Music and lyrics

"Modo Capone" is a song of the corridos tumbados subgenre. On the near end of the song, it transitions into a hip hop beat, which features hi-hats and a synth line.[4] Drake, lyrically, sings about money, wearing jewelery and fleeing to Toronto with a woman. It is the third Spanish-language song Drake has been featured on, and his first since the 2018 single "Mia".[5]

"Modo Capone" was released on 18 October 2024, through Geffen, Street Mob and PFL, as part of Chino Pacas' debut studio album Que Sigan Llegando las Pacas (2024) and as its sixth single.[6] Upon release, it was met with generally favorable commentary from publications, although opinions from fans were mixed.[7] [8]
