The Weeknd Sings In Spanish On Maluma’s New ‘Hawái’ Remix

The Latin hit has gotten a boost from one of 2020’s biggest stars. …

Maluma had himself a Latin hit this summer with “Hawái,” which topped the Billboard Hot Latin Songs chart as well as charts in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Panama, and Spain. He also performed it at this year’s MTV VMAs. Now the song has gotten a second wind thanks to a remix featuring one of 2020’s biggest stars: The Weeknd.

The video begins with The Weeknd singing the song on a club stage, and he sings on his opening verse, “So now he’s your heaven / You’re lying to yourself and him to make me jealous / You put on such an act when you’re sleepin’ together / All this ’cause I said I don’t want marriage / I don’t want marriage.” On the hook, he gets some Spanish lyrics in, too.

Maluma recently said of the song, “This is one of my favorite tracks. It was written [by several of Maluma’s longtime collaborators] in a song camp in Hawaii. Then the song reached [songwriter/producer] Edgar Barrera and she showed it to me. I fell in love with the intro chorus and I wrote the verse. When I finished recording I called my management and said, ‘Boys, I have the first single.’ And that was the beginning of this Papi Juancho project. It was one of the few songs I recorded before COVID. And it’s a very real song, very from the heart, with good lyrics, and good content. Truth is, I get bored of the same old reggaeton. It’s good to add lyrical content to the songs.”

Ava Claire unveils a fearless emotion on latest release “Honestly”

“Honeslty” is a confident introduction from Ava Claire, a song that embraces emotional complexity without sacrificing melody. Written by Ava Claire and produced by Eric Arjes, the release combines vivid storytelling with genre-bending production to create a listening experience that feels deeply personal, yet universally relatable. From the very beginning, the song sets a mood where honesty is its strongest suit.

The heart of the track is a raw reflection on the intrusive thoughts that come with knowing you’ll eventually break someone’s heart. Rather than avoiding uncomfortable emotions, Ava Claire plunges into them with fearless vulnerability and razor-sharp lyricism. The songwriting is refreshingly sincere in its expression of the conflict between love and guilt, so every lyric feels considered and emotionally rooted.

“Honestly” makes a lasting impact because it prioritizes authenticity over easy answers.

The collaboration brings a new songwriter to the fore, one who is willing to face difficult emotions, and that’s a quality that makes her stand out. Ava Claire’s debut statement is intimate, memorable, and compelling proof that vulnerability can be one of the most powerful tools an artist has.
