Un Puño de Tierra is Becky G’s spirited salute to living with no chains and no regrets. In this fresh take on a beloved regional Mexican classic, the bicultural star places herself in the shoes of a carefree wanderer who drifts from port to port, drinks when she feels like it, and refuses to let anyone claim her heart. The lyrics paint her as a seagull in constant flight, savoring every sunset because, to her, life is nothing but a dream.
Yet beneath the party-ready attitude lies a deeper message: everything we chase is temporary. When death comes, we leave with nothing but “un puño de tierra” – a small fistful of soil. That blunt reminder turns the song into a rallying cry to indulge responsibly, speak honestly, and collect memories instead of possessions. Becky G’s version invites listeners to dance, sing, and, most of all, embrace the fleeting beauty of the present moment.
