CONTENTS SUMMARY
Te Lo Agradezco (I Appreciate It)
Quisiera volver a ser
La misma de siempre
Y quisiera pensar que no he cambiado en nada
Y es mentira
I wish that I could be again
The same as always
And I wish to think that I haven't changed at all
And that's a lie

“Te Lo Agradezco” pairs Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García with Mexican star Carin León for a fiery thank-you note that drips with sarcasm. Over a Latin pop-meets-regional groove, the narrator looks her ex straight in the eye and says gracias… for wrecking her life! Why? Because every lie and heartbreak pushed her to rediscover herself, shake off old baggage, and come back stronger. When she belts out “Tú me jodiste la vida… Te lo agradezco,” she is really celebrating her own rebirth, not the relationship.

The song flips the typical breakup script. Instead of wallowing, Kany and Carin serve a cocktail of lime, salt, and liberation, telling the cowardly ex that his “fake love” was exactly the push she needed. There is no room for bitter torch songs here; the ex does not even deserve a rola de despecho. The repeated line “Ay, este amor a ti te quedó grande” (“This love was too big for you”) seals the deal: the relationship may be over, but self-love now takes center stage, and that’s worth one big, cheeky thank you.

Llorar Por Ella (To Cry For Her)
Ya me han dicho que el tiempo cura todo
Pero es una mentira
Que las penas las ahogue con la peda
Pero así no se le olvida
They've already told me that time heals everything
But it's a lie
Because I drown my sorrows with drinking
But like this you don't forget

Llorar Por Ella is a tequila-scented confessional where Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García and Mexican crooner Eden Muñoz swap verses like late-night bar buddies. Wrapped in Regional Mexican guitars and acordeón, the duo admit that time doesn't heal all wounds; every shot only sharpens the memory of her taste. The chorus — “Corazón, corazón, hay que llorar por ella” — turns their broken hearts into a sing-along battle cry, urging listeners to let the tears flow because bottles can’t wash away real love.

Behind the catchy cantina vibe lies a stubborn hope. Even while vowing not to call or text, they cling to the idea that life spins in circles and maybe, just maybe, she’ll walk back through the door. It’s a song for anyone who has ever tried to drown nostalgia, only to find it swimming right beside them, reminding us that some kisses linger longer than any buzz.

La Culpa (The Guilt)
Una copa de vino que encuentro tirada en el suelo
Me recuerda que anoche, fue más de lo que yo pensaba
La cabeza, que solo da vueltas y busca consuelo
Tu mensaje, que vino seguido con una llamada
A glass of wine that I find spilled on the floor
Reminds me that last night was more than I thought
My head, that only spins and looks for comfort
Your message, that came followed by a call

“La Culpa” pairs Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García with Venezuelan band Rawayana for a cheeky, tropical confession. Over bouncing Caribbean rhythms, the storytellers retrace a steamy summer night in Santurce where a citywide blackout, cheap rum and live plena music blur the lines between fun and recklessness. Pockets are emptied, names are forgotten, yet the chorus insists that “the blame belongs to my drunkenness”.

Behind the humor, the lyrics nod to real Caribbean life: unreliable electricity, sweltering heat and the urge to escape it all by partying in the streets. The song celebrates spontaneity, friendship and fleeting romance while gently mocking the excuses we make after too many drinks. It is a vibrant snapshot of how Latin America’s everyday struggles can still end in laughter, dance and unexpected kisses lit only by candlelight.

La Siguiente (The Next One)
Me está gustando la mujer que poco a poco he podido rescatar
Tenías razón cuando decías aquel día
Que tenía que cambiar
Tenía que cambiar de novio y compañero
I'm liking the woman that little by little I've managed to rescue
You were right when you said that day
That I had to change
I had to change boyfriend and partner

La Siguiente is a fiery dialogue between two ex-lovers who finally see their relationship for what it was. Kany García steps forward with self-love in high gear, celebrating the new woman she has “rescued.” She lists everything she changed: boyfriend, mindset, even ripping him out “from the root.” For her, love used to rank third on his priority list—after him and, well, him again. Now she is happily moving on and warns him not to worry about her anymore. If he must worry, let it be about the next woman he dates.

Christian Nodal replies from the other side of heartbreak. He admits he was a stray dog who never learned to love, too afraid to speak up when it mattered. While she thinks he is chasing “the next,” he is still crying over their memories. He confesses that for him love was always first, but his fear made him act like it wasn’t. In the end, both singers stand firm in their lessons: she is convinced she never wants to see him again, and he realizes that without her, there might not be a “next” at all.

Que Vuelva (Let Him Come Back)
Desde cuando vive en ti cada razón para dejarme ir
No quieras mentir
De haber sabido la verdad, tú no tendrías heridas que sanar
Y duele pensar
Since when does every reason to let me go live inside you
Don't try to lie
If you had known the truth, you wouldn't have wounds to heal
And it hurts to think

Que Vuelva brings together Puerto Rican powerhouse Kany García and Mexican songstress Carla Morrison for a tender yet fierce conversation with an ex-lover. Floating over gentle guitars and soaring harmonies, the narrator hears the easy request “que vuelva” – come back – from the very person who once let her slip away. The song immediately sets up the tension: heartfelt nostalgia clashes with the memory of nights spent in tears, searching for comfort in friends, and slowly stitching a broken heart back together.

At its core, the track is about self-worth. Yes, there is nostalgia and lingering affection – “Te extraño, pero no me basta” – but there is also a new-found strength that refuses to let a simple apology rewrite history. García and Morrison turn the chorus into both a lament and a line in the sand. They remind us that love demands more than just words; it asks for timing, honesty, and genuine effort. The result is a powerful anthem for anyone who has rebuilt themselves after heartache and learned that, sometimes, the bravest thing to say is no.

Hoy Ya Me Voy (Today I'm Leaving)
Se puede intentar hacer canciones
El hombre ha hecho tanto por el arte
Se puede intentar romper paredes
Y luego hacer casas gigantes
We can try writing songs
Man has done so much for art
We can try breaking walls
And then build giant houses

Hoy Ya Me Voy is a heartfelt farewell wrapped in Latin pop warmth. Kany García paints the picture of a love story where effort, talent, and good intentions simply cannot manufacture genuine feeling. She compares human achievements—building towering houses, creating art—to the one thing she cannot master: truly loving someone who loves her deeply. The song follows her bittersweet decision to walk away, wishing her partner a “buen viaje” while acknowledging that desire alone can never replace real love.

Listening to this track is like reading a personal diary entry set to music. You will feel her mix of relief and sorrow as she admits she sacrificed her own happiness to try to meet her partner’s expectations. Ultimately, the song reminds us that letting go can be an act of kindness to both people involved, proving that honesty and self-respect are sometimes the most powerful expressions of love.

Fuera De Servicio (Out Of Service)
Otro viernes en el filo de la puerta
Que se asoma a provocar desde el inicio
Y me llaman y no les contesto
Sé que debo salirme de esto
Another Friday on the Edge of the Door
What looks to provoke from the beginning
And they call me and I don't answer them
I know I have to get out of this

Have you ever felt so heartbroken that you just wanted to shut the world out? In "Fuera De Servicio," which means "Out of Service," Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García paints a vivid picture of this exact feeling. The song is a powerful anthem for anyone who needs to take a break from life to heal. The singer describes being "out of service"—ignoring calls from friends and choosing to stay home with a drink and old songs instead of going out on a Friday night.

The lyrics reveal a deep sadness following a breakup. The singer's smile has "gone on vacation," and they feel like a broken record, or a "remix that nobody wants to listen to anymore," because they can't stop talking about their pain. They push back against people who don't understand why they're still hurting and tell them to just forget their ex. The song is a heartfelt plea for patience and space, acknowledging that while time might heal all wounds, "today it still hurts."

Mi Plan De Vida [con Abel Pintos] (My Life Plan [with Abel Pintos])
Voy a intentarlo
Aún cuando todos dicen que hemos perdido
Prefiero seguir remando, que anclar el barco
Y seguir andado y saltando charcos
I'm going to try it
Even when everyone says that we have lost
I prefer to keep rowing, than anchor the ship
And keep walking and jumping puddles

In this passionate duet, Puerto Rican artist Kany García and Argentine singer Abel Pintos sing about a love worth fighting for. The lyrics describe a deep commitment to a relationship, even when others think it's doomed. The singers would rather keep trying, or "seguir remando" (keep rowing), and overcome obstacles than give up and live with regret. It's a powerful plea to a loved one, asking them to listen to the heart, not to logic.

The song is a beautiful declaration of wanting to build a life together. The central idea is found in the line "Mi plan de vida es morir contigo" (My life plan is to die with you). The singers express a desire to fill every day with affection, making each night feel like an anniversary and being the source of their partner's happiness. They use poetic images like wanting their partner's name to be their "abecedario" (alphabet) and wanting to be the coffee they have for breakfast, showing a wish to be part of every small, intimate moment of their partner's life.

Para Siempre (Forever)
Amor, déjame ser yo lo primero
Que se asome allí en tu almohada
Que tu pecho sea siempre donde apoyaré mi cara
Y que hagas nudo con mis piernas
Love, let me be the first thing
That peeks there on your pillow
That your chest is always where I'll rest my face
And that you make a knot with my legs

“Para Siempre” (Forever) by Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García is a heartfelt love letter wrapped in mellow Latin pop. From the very first Amor, déjame ser yo lo primero…, the song paints the picture of a partner who wants to be the first thought on your pillow and the last heartbeat before sleep. It is intimate, cozy, and beautifully ordinary – celebrating shared pillows, tangled legs, and whispered words that fall asleep in the listener’s ear.

Kany’s lyrics go beyond simple romance. She dreams of a lifelong partnership where the couple is lovers, best friends, and favorite story all at once. The chorus – Déjame abrazarte para siempre – turns into a loving vow: to hold, kiss, and walk hand-in-hand anywhere life leads. It is a promise of constant support, like the white foam that never stops reaching the shoreline. In short, the song is an ode to choosing someone every single day, affirming, “I was born to love you.”

Que Te Vaya Mal (I Hope Things Go Bad For You)
Con esta guitarra maltrecha
Escribo esta historia de dos
Pa' hablar de ti con lazo y cuerda
Sería muy halagador
With this battered guitar
I write this story of two
To talk about you with ribbon and rope
That would be very flattering

“Que Te Vaya Mal” feels like an unapologetic musical voodoo doll. With her trademark Puerto Rican flair, Kany García turns a battered guitar into a weapon of lyrical justice, declaring that a cheating ex deserves every ounce of bad luck the universe can throw his way. The chorus is a catchy wish for cosmic payback; she is not interested in reconciliation, only in watching him squirm for the lies and betrayal he served her.

Beneath the spicy insults and playful rhythms, the song champions self-respect. It reminds listeners that it is okay to call out deception and celebrate the freedom that follows cutting toxic ties. Expect fiery vocabulary, contagious Latin grooves, and a bold message: sometimes the happiest party is the one you throw in honor of your own healing.
