“Me Necesita” by Prettymuch & CNCO

Sentimentally, “Me Necesita” is more or less your average young adult love song. As far as its storyline, it is a tale of mutual romantic infatuation, if you will, between the singer and the addressee (his girlfriend). Or more to the point, the vocalist’s romantic interest is the lady being described in the title. 

Meaning of “Me Necesita”

And “me necesita” translates to “she needs me”. So the song is premised on his lover’s dependency on him. And the way it reads is as if this dependency is carnal in nature. But that is not to insinuate that the relationship is trivial.  Indeed to the contrary, the singer is smitten with her also. In fact, as mentioned earlier, the strong feelings flowing in their relationship appear to be reciprocal. 

So it is easy to see that this is indeed a love song. But let’s just say there’s a special emphasis on the physical side of the romance, as in the main appeal between the singer and his partner being based on looks, i.e. the two of them linking up in a setting like a club.

“Me Necesita” is the first collaboration between CNCO and Prettymuch. In fact Prettymuch member Edwin Honoret has speculated that this is indeed “the first time two boy bands have been on a song together”. But is this really true? Well, that’s something we would have to check!
