Review

The song “Cartagena” by Greeicy, featuring Steve Aoki, tells a story of a cautious approach to love and the desire for a meaningful relationship. The lyrics express a reluctance to give one’s heart away too quickly, emphasizing the importance of sincerity and lasting affection over fleeting moments. The protagonist invites their love interest to prove their intentions are genuine, suggesting that if they are to be loved, it should be worth the effort, with more value placed on kisses and good nights together.

The song conveys a feeling of playful yet guarded optimism. Greeicy’s lyrics weave the story by setting clear expectations for her suitor, using the backdrop of Cartagena’s beaches as a romantic setting. The narrative unfolds as follows:

Through a dance on the beach, the protagonist contemplates the possibility of love.
The picturesque beaches of Cartagena serve as the setting for this potential romance.
The song captures a moment of decision, where the protagonist is considering whether to pursue a relationship.
The protagonist is Greeicy, and her love interest.
A story about the cautious steps towards a meaningful relationship.

The song does not include explicit themes; it’s more about the emotional intricacies of starting a new relationship. It’s a fun song with a lively beat that contrasts with the thoughtful lyrics, creating an engaging and danceable tune.

In the official music video, the visuals complement the song’s theme by showcasing Greiccy and Steve dancing with cars and driving in the road. They set up a fireplace and dance in the night. They are going by a neighborhood.
