TQUM Meaning

‘tqm’ is a popular way to say ‘te quiero mucho’ in Mexico, and its translation would be something like ‘I like you very much’. Danna and Sofia’s ‘tqum’ would be translated as ‘I like you a lot’, in an informal way.

The song is centered around the nostalgia of past loves, which resurfaces when one travels on a plane. 

    Llevo tres horas contando las nubes en el avión
Y me acordé cuando queríamos irnos a Japón
Ahora que lo pienso bien aún te quiero un montón
Y me pe, y me pe, y me pesa

Si te hubiera escrito, ponértelo en palabras
Que te necesito y espero no estés con nadie


Que llevo días pensándote y cada carta leyéndote
Fui tan ciega y no pude ver qué nos pasó, bebé, y qué

¿Cómo pude perderte y seguir queriéndote?

     A mí me pasa mucho cuando me subo un avión, es cuando me pongo más reflexiva. (…) Estás extrañando a esta persona con la que estuviste antes y estás en el avión, llevas tres horas literalmente viendo hacia las nubes y te estás acordando de todo esto» —expressed Sofia at an interview.
