Colombian rising star MILO J has taken the Latin Urban scene by storm with his latest single, “3 Pecados Despues…” (3 Sins After…). Released in July 2024, the song and its accompanying music video have quickly become a sensation, captivating audiences with its infectious energy, catchy melody, and a touch of Colombian flair.
A Reggaeton Recipe for Success
“3 Pecados Despues…” is a textbook example of a successful reggaeton song. Produced by ZECCA, Lisan, and MILO J himself, the track boasts a driving beat, infectious rhythm, and a minimalist soundscape that allows the artist’s vocals to shine. The song incorporates the classic elements of reggaeton – catchy hooks, rhythmic rapping verses, and a touch of sensuality – but with a fresh twist. The subtle incorporation of traditional Colombian instruments like the “tiple” (a small, four-stringed guitar) in the bridge adds a unique flavor that instantly connects the song to its Colombian roots.
Lyrics that Speak to the Heart
While the reggaeton genre can sometimes be criticized for its focus on braggadocio and materialism, “3 Pecados Despues…” takes a different approach. The lyrics, penned by [Lyricist’s name, if available], delve into themes of regret, redemption, and the yearning for a lost love. Lines like “Tres pecados después y aun te pienso” (Three sins later and I still think of you) and “Te juro que he cambiado” (I swear I’ve changed) showcase the vulnerability of the narrator, creating a connection with listeners who have experienced similar emotions.
A Candy-Colored Celebration
The music video, directed by Santi Chaher, perfectly complements the song’s energy. Shot against a backdrop of pastel colors and playful sets, the video takes inspiration from the Barbie-esque aesthetic seen in many K-Pop music videos. MILO J and his crew are adorned in colorful outfits, exuding a youthful charm and vibrant energy. This visual aesthetic, while seemingly lighthearted, is juxtaposed with the song’s message of regret and longing, creating an interesting tension that keeps the viewer engaged.
A Touch of Colombian Pride
Despite the modern pop aesthetic, the video features subtle nods to Colombian culture. In one scene, MILO J and his friends are seen enjoying a game of dominoes, a popular pastime in Colombia. These seemingly small details showcase MILO J’s pride in his heritage and connect him to his Colombian audience.
Breaking Records and Building Buzz
“3 Pecados Despues…” has already achieved remarkable success. Within 24 hours of its release, the music video amassed over 2 million views on YouTube, becoming the top trending video for music. This feat highlights MILO J’s growing popularity and the immense support he receives from Colombian fans.

Y hay que prohibir el Auto-Tune, muchas gracias
Otro negrito cantor del west, tres pecados después
No hay game porque, pushdown
Me miran mal y me tratan bien
No vi un “Feliz Navidad” de ninguno, colgado del 166
Me agrandé, chúpenmela, ah, desvinculándome
Dopándome en un beat, armándome de G reales
Para la mente hay PIN, quieren saber de mí, paren
Brindo por vos, por mí, mamá, papá y dos, tres chacales
BW casi que en mis veins, mai, antes de la fame
Millo antes de los twenty y si un día tengo un Bentley
No va a ser de alquiler, me lo gané
Para el lujo, para el Fendi, botellas y confeti
Un día hubo sed, había un porqué
Estaba el plan B, pero no me gustó
Yo quería comer, no vivir como un boss (Uh)
Pero en esta vida tocó, mi alma sola se autopremió por todo lo que se recorrió
La psicóloga recomendó que baje treinta cambios porque vivo en x2
Que parecía encomendado del boss y no estaba hablando de Dios
No es por ego, ¿pero quién como yo? ¿Quién como yo? ¿Quién como yo?
(Concha de tu ma) Yeah, dice
Otro negrito cantor del west, tres pecados después
No hay game porque, pushdown
Me miran mal y me tratan bien
No vi un “Feliz Navidad” de ninguno, colgado del 166
Me agrandé, chúpenmela, ah, desvinculándome
