The track Chico Malo, which literally means “bad boy” in Spanish, is a fierce break up song that hammers an ex-lover for his inconsistencies, faults, and the pain he inflicted throughout the relationship.

This new single from MAMAMOO+ also features traditional Korean instruments gayageum and daegeum that are used to accompany the contemporary beat and rhythm of this fresh record.

Solar and Moonbyuls high-powered vocals and rapping skills were also showcased in the song giving listeners a wild but delightful listening experience.
