When you listen to "Hawái" from Maluma and The Weeknd, you'll probably be able to understand part of it yourself. The tune — which was written by a massive team that included both singers, per Genius — is clearly about a past relationship. In fact, if you listen to the lyrics, you'll know that the duo is singing about an ex who's moved on with someone new.

How do we know? Well, while some of the lyrics are in Spanish, Genius provided an English translation. According to the outlet, Maluma sings, "Lie to all your followers / Tell him that the times are better now / I don't believe that when I call you, you'll ignore me / If after me, there won't be anymore loves / You and I were one." He goes on to implore his ex, telling her, "If I did something bad, then forgive me / People will believe you, you play that role well / Baby, but you're not happy with him."

So, who is this ex? While The Weeknd has famously been in an on-again-off-again relationship with Bella Hadid, Maluma also has a famous former flame. He was previously with Natalia Barulich. However, he revealed to People that "Hawái" isn't about either model. "I think that everybody has these kinds of relationships or this kind of way to end a relationship," he said. "I didn't have an exact situation on my mind when I wrote the song."
