Karol G and Tainy Drop ‘ÚNICA’: English Lyrics, Meaning, and Who the Song Is For
Two of the biggest names in global urban music have just released their new collaboration
Two of the biggest names in global urban music, Karol G and Tainy, have just released their new collaboration, ‘ÚNICA’. For Tainy, this track marks the second single from his upcoming studio album, following the success of his previous project, DATA.
‘ÚNICA’ isn’t just another romantic release. The combination of Tainy’s production and Karol G’s voice gives the song a special emotional weight, sparking conversations about who the track might be dedicated to. While only they know the truth, many fans online have pointed toward Feid as the possible inspiration.
So, what the lyrics are about? The song tells the story of a connection so intense and unforgettable that it leaves a mark long after the moment is over. It’s not a relationship or a full love story — it’s one night that becomes emotionally permanent.

At its core, the song describes a moment that can’t be replicated. Karol G sings about a night where she felt completely chosen — ‘ÚNICA’ — even in a world full of people. That sense of being the only one, the center of that moment, is what makes the memory so powerful.
The Song Also Explores What Happens Afterward…
The emotional echo of something fleeting. Time has passed (“mil noches”), yet the memory still lingers. She can still feel it, smell it, remember it. And she knows the other person carries it too, even if their lives went in different directions. It’s about how some encounters tattoo themselves into your mind, even if they were never meant to last.
There’s also a bittersweet acceptance running through the lyrics. They’re distant now, they’ve moved on, but she knows that when this person eventually loves someone else, they’ll miss her — because no one will recreate that exact energy. In that sense, the song feels less like a dedication to a specific person and more like an ode to a moment that shaped both of them. Some people aren’t meant to stay — but their impact does.
The music video explores dreamlike, fantastical themes with a touch of surrealism. And indeed, the music video for ‘ÚNICA,’ directed by Stillz and filmed in Malibu, feels straight out of a dream.
Lyrics of ‘Única’ — English Translation
[Refrain]
Unique
Your mouth kissing me all over in such a unique way
So many people in the world, and that night I was the only one
We gave it all, knowing it would be the only time (Yeah)
[Chorus]
A thousand nights have passed
And you’re still so present, eh-eh
The smell of that moment, baby
It stayed forever, eh-eh
And even if we’re distant
I know you feel it too
And when you love someone, baby
I know you’re gonna miss me, eh-eh
[Verse]
Because I think of you when someone kisses me
Baby, your memory won’t let me go
Everything we did stayed
Like a tattoo in my mind
Nothing could go wrong, you and I on the same wavelength
The phone rang, he told me: “Don’t answer
Stay with me, ma’”
[Chorus]
A thousand nights have passed
And you’re still so present, eh-eh
The smell of that moment, baby
It stayed forever, eh-eh
And even if we’re distant
I know you feel it too
And when you love someone, baby—
[Refrain]
You’re gonna remember that with me, the night was unique
Your mouth kissing me all over in such a unique way
So many people in the world, and that night I was the only one (Ah)
We gave it all, knowing it would be the only time (Ah).
