‘Loco’ by Neton Vega is practically the only Latin music song present in the Top 50 most-streamed songs in the United States on Spotify, alongside ‘DtMF’ by Bad Bunny and ‘Ojos Tristes’ by Selena Gómez, Benny Blanco, and The Marías. It also holds a prominent spot on the most-played chart on Apple Music in April 2025. This track has gone viral thanks to TikTok, with videos created now nearing 200,000.

The success of ‘Loco’ (‘Crazy’) marks the continuation of the rise and recognition of Mexican music in the United States. Neton (real name: Luis Ernesto Vega Carvajal) is a Mexican singer-songwriter from La Paz, Baja California Sur, who honors his roots through the rhythms of this song and others, such as ‘Te Quería Ver’ alongside Alemán, which have also performed well on U.S. charts.

In ‘Loco’, Neton follows in the footsteps of Peso Pluma and the corridos tumbados top guys (Junior H, Gabito Ballesteros, Chino Pacas…), speaking about attraction, parties, and recklessness.

Neton Vega’s ‘Loco’ has become a symbol of the Mexican musical wave taking over not only in his homeland but across the U.S.

Neton Vega’s ‘Loco’: Lyrics in English

Hey, dude, I don’t make mistakes
If I drop a reggaeton, that booty’s bouncing, bouncing
Go ahead, turn it on, dude, I’ve got a hit here
The little I know, the sensei taught me

Hey, dude, I don’t make mistakes
If I drop a reggaeton, that booty’s bouncing, bouncing
Go ahead, turn it on, dude, I’ve got a hit here
The little I know, the sensei taught me

Baby, once again, let me try a little
I drop by suddenly, I’m the one who makes her melt
My mother-in-law didn’t like me, honestly, I didn’t like her either
They told the lady I was smoking weed

And even though we’re not together anymore, if she wants, I’ll touch her
She walks out in slippers with her little dress
She says I never change, that my eyes are red
I pull out the car, blast the music, and the smoke comes out from the sunroof

And no, and no, don’t tell me no
I know well, I know you liked it
And no, and no, don’t tell me no
I know well, I know you liked it

Your friend told me that your heart’s broken

Since I’ve been free, I’ve been going crazy
Melday, I don’t need your powder
I borrowed some from others and I’m crazy again

Your friend told me that your heart’s broken
Since I’ve been free, I’ve been going crazy
Melday, I don’t need your powder
I borrowed some from others and I’m crazy again

If you call me, you know I’ll steal you away
Like always, you know I’m alone
If you call me, you know I’ll steal you away
Like always, you know I’m alone

Your friend told me that your heart’s broken
Since I’ve been free, I’ve been going crazy
Melday, I don’t need your powder
I borrowed some from others and I’m crazy again

Your friend told me that your heart’s broken
Since I’ve been free, I’ve been going crazy
Melday, I don’t need your powder
I borrowed some from others and I’m crazy again

And if you call me, you know I’ll steal you away
Like always, you know I’m alone
If you call me, you know I’ll steal you away
Like always, you know I’m alone
