12x3

DEKKO's song '12x3' is a heartfelt narrative about finding love and healing from past heartbreak. The lyrics convey a story of transformation and the power of a new relationship to mend a broken heart. The phrase 'en un dos por tres,' which translates to 'in a jiffy' or 'just like that,' is used throughout the song to emphasize the swift and profound impact that the protagonist's new love interest has had on their life.

The song begins with the protagonist recounting a time of feeling lost until meeting their significant other. The repeated line 'tenía el corazón partío', pero lo arreglé' ('I had a broken heart, but I fixed it') suggests a period of self-recovery that was completed or significantly aided by the arrival of this new person. The quick transition from heartbreak to love, as indicated by 'en un dos por tres,' highlights the sudden and surprising nature of falling in love.

The lyrics also touch on themes of skepticism and disbelief in love, which are overcome by the genuine connection felt with the partner. The protagonist expresses a deep commitment to their partner, wanting to be with them 'hasta el ataúd' ('until the coffin'), signifying a desire for a lifelong relationship. The song blends Spanish and English, reflecting a modern, bilingual love story, and uses urban beats typical of DEKKO's style, which often includes elements of reggaeton and Latin pop.
