Listen to “Culpables” by Karol G and Anuel Aa
The song speaks how both of the singers are trapped in a loveless marriage. They are both being cheated on by their spouses. Because of this, these two people are drawn away from their spouses and into each other.
“Each betrayal is paid with a new betrayal.”
Despite the taboo aspect of this song, it really is a love song, and Karol and Anuel do an amazing job in confessing their love to each other.
The music video does an equally brilliant job in capturing their forbidden love. The video is not oversexualized, but limits to some romantic gestures.
