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."

Sí, sí
Apenas somos dos desconocidos
Con ganas de besarse
Con ganas de que pase lo que pase
Apenas somos dos desconocidos
Con miedo a enamorarse
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Si quieres después nos enamoramos
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Paso a paso, que la cagamos
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Si quieres después nos enamoramos
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Paso a paso, que la cagamos
Oye, oye, óyeme bien
Tú eres lo que busco yo en una mujer
Te tengo en la mira desde que llegué
Siento que eres mía, yo no sé por qué
Ay, yo sé que es mentira
Decir que soy el hombre de tu vida
Si tú ayer no me conocías
Y no sabías que me querías
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Y si quieres después nos enamoramos
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Paso a paso, que la cagamos
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Si quieres después nos enamoramos
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Paso a paso, que la cagamos
¡Y la bailamos lentico!
No sé cómo explicar
Lo que en ti estoy viendo
Me encanta cómo estás moviéndote
Tu cuerpo estrella contra mi cuerpo ma'
No lo entiendo
Dime si de mí te estabas escondiendo
Tú tan bella y yo apenas conociéndote
Bailemos sin importar quién este viendo
Hoy yo te quiero tener conmigo, conmigo
Yo quiero pasarla bien contigo, contigo
Hoy yo te quiero tener conmigo, conmigo
Y ver el amanecer contigo, contigo
Apenas somos dos desconocidos
Con ganas de besarse (con miedo a enamorarse)
Con ganas de que pase lo que pase
Apenas somos dos desconocidos
Con miedo a enamorarse (con ganas de besarse)
Con miedo de que pase lo que pase
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Si quieres después nos enamoramos
Vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Paso a paso, que la cagamos
Ay, vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Y si quieres después nos enamoramos
Ay, vamo' a pasar un buen rato
Paso a paso, que la cagamos

Mau y Ricky's Desconocidos is a song about two strangers who are attracted to each other but afraid to fall in love. The lyrics describe the desire to spend a good time together, but also the fear of making mistakes and getting hurt. The first verse highlights the tension between their attraction and their fear of getting involved emotionally. This tension is reinforced throughout the song, as the chorus repeats the line "vamo' a pasar un buen rato" (let's have a good time) while also acknowledging the risk of falling in love ("si quieres después nos enamoramos"). The second verse features a male perspective, with the singer expressing his attraction to the woman he barely knows and wondering why he feels so connected to her. The song ends with a call to dance and enjoy the moment, without worrying about the future.
Overall, the lyrics in Desconocidos reflect a common theme in contemporary Latin pop: the conflict between passion and caution, between the desire for pleasure and the fear of vulnerability. The song captures the excitement of a first encounter, but also the uncertainty and the anxieties that come with it. The music, a mix of reggaeton and pop, adds to the upbeat and sensual mood of the lyrics, creating a catchy and danceable track that invites the listener to join the party.
