Isn’t it wonderful to live in a time when we have such great and empowered artists like Karol G? Our urban queen is going through her best professional moment after making history with ‘Mañana Será Bonito’. She’s one of the most respected singers and songwriters in the world and keeps adding achievements. An icon of pop culture, Latin music and empowerment, her songs are able to connect with millions of people who vibrate to the rhythm of hits like ‘TQG’, ‘Provenza’, ‘El Makinón’, ‘MAMIII’ or ‘Sejodioto’.
We have compiled some epic phrases and lyrics of the Bichota that have done us so much good for our peace of mind and mental health. Besides, they are perfect to share on our social media or to dedicate to whoever you love the most. 10 messages from Karol G taken from her songs or interviews that we’ll need to incorporate in our lives.
1. “To’ me quieren partir y no tienen con qué / Roncan, pero no pueden con mi pum-pum» (Bichota). Karol G doesn’t mess around here. To show what you’re worth, come on top and break it whenever and wherever you want.
2. «Este booty se va y eso e’ sin darle promo» (El Makinón). A perfect lyric to send a very direct hint in networks. What happens to you? Forget about him. Just like that.
3. «Yo vine a cambiarte las reglas del juego / Te crees bien malo / Yo te bajo el ego”. «I came to change the rules of the game / You think you’re so bad / I’ll lower your ego» (Muñeco de lego). Here Karol G begins to make her mark and to express very clearly her role in the music. All determination.
4. «It became a mission to try to bring that message of security, of loving ourselves. When you have no one to love, it’s just you. You have to love yourself (…) It’s something I wake up with every day, that I want to share with others so they feel the same way»). (Interview for Vogue Mexico, 2022). This whole interview is a plea for women, for natural beauty and against the conventions of society. Karol G always leaves us important lessons and the most beautiful is to tell us: be yourself, believe in yourself. An inspiration.
5. «Amiga, deja solo a ese payaso / Si le pagan por hacerte sufrir ya sería millonario» (200 copas). How many times have our best friends told us this? Well, now it should be mandatory.
6. «Ella se cura con rumba / Y el amor pa la tumba» (Tusa). Karol G’s most iconic and most chanted song carries a powerful message. If you also listen to the song and get depressed, think about changing the subject and get another favorite track.
7. «All the people I worked with made me indecent proposals or wanted something in return. But my dad started working with me and I’ve been dodging many obstacles». (Interview in El País, 2018)
8. «Taba con alguien pero ya estoy free» (Provenza). This Karol G’s global hit also harbors a great message of freedom.
9. “Dile a tu nueva bebé, que por hombres no compito” (‘TQG’) A lyric where Karol demonstrates enough emotional maturity not to go down that road that would make her and other women suffer. Up with sorority!
10. «We have to collaborate among women to consolidate all the good things that are happening» (El País, 2018). Karol G already thought this way years ago and there is no doubt that the Colombian artist preaches by example. Since then there have been countless collaborations with women (‘TQG’ with Shakira, ‘MAMIII’ with Becky G, ‘El Makinón’ with Mariah Angeliq or ‘Tusa’ with Nicki Minaj). For ‘Provenza’ she devised a music clip starring women and in her live performances she has a female corps de ballet. Moreover, she released her recent NPR Tiny Desk surrounded by other women artists.
BONUS. «The opinion of others may be perhaps the main reason why most people stop dreaming. Remember that we all have different minds … what if your idea is genius and the other person’s mind is so limited that they can’t see it? ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ trust you then!»
La opinión de los otros puede ser tal vez la principal razón por la que la mayoría de las personas deja de soñar. Recuerda que todos tenemos mentes diferentes … qué tal si tu idea es una genialidad y la mente del otro es tan limitada que no puede verla? ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ confíe en…
