen
Breaking the law since very young
The DM’s exploding but there’s no break
We ate each other today, tomorrow replay
Down since I was sixteen
Breaking the law since very young
The DM’s exploding but there’s no break
We ate each other today, tomorrow replay
The real bichota, papi
Haha, and the toxic one
You already know, mmm
Karol G with Mariah
Ey (now there’s no break, papi)
Careful that we’re coming (Mmm; ja)
With a badass flow
(It’s Mariah, babe
Mariah Angeliq
No)
