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."

Vestida de noche y buscando animales, sí, sí

The song "Mal de la Cabeza" by Mau y Ricky is a catchy and upbeat song in Spanish that talks about temptation, desire and impulsivity. The first verse talks about a woman who is curious and adventurous, dressed up for a night out and looking for wild animals. The singer offers her his mouth and declares that he has hunger too. The chorus repeats the phrase "Mal de la cabeza" or "crazy in the head" which implies that the characters are acting impulsively and not entirely in their right mind. The second verse involves the singer addressing a woman named Becky G and praising her beauty. He declares that he wants to play with her and that he has no restraint or control. The bridge section talks about the singer's desire to let go and be taken by the moment. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus and an unresolved feeling of confusion and impulsivity.
Overall, the song explores themes of temptation, desire, impulsivity and letting go. It is a fun and catchy song that is perfect for dancing, but also has a deeper meaning. The lyrics paint a picture of characters who are giving into their desires and impulses, even if it might not be the wisest decision. Although the chorus suggests that they may be "crazy in the head", the song seems to be more about the feeling of being consumed by desire and giving into it.
