Fun facts

Julieta Venegas released "Me Voy" as the first single from her album Limón y Sal, which came out in 2006. The song was her most successful up to that point. In 2025, Rolling Stone included it among the best songs in Spanish of the 21st century.

The story behind

Julieta Venegas wrote Me voy, a song of farewell that sounds like a letter written between two people who are no longer together. The song is part of the album Limón y Sal, released in 2006. It was the first single from the album and became one of its most successful tracks.

The lyrics talk about a breakup, of a woman who leaves, but not as if she were running away. It is a slow goodbye, with a touch of nostalgia and a feeling that perhaps one day they might reunite. The melody is soft, with a rhythm that recalls the ranchera, but with a pop base that makes it more accessible. The song was recorded in 2005 in a studio in Buenos Aires, and was produced by Cachorro López. The video for the song, directed by Picky Tallarico, shows Julieta on an imaginary balloon ride, visiting different places and always ending up alone. It is a visual way of reflecting the idea of the song: the loneliness of a farewell.
