The young duo, Mau y Ricky, sons of music icon Ricardo Montaner, have released the album's first single, "Voy Que Quemo," a song they decided best represents the music that is coming out in the LP, expected to release in July. "After writing so many songs, it just seemed natural to start recording an album," Ricky, 25, tells Billboard, speaking on behalf of the duo since Mau was on vocal rest. "We have 10 songs and an 11th that is an instrumental track. 'Voy Que Quemo' seemed like the best song to release first, and we're feeling super excited and nervous."
Mau y Ricky partnered with Latin Grammy winner Julio Reyes Copello to produce their album and credit him for allowing them to grow artistically and teach them about following their intuition. "We've grown as producers and songwriters, thanks to him. We also learned that the intuition of an artist is so important and it's something that needs to be respected because your intuition will differentiate you from others. We learned to write for ourselves and put out songs that will represent who we are."
And that's exactly what Mau y Ricky did. They followed their intuition after listening to their song "Arte" which was almost going to be pitched to Wisin, but Ricky says, "It didn't feel right for another artist to sing this song." Another man they have to thank for guiding them since they started composing at a very young age is their father, who has written hit singles like "La Cima del Cielo," "Déjame Llorar" and "Me Va a Extrañar."
"We've written songs together, so working with him helps you grow a lot because he's a very hard critic. Every song I've written since I was 8 years old, I'd run it by him and he'd give me feedback. He actually just heard the final product of our album and he loved it, thank God. But the best thing is that he's a fan of ours and we're huge fans of him. Yeah, he's my dad, but I'm a huge Ricardo Montaner fan."
Besides a new album, Mau y Ricky fans can expect to see them onstage soon as they go out on tour. "We haven't toured in such a long time because we were busy writing for others then started working on this album, but the stage is our natural habitat and where we feel most comfortable."
BOTA FUEGO

Yo te vi acompañada, me acerqué y no lo estabas
Te pregunté qué te tomabas
Y me jodí
Nunca he sido bueno para ser amigo
Pa' ser honesto, no es lo que quiero contigo
Y la verdad es que yo no sé cómo he vivido sin ti, yeah
Apágame este fuego, mami
Que no estoy respirando casi
Apágame este fuego, mami
Nació desde que te conocí
Ay, por tenerte en la cabeza
Tú me tienes a los pies
Dale, vente de sorpresa a besarme otra vez
Tú bota', bota' fuego, mami (Ouh-uh-uh-uh)
Tú bota', bota' fuego, mami (Yeah, ouh-uh-uh-uh)
Estamo' conecta'os, en tu cara yo lo veo, eh
Y juega con su pelo mirándome con deseo
Bailándome como si nadie la viera
Dichoso el que vea lo que veo
Mami, embriágate, boté el licor por tu sudor
Si me quieres por una noche, yo te hago el favor
La engañaron una vez, pero ama sin temor todavía
Baby, mírame
Prometo cuidarte siempre
Mami, bésame
Olvida lo que diga la gente y solo
Apágame este fuego, mami
Que no estoy respirando casi
Apágame este fuego, mami
Nació desde que te conocí
Ay, por tenerte en la cabeza
Tú me tienes a los pies
Dale, vente de sorpresa a besarme otra vez
Tú bota', bota' fuego, mami (Ouh-uh-uh-uh)

So-so-sorpréndeme, sorpréndeme
Que casi que me estoy ahogando
Viéndote la cara
Sin decirnos nada
Hazme lo que piensas cuando tú estás sola
Cuando estás pensando mucho en mí
Hazme lo que quieras y si me enamoras
Juro no te vas a arrepentir
Apágame este fuego, mami (Apágame)

The first verse describes the moment when the singer saw a woman he was interested in, although she appeared to be with someone else. He approached her and asked her what she was drinking but quickly realized that he didn't want to be just friends with her. He admits that he doesn't know how he's been living without her ever since he met her. The chorus is a plea from the singer to the woman to put out the fire that is burning inside of him since he met her. He feels like he's suffocating and he wants her to help.
The second verse talks about how the two are deeply connected, as evidenced by the way they look at each other, the way she touches her hair while looking at him and the way they dance together. The singer encourages the woman to loosen up, to forget about what the people around them say, and enjoy the moment with him. The bridge is a request from the singer for the woman to surprise him and make him feel alive. He wants her to do whatever she desires, even if it means falling in love with him. The song's title, "Bota Fuego," which translates to "throw fire," means to let go of their passion and desire, and be together.
