This is an energetic street-pop track focused on the theme of transactional loyalty and fake love in the face of wealth. Mohbad uses the phrase “la pio pio” (to lick the sweetness/benefits) to describe how people flock to him when he is successful, but warns they will “japa” (flee) the moment he runs out of money. Itβs a cynical yet rhythmic observation on the shallow nature of fair-weather friends who only stick around for the financial gains.
