Cuco's initial musical endeavors commenced at the age of eight, when he practiced trumpet, guitar, keyboard, drums, bass guitar, mellophone, and French horn. In high school, he played in the marching band as well as the jazz band. After graduating, Banos uploaded a slide guitar cover of Sleep Walk by Santo & Johnny to YouTube. He began producing and releasing songs from his parents' home and releasing them onto Bandcamp and SoundCloud. In January 2015, Banos released his first EP on Bandcamp, titled Heavy Trip. In the same year, Banos had released his first song, "Yeah" on SoundCloud under the moniker of Heavy Trip. He then switched to Cuco, which was a nickname given to him by his mother as a child.
Transitioning from his psychedelic music phase as Heavy Trip between 2014 and 2015, he embarked on a creative shift, leaning into more pop-influenced compositions. His music is often classified under the genres of bedroom pop and alternative dream pop, characterized by synths, 808s, and washed-out analog sounds.
By the age of 18, Banos had self-produced his first mixtape "Wannabewithu" in 2016, after teaching himself how to use Ableton Live. Cuco released his second mixtape, "Songs4u" in 2017 when he started playing at clubs in Southern California, selling out his first two venues. Cuco released his first single "Lo Que Siento" in 2017, which has reached over 294 million streams on Spotify alone. Following the success of "Lo Que Siento," Cuco dropped out after a year of attending Santa Monica City College to pursue a career in music.
Cuco collaborated with American singer Clairo for the single "Drown", which was released in August 2018. He then collaborated with Polyphia on a track called "So Strange" off their album New Levels New Devils, which was released in October 2018. Cuco played alongside saxophonist Kenny G at Coachella in April 2018, as well as at Lollapalooza in October 2018. In February 2019, he collaborated with his childhood Chicano rap idols MC Magic and Lil Rob on a track called "Search". After a bidding war that lasted two years, Banos signed under Interscope Records in March 2019. On April 2, 2019, Cuco released "Hydrocodone," the lead single for Para Mi, before releasing "Bossa No Sé" with Jean Carter on May 22, 2019. Cuco later released his debut studio album, Para Mi, on July 26. The album touches on recent problems that Cuco has experienced first-hand, including a tour bus accident that sent him and his band to hospital. The album debuted at 94 on the US Charts.
On April 29, 2022, Cuco released "Caution" as the lead single from his sophomore studio album, Fantasy Gateway. On July 22, 2022, Fantasy Gateway was released via Interscope Records. The 12-track LP includes appearances from Kacey Musgraves, Adriel Favela, Bratty, and DannyLux. In 2023, he collaborated with The Marías on the song "Si Me Voy" released as a single. Delving into themes of self-discovery and personal transformation, the album was crafted in Mexico City, embracing a diverse range of sounds and collaborators.
Outside of his musical endeavors, Cuco also launched a streetwear clothing line known as Fantasy's Easy Living.
2. Cuco is an experimental rock trio from La Plata, Argentina.

Cuco Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You broke my heart
But I'm also so obsessed with you
I don't know if I love you
I don't know if I hate you
Baby it's time to
Get out my way
Get out my life
I'm pretty sure I hate you
I'm pretty sure I love you
After all of this commotion and the bullshit that you did
Cut my body in to pieces and just throw me off a bridge
I think its fair to say
That I'm going insane
More broken day by day
Why won't you go away
You say you hate me but you stay banging my line
Why do you want to break my heart and love me at the same time
Stupid bitch you came from hell and made me lose my fucking mind
What did I do to deserve this you just gave me a hard time
They hit me up and told me
That you were with my homie
How could you ever help me
I never been so lonely
Can't take you back oh no no
Think that it's time to go go
You left me all on my own
Don't play with me
You broke my heart
But I'm also so obsessed with you
I don't know if I love you
I don't know if I hate you
Baby it's time to
Get out my way
Get out my life
I'm so sick of you just playing games
I'm pretty sure I hate you
I'm pretty sure I love you
You gon' make me take my passion put it to the side
You was a lady I loved but you ruined my life
But you was so pretty that I'd even put up a fight
But you was so petty and I just knew it weren't right
I been seeing shit in HD
All of this shit it just ain't me
You been saying that you hate me
Then taking it back and can't face me
I roll a blunt just to face it
And put the bullshit at the side
Made a rollercoaster out my mattress
How you take a nigga for a fuckin' ride?
For tryna' put it in the past saying it's old news
Can't stand the thought of your ass
Deleted your old nudes
Made sure you was all where you want to be when the cold bloom
I think of the time that we spent it leave me feeling so foolish, so foolish
For tryna' put it in the past saying that it's old news
Can't stand the thought of your ass
Deleted your old nudes
Made sure you was all where you want to be when the cold bloom
I think of the time that we spent it leave me feeling so foolish, so foolish
Don't play with me
You broke my heart
But I'm also so obsessed with you
I don't know if I love you
I don't know if I hate you
Baby it's time to
Get out my way
Get out my life
I'm so sick of you just playing games
I'm pretty sure I hate you
I'm pretty sure I love you

Don't play with me
Don't mess with my emotions
You broke my heart
You hurt me deeply
But I'm also so obsessed with you
But I can't stop thinking about you
I don't know if I love you
I'm not sure if I have feelings for you
I don't know if I hate you
I'm not sure if I despise you
Baby it's time to
It's time for you to
Get out my way
Stop blocking my path
Get out my life
Leave me alone
I'm so sick of you just playing games
I'm tired of your mind games
I'm pretty sure I hate you
I'm almost certain that I can't stand you
I'm pretty sure I love you
But at the same time, I might be in love with you
After all of this commotion and the bullshit that you did
After all the drama and nonsense you caused
Cut my body in to pieces and just throw me off a bridge
I feel like I've been completely destroyed
I think its fair to say
It's safe to assume
That I'm going insane
That I'm losing my mind
More broken day by day
I'm getting more and more hurt every day
Why won't you go away
Why won't you leave me alone
You say you hate me but you stay banging my line
You claim to dislike me, but you keep contacting me
Why do you want to break my heart and love me at the same time
Why do you want to hurt me and still have feelings for me
Stupid bitch you came from hell and made me lose my fucking mind
You're a terrible person who's responsible for me going crazy
What did I do to deserve this you just gave me a hard time
What did I do to deserve this treatment, you just made my life difficult
They hit me up and told me
I was informed by someone else
That you were with my homie
That you were with my friend
How could you ever help me
How could you betray me like that
I never been so lonely
I've never felt this alone before
Can't take you back oh no no
I can't forgive and forget
Think that it's time to go go
I think it's time for you to leave
You left me all on my own
You abandoned me
You gon' make me take my passion put it to the side
You're going to make me neglect my desires
You was a lady I loved but you ruined my life
You were someone I cared about, but you wrecked everything for me
But you was so pretty that I'd even put up a fight
But you were attractive enough that I'd fight for you anyway
But you was so petty and I just knew it weren't right
But you were so immature and I realized it wasn't worth it
I been seeing shit in HD
I've been seeing things clearly
All of this shit it just ain't me
This isn't who I am
You been saying that you hate me
You've been claiming to despise me
Then taking it back and can't face me
Then retracting it and not confronting me
I roll a blunt just to face it
I smoke weed to deal with it
And put the bullshit at the side
And ignore the nonsense
Made a rollercoaster out my mattress
My bed feels like a thrill ride
How you take a nigga for a fuckin' ride?
How could you deceive me like that?
For tryna' put it in the past saying it's old news
For trying to move on and saying it's ancient history
Can't stand the thought of your ass
I can't bear the idea of you
Deleted your old nudes
I erased your old nude pictures
Made sure you was all where you want to be when the cold bloom
Made sure you were settled before the winter season arrived
I think of the time that we spent it leave me feeling so foolish, so foolish
I reflect on our past and it makes me feel stupid
