The song Maradona Riddim by DJ Snake & Niniola is an ode to the Argentine football legend Diego Maradona who passed away in November 2020. The lyrics are Niniola singing to a lover, asking if he is like a footballer who takes her for granted or like a telescope that always has its sights set on someone else. She warns him not to blame her if he loses her and comes back weeping, emphasizing her worth and stating that she can't be taken for granted.
The chorus "Oh Maradona" seems to be a declaration of her strength and power, comparing herself to the football legend who was known for his skill and determination on the field. The lyrics then switch to her asking her lover if he will be satisfied with her and if she can be enough for him, and again warning him not to take her for granted.

I don't know how producers do it... At first i thought 'What? Nah..' But after listening a couple of times i'm like 'Wow, this actually is amazing and gives me strange chills'. Anyway, much respect and love from Lithuania!
