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.
