Tainy & KAROL G, Única

Puerto Rican producer-songwriter Tainy and Colombian singer-songwriter KAROL G put in work on the short but utterly sweet “Única.”

“Única / Tu boca besándome toda de una forma única / Tanta gente en el mundo, y esa noche yo era la única / Lo entregamo’ todo sabiendo que iba a ser la única.” ¡Oh, chasquido!, aka, oh, snap! Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 producer-songwriter Tainy (b. 1989) and Colombian 🇨🇴 singer-songwriter KAROL G (b. 1991) join forces for a unique listening experience in “Única”, which translates into English as, you guessed it, “Unique.” In the refrán (refrain) excerpted above, KAROL G sings about unique kisses and being his only one.  KAROL G, Tainy, Richi López, and Rios penned “Única.” Tainy and López produced it.

Beyond the refrain, other sections of the brief “Única” include the coro (chorus) and the verso (verse). In the chorus, KAROL G recalls their passionate love experience, which has since come to an end. “Y aunque estemo’ distantes / Sé que tú también sientes [And even though we’re far apart / I know you feel it too],” she sings in the chorus, and continues, “Y cuando ames a alguien, bebé / Sé que vas a extrañarme, eh-eh [And when you love someone, baby / I know you’re gonna miss me, eh-eh].” Word!  The verse confirms their special bond, despite being with different people. KAROL G asserts, “Bebé, tu recuerdo no me deja / To’ lo que hicimos se ha quedado / Como un tattoo en mi cabeza [Baby, your memory won’t leave me / Everything we did has stayed / Like a tattoo on my head].” KAROL G sounds beautiful as she sings about those unique, seemingly once-in-a-lifetime kissds. She’s supported by sleek musical accompaniment (colorful keys, synths, and a sweet bass line), anchored by a hard-hitting syncopated reggaetón beat.  All told, Tainy and KAROL G put in work on the short but utterly sweet “Única”, a welcome addition to the Latin pop playlist! ¡Esta canción es simplemente maravillosa!
