Overview
"Plan A" is a song by Argentine rapper and singer Paulo Londra. The song was released by Warner Music Latina on 23 March 2022 as the lead single from Londra's second studio album, Back to the Game (2022). The song was written by Londra alongside its producers Federico Colazo and Matías Rapacioli (the producer-duo known as Hot Plug) and Federico Vindver.
"Plan A" has been called a punk-rock heartbreak song that narrates the end of a relationship. The song debuted at number one on the Billboard Argentina Hot 100 with less than two tracking days, becoming Londra's third number-one single on the chart following "Cuando Te Besé and "Adán y Eva" in 2018.
Background
For two and a half years, Londra was unable to continue releasing songs due to a legal conflict between him and music producers Cristian Salazar (Kristo) and Daniel Oviedo (Ovy On The Drums), and the Big Ligas label, whom he accused of manipulating his contract and con him out of keeping the rights to his songs until 2025. After two years of trial, on November 10, 2021, he finally managed to dissociate himself on good terms from Big Leagues, the producer, in a hearing held in Miami, according to a report released by Billboard.
Structure
"Plan A" begins playing on a piano base that seems to anticipate a register close to a breakup ballad while Londra sings about wanting to obtain clarity in a relationship. Then, from the seventeenth second on, a dramatic drum beat kicks in and the chorus gets a boost from amplified guitars, adding some intensity to the track and establishing a different sound for Londra, who was heavily embedded in the latin trap scene from Argentina. Subsequently, before the minute, the rock insinuation ends up being exhibited as a personal reinterpretation of the punk-rock-pop typical of the early 21st century.
