In the music video for “Hawái,” Maluma tells a story of a devastated man who witnesses his ex-girlfriend get married to her new boyfriend. The storyline provides glimpses into how toxic Maluma’s relationship was with his onscreen ex-girlfriend. It also reveals that both feel remorseful for not working through their problems. At the end of the video, Maluma crashes the wedding and security drags him out. The ex-girlfriend runs out and asks Maluma to give their relationship another chance. However, the distraught lover drives away and leaves her in the distance. The music video serves as a metaphor for dysfunctional romantic relationships and points out the necessity to move on from a hurtful past.
