In 2010, Major Lazer released Lazerproof, a free download mixtape with pop sensation La Roux, and Lazers Never Die, an EP featuring two new tracks and three remixes, including one by Thom Yorke. One of the foremost breakthroughs for Major Lazer during this time was the production collaboration with Beyoncé on her single “Run the World (Girls)”, which sampled their track “Pon de Floor." BeyoncÉ directly sought out Switch and Diplo, recognizing the fact that they were creating authentically innovative music and further cementing their status as a production team worthy of worldwide mainstream attention. As 2011 turned to 2012, Switch determined it best to pursue his own path, leaving Diplo in full control of Major Lazer.
As the sole executive producer of Major Lazer, Diplo continued to spearhead the current dancehall revival movement with the 2013 release Free The Universe. That album included collaborations with Bruno Mars, Tyga, Flux Pavilion, Wynter Gordon, Shaggy, Wyclef Jean, Ezra Koening from Vampire Weekend, Dev and more. Spin called the LP’s first single "Get Free" featuring Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors, "a meeting point between Jamaica, West Africa, and Brooklyn."
Diplo (AKA Wesley Pentz) has risen through the ranks and has asserted himself as one of the most pioneering producers of the time. Through unending curiosity and exploration of the vast multitudes of the world’s musical heritages, Diplo has managed to seamlessly connect the global underground to the audio mainstream. He is the Grammy-nominated founder, owner and head honcho of Mad Decent records, which has not only garnered widespread critical and audience accolades since its inception, but has also deservedly earned a hefty reputation as a vanguard of groundbreaking releases. As Major Lazer, he retreated to Jamaica in 2012 to team up with producers Ariel Rechtshaid and Dre Skull on Snoop Lion's (Snoop Dogg) 2013 album "Reincarnated". Major Lazer was also featured on the title track from No Doubt's 2012 comeback album with famed dancehall artist Busy Signal and released an official remix for Hot Chip’s "Look At Where We Are".

Pero esa labia me hace dudar de mí
Quiero hacer, ya no quiero decir
Fronteaste tanto, a ver si vas a cumplir
Esto es otro nivel
Medianoche, vamos pal tercer
Tu placer me hace querer ser fiel
Sabes que no me dejo
Insaciable, pero yo no me quejo
Esto no es algo que yo suelo hacer
Pero te voy a enseñar todo lo que sé
Entonces dime qué lo que-que-que-que-que
No me ronques por el cel-cel-cel-cel-cel
Llégale, no seas tan cruel-el-el-el-el
Quiero ver si vas a poder-er-er-er-er
Entonces dime qué lo que-que-que-que-que
No me ronques por el cel-cel-cel-cel-cel
Llégale, no seas tan cruel-el-el-el-el
Quiero ver si vas a poder (mmm, mmm)
Lo que necesitas,
Puedo darte todo lo que necesitas
Tengo la salsa, por eso es que me imitan
Con la única que te debilitas
Así me vea bien chiquita
No hay quien me iguale, hoy todo se vale
Esta chilenita te hace perder los modales
Las ganas son a diaria, me dice que yo hago magia
Papi, te tengo hechizado
Entonces dime qué lo que-que-que-que-que
No me ronques por el cel-cel-cel-cel-cel
Llégale, no seas tan cruel-el-el-el-el
Quiero ver si vas a poder-er-er-er-er
Entonces dime qué lo que-que-que-que-que
No me ronques por el cel-cel-cel-cel-cel
Llégale, no seas tan cruel-el-el-el-el
Quiero ver si vas a poder (Mmm, mmm)
De solo escuchar
Mi voz puede hipnotizarte (Hipnotizarte)
Acércate más
Qué tímido, tanto que hablaste y no dice' na'
Agárrate bien
Hoy no tienes que soltarme (Que-Que me suelte')
Siempre que te veo cumplo tus deseos
Te voy a consentir, te toca ir al cielo
Entonces dime qué lo que-que-que-que-que
No me ronques por el cel-cel-cel-cel-cel
Llégale, no seas tan cruel-el-el-el-el
Quiero ver si vas a poder-er-er-er-er
Entonces dime qué lo que-que-que-que-que
No me ronques por el cel-cel-cel-cel-cel
Llégale, no seas tan cruel-el-el-el-el
Quiero ver si vas a poder
The song "QueLoQue" by Major Lazer Paloma Mami speaks about the internal conflict of the singer trying to resist the manipulative nature of a person they are attracted to. They claim to be an angel without this person, but their smooth talking causes them to doubt themselves. The singer expresses their desire to take action instead of just talking about it, and challenges this person to follow through with their promises. The song also highlights the confidence and power of the singer, who believes they can provide everything this person needs and have the ability to hypnotize them with just their voice. The chorus serves as a challenge to this person to follow through on their actions and show if they can truly handle being with the singer.
Throughout the song, there is a strong theme of power dynamics within relationships. The singer seems to be confident in their abilities and not willing to let this person control or manipulate them, as evidenced by lines like "Fronteaste tanto, a ver si vas a cumplir" (You talked big, let's see if you can back it up). The singer is also very aware of the effect they have on this person and their ability to "hechizar" (bewitch) them. The use of "QueLoQue" (What's up?) in the chorus serves to challenge this person and test their willingness to follow through, indicating a dynamic of power and control.
Overall, "QueLoQue" is a song that explores the complexities of relationships and power dynamics. The strong, confident speaker challenges their love interest to follow through on their promises and prove themselves, reflecting a desire for equality and mutual respect.
