Unlike the rest of the songs on the album, “Ladrón” was created only by Argentines: Lali, Cazzu, FMK and Big One. Lali highlighted that the urban pop sound that can be appreciated in “Ladrón” is what she sought to achieve throughout the album.
The song was released on November 12, 2020 as the fifth single from Libra, exactly one hour before Lali released the album without prior announcement.

Lali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mm-mmh (Lali)
Yeah (Cazzu, baby)
Yeah (the motherfuckin' Big One)
Tú fuiste el ladrón que me robó un beso
Y aún anda suelto
Pero sé que ya te voy a encontrar
Siempre lastimas y sales ileso, oh oh
Y como sé de eso
Hoy haré que tú solo te esposes
A mis sentimientos (-mientos)
Quisiste jugar conmigo
Y de repente
Baby, has perdido
La que juega contigo soy yo
Y ahora que estás confundido
Y alguien te miente
Baby, has perdido
Ahora te toca pedir perdón
¿Y ahora qué?
¿Qué vas a hacer?
Te toca en calma
Te toca perder, hmm
La que juega contigo soy yo (yo' Cazzu)
Te tengo al lado y no hay química
Te toco y casi que no siento na'
Si me toco, la paso mejor yo solita
Perdóname, no me llama la atención
Bobo básico, como vos un montón
Ni siquiera te puedo llamar ladrón
Traicionero, en el barrio sos un botón
Quebrado volviste pidiéndole
Mi número a mis amiga'
Que ando loca y desaparecía'
Inventas que es porque estoy dolida
Y yo callá' con otro a escondía'
Quisiste jugar conmigo
Y de repente
Baby, has perdido
La que juega contigo soy yo
Y ahora que estás confundido
Y alguien te miente
Baby, has perdido
Ahora te toca pedir perdón
Ahora te toca por haber sido un idiota
Siempre quiere' dar la nota y la cagaste
Y se te nota que anda' en busca de mi boca
Pero sabes que esta loca va a pagarte
Con la misma moneda
Y no me importa si es que solo te quedas, eh
Hoy pagas tu condena
Arrepentido, nadie te va a sacar de este lío, no
Quisiste jugar conmigo
Y de repente
Baby, has perdido
La que juega contigo soy yo (soy yo)
Y ahora que estás confundido
Y alguien te miente
Baby, has perdido
Ahora te toca pedir perdón
Hey, yeah
Ey, yeaheh
Mm-mmh
Lali, hey (this is the Big One, wuh)
Ha, ah ah
Ah, ah ah ah
The lyrics of Lali's song Ladrón tell a story of a woman who was taken advantage of and hurt by a man who stole a kiss from her. She is determined to find him and make him pay for what he did by "arresting" him with her feelings. She knows he has a pattern of leaving behind a trail of hurt people, but she's determined to put an end to it. In turn, the collaborator Cazzu laments about how the man is not compatible with her and she has no interest in him. This song is a response to toxic men who play with women's feelings and eventually lead to their own downfall.
The song was released as part of Lali's album "Libra," which was named after her zodiac sign. While the album's title refers to balance and harmony, the song "Ladrón" emphasizes the importance of standing up for oneself and demanding respect. The lyrics are sung in a fast-paced and lively manner, which adds to its empowering message. The song has gained popularity in Latin America and has been performed at several award shows and concerts.
