Reemplázame is the command form of the verb reemplazar, and it literally means "Replace me". It's a powerful and dramatic word that you won't hear every day.
In this heartbreaking song, the singer is so incapable of getting over his ex that he begs her to find someone new. It's a selfless yet desperate plea, hoping that seeing her with someone else will finally give him the closure he can't find on his own.
Have you ever tried to move on from someone, only to realize you are completely useless at doing it on your own? That is the exact mess Morat unpacks in this catchy folk pop track. The singer tries putting himself first for once with the line "por fin hoy pienso en mí" [finally today I think of myself], but immediately admits he cannot let go. He keeps treating the breakup like a brief intermission instead of the end of the story ("no fue un final / Sino un alto en el cuento" [it wasn't an end / but a pause in the story]). The Spanish phrase "darte por perdida" literally means "to give you up for lost," and it describes that stubborn refusal to accept that someone is truly gone from your life.
His desperate, backwards solution to the problem is hilarious and painful at the same time: he begs his ex to do the hard emotional work for him. In the chorus, he practically pleads, "enamórate de alguien más / Reemplázame que no soy capaz" [fall in love with someone else / replace me because I'm not capable]. He asks her to ignore him and literally give him a reason to hate her ("Dame una excusa para odiarte" [Give me an excuse to hate you]) because holding onto "un recuerdo amable" [a kind memory] of her voice is making it impossible to move forward.
The four of Morat met at school in Bogotá, Colombia, and were playing as Malta by late 2011, renamed before the first record. Juan Pablo Isaza sings and plays guitar, Juan Pablo Villamil plays the banjo that gives their pop its country tilt, and the Vargas brothers hold the bottom end, Simón on bass and Martín on percussion.
They broke out in 2015, first on Paulina Rubio's "Mi nuevo vicio" and then with their own "Cómo te atreves". Sobre el amor y sus efectos secundarios (2016) led to Balas perdidas (2018), a number one in Spain and Mexico with "Besos en guerra" alongside Juanes plus "No se va", which Grupo Frontera's 2022 cover turned into their most-streamed song. ¿A dónde vamos? (2021) and Si ayer fuera hoy (2022) followed, then Ya es mañana (2025), their first Latin Grammy winner, for Best Pop/Rock Album. Its tour opened with six nights at Bogotá's Movistar Arena in August 2026, and a May 2026 duet with Silvestre Dangond, "Lo poco que yo quiero", previews a second volume.
