The story behind
This version of Voy a olvidarme de mí sounds like a sincere outpouring, as if the rhythm and melody were the reflection of a decision made after much thought. There’s something in its structure that makes it different: it’s not just a closing song, but a closure that feels definitive. The track moves forward with a cadence that doesn’t stay still, as if each chord were there to remind you that what comes next won’t be the same.
She recorded it at the same moment she finished putting together the rest of the album, in 2004, when the album El rock de mi pueblo already had its shape but still needed the final details. It wasn’t a song meant to be the grand finale, but one that slipped in among the tracks and ended up staying with that air of inevitability. Its duration, just over three minutes, gives it that perfect balance between intensity and impact without losing freshness.
