The story behind
This song is not just another track on the album Mon Laferte Vol.1, but it carries an energy that can be felt from the first chord. What stands out the most is how the lyrics, direct and straightforward, blend with a rhythm that invites movement without losing the melancholic essence that surrounds it. It is not a conventional ballad, but rather a declaration that sounds like a challenge, as if every verse carried an implicit "and if this doesn't convince you, what more do you want from me". The melody, simple yet effective, plays with subtle changes that prevent the listener from getting distracted, keeping the focus on what truly matters: the message.
The song first appeared in Mon Laferte's live performances before making it onto the album. When it was finally included in the reissue of Mon Laferte Vol.1 in August 2015 —under the label Disco Valiente, part of Universal Music México— it had already gained popularity among the audience. The video, filmed in Mexico City, reflects that mix of rawness and fantasy that defines the track: from an apartment in Tlatelolco to a cabaret called Barba, passing through markets and streets, everything feels like a journey where the artist and her band —with collaborations like Juan Cirerol, Charlie Montanna, and Vincent Van Rock— weave a visual story that ends with an unexpected twist in the lyrics. The duration, just over three minutes, is perfect so the song doesn't drag on or feel too short, always leaving the listener wanting more.
