After a successful two-weekend debut at Coachella, winning six of seven Latin American Music Awards, and announcing her 2022 $trip Love Tour, there’s no denying that Karol G is having a moment.
In the midst of an exciting and busy April, the Colombian singer released her single “Provenza,” produced by Ovy on the Drums and marking her first solo single in seven months following “Se Jodio To.'” From its feel-good melody to its lyrics full of fresh air and freedom, the lilting, calypso-esque dance beat is a whole vibe.

In just its opening line — “Baby, ¿qué más?/ Hace rato que no sé na’ de ti/’ Taba con alguien, pero ya estoy free/ Puesta pa’ revivir viejos tiempos” — it’s a given that Karol is ready to rekindle with a past (and unforgettable) lover.
Below, read the full lyrics to “Provenza” translated to English:
Baby, what’s up?
I haven’t heard from you in a while
I was with someone
but now I’m free
Ready to live old times, I haven’t gone out
Tell me where you are
I haven’t heard from you in a while
I was with someone but now I’m free
Ready to live old times, I haven’t gone out
Baby, we’ll get lost, we’ll park [the car] and light it up
We’ll drink something for the thirst, and when we get drunk
We’ll play reggaeton, and we’ll go where we can love each other
Where we can devour each other
Baby, we’ll get lost, we’ll park [the car]
and light it up
We’ll drink something for the thirst, and when we get drunk
We’ll play reggaeton, and we’ll go where we can love each other
Where we can devour each other
Baby, what’s up?
I haven’t heard from you in a while
I was with someone but now I’m free
Ready to live old times, I haven’t gone out
Tell me where you are
I haven’t heard from you in a while
I was with someone but now I’m free
Ready to live old times, I haven’t gone out
What’s
the worst that could happen?
That it goes bad? I’m outside, come
We have some pending things
You’re an irreplaceable partner
I don’t know if I’ll convince you
We’ll touch each other in Provenza
And if things get tense, I’ll reward you in my bed
Or vice versa, because I know you’re thinking of ir
We’ll go to the hood for weed
Put it on the hookah to dissolve
The chemistry is still preserved
I’ll make good love to you so you come back
Even if I leave
tomorrow, take advantage of that I’m here
Ready for you, that’s why I wrote to you
Baby, what’s up?
I haven’t heard from you in a while
I was with someone but now I’m free
Ready to live old times, I haven’t gone out
Tell me where you are
I haven’t heard from you in a while
I was with someone but now I’m free
Ready to live old times, I haven’t gone out

Me cansé de relaciones
No quiero más prisiones
Por más que me critiquen
Me tiene sin cojones
Papi, me puse más mami
Lo sabe Colombia, PR y Miami
I got tired of relationships
I don’t want
prisons
No matter how much they criticize me
They have me without balls
Papi, I put on more mami
Colombia, PR and mami know it
Qué chimba se siente
Hacer el amor con otro
Y que quede entre nosotros
Tú eres mío sin papeles
Y así, cero corazones
rotos
Hacer el amor con otro
Y que quede entre nosotros
Tú eres mío sin papeles
Y así, cero corazones rotos
How good it feels
To make love with an another
And that it stays between us
You’re mine without papers
And like this, zero broken hearts
To make
love with an another
And that it stays between us
You’re mine without papers
And like this, zero broken hearts
En Miami en una moto
Si el traje se me sube, se me vio to’
To’ el día en la mía
‘Toy bien encendía
Me dejaron solita y se jodió to’
In Miami on a
bike
If my dress flies up, everything was seen
All day at mine
I’m well turned on
They left me alone and everything is fucked
Prendo el Ferra’ y despego de la tierra
Hágame el amor, no la guerra
Que en la disco me esperan mi’ perra’
Y vamos con la cartera mela
I
turn on the Ferra and take off from the earth
Make love, not war
In the disco they wait for my bitch
And we’ll go with the red bag
En Miami en una moto
Si el traje se me sube, se me vio to’
To’ el día en la mía
‘Toy bien encendía
Me dejaron solita y se jodió to’
In Miami on a bike
If my dress flies up, everything was seen
All day at mine
I’m well turned on
They left me alone and everything is fucked
Qué chimba se siente
Hacer el amor con otro
Y que quede entre nosotros
Tú eres mío sin papeles
Y así, cero
corazones rotos
Hacer el amor con otro
Y que quede entre nosotros
Tú eres mío sin papeles
Y así, cero corazones rotos
How good it feels
To make love with an another
And that it stays between us
You’re mine without papers
And like this, zero broken
hearts
To make love with an another
And that it stays between us
You’re mine without papers
And like this, zero broken hearts
Vamo’ a darnos estos tragos hasta el fondo
Si se filtra algún video, no les copio
De mi nota no respondo
Ese tío no es de España y ‘ta cachondo
We’ll keep on drinking until the deep
If they filter some video, I don’t copy them
From my note I don’t respond
That dude is not from Spain and he’s out cheating
Hoy te quiero perrear
Y contigo sudar
No te puedes hookear
Yo me acabo de dejar
Dicen que él es loco, pero eso es
mental
Él lo hizo primero, no se puede quejar
Today I want to dog you
And sweat with you
You can’t hook up
I have just left myself
They say he’s crazy, but that’s mental
He did it first, can’t complain
Me cansé de relaciones
No quiero más
prisiones
Por más que me critiquen
Me tiene sin cojones
Papi, me puse más mami
Lo sabe Colombia, PR y Miami
I got tired of relationships
I don’t want prisons
No matter how much they criticize me
They have me without balls
Papi, I put on more mami
Colombia,
PR and mami know it
Qué chimba se siente
(Hacer el amor con otro
Y que quede entre nosotros)
Tú eres mío sin papeles
Y así, cero corazones rotos
Hacer el amor con otro
Y que quede entre nosotros
Tú eres mío sin papeles
Y así, cero corazones rotos
How good
it feels
(To make love with an another
And that it stays between us)
You’re mine without papers
And like this, zero broken hearts
To make love with an another
And that it stays between us
You’re mine without papers
And like this, zero broken
hearts
(Ey, mamacita
‘Ta solita
Y se jodió to’

You’re alone
Everything is fucked
