About El Perdedor

"El perdedor" (English: "The Loser") is a song by Colombian singer Maluma taken from his second studio album Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy (2015). Sony Music Latin released it as the album's third single on 9 February 2016 following fan demand. It was written by JY (El De La J) and Maluma alongside Kevin Mauricio Jiménez, Bryan Snaider Lezcano Chaverra and Miky la Sensa. Two remix versions were available for purchase; one featuring Puerto Rican singer Yandel and the other being and EDM version. A Brazilian Portuguese version of the song featuring Brazilian duo Bruninho & Davi was released on 30 May 2017. Commercially, the song was successful across countries of Latin America topping the charts in Colombia and Mexico. It also entered the top ten of many Billboard Latin charts, peaking at number four on the main Hot Latin Songs chart. A music video directed by Jessy Térrero was filmed in Los Angeles and premiered on 22 April 2016. It was meant to illustrate US police racism towards people of Latin descent, a concept seen in the video when Maluma gets arrested because of a forbidden relationship with an American police officer's daughter. The clip received praise for the topics it analyzed and Maluma's acting skills. To further promote the song, Maluma performed it live during stops of his tour in support of Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy and at the 2016 Premios Juventud.

Baby
(Pa' qué me estás llamando)
Dime si es verdad que él te trae loca
(Y a vos que te importa) ¿ah, si?
Aún no lo creo que en tan poco tiempo besas otra boca
(De mala, ¿qué?)

Dime cuál fue mi error
Si mi único delito solo fue amarte
Hoy soy el perdedor
Él me ha robado el truco pa' enamorarte

Y dime que me amas aunque sea mentira
No puedo negarte los celos me están matando
Y dile en su cara que aún por mi suspiras
Me parte el alma no volver a verte
Y dime que me amas aunque sea mentira
Sabes que no hay nadie como yo
Y dile en su cara que aún por mi suspiras
No te engañes no me olvidarás
Está claro que tú, mereces alguien mejor
No sé en que fallé, pero no hay otro como yo

Oye ma', dame otra oportunidad
Bien sabes no soy así, solo tú me haces rogar
Mirándome al espejo y peleando con mi ego
Si entre más me alejo más te pienso

Dime cuál fue mi error
Si mi único delito solo fue amarte
Hoy soy el perdedor
Él me ha robado el truco pa' enamorarte

Y dime que me amas aunque sea mentira
No puedo negarte los celos me están matando
Y dile en su cara que aún por mí suspiras
Me parte el alma no volver a verte
Y dime que me amas aunque sea mentira
Sabes que no hay nadie como yo
Y dile en su cara que aún por mí suspiras
No te engañes, no me olvidarás

Y si te da la gana de volver a verme
Estaré disponible para contestarte
Y yo sé que por tu parte no sientes rencores
Quizás mañana vuelvas pa' que te enamore

Cuando tomabamos, lo hacíamos
Filmabamos, veíamos
Eramos dos locos sin saber pa' dónde íbamos
Pero son cosas del destino
Al pasar el tiempocogiste tu camino

Está claro que tú, mereces a alguien mejor
No sé en qué fallé, pero no hay otro como yo

Dime cuál fue mi error
Si mi único delito solo fue amarte
Hoy soy el perdedor
Él me ha robado el truco pa' enamorarte

Y dime que me amas aunque sea mentira
No puedo negarte los celos me están matando
Y dile en su cara que aún por mí suspiras
Me parte el alma no volver a verte
Y dime que me amas aunque sea mentira
Sabes que no hay nadie como yo
Y dile en su cara que aún por mí suspiras
Que por mí suspiras
Que no, que no, que no

(Dime cuál fue mi error solo fue amarte)

You baby
Y te hablo claro
Desde el bunque
Atlantic Music
Es el Pretty Boy, Dirty Boy baby

Y yo soy Maluma baby
Sabe que, él no te hace el amor
No te trata bien

Y que yo fui el primero en tu vida
