Camilo and Grupo Firme turn heart-ache into a tipsy adventure in “Alaska”. Over lively regional Mexican rhythms, the singer keeps bumping into memories of an ex everywhere he goes – even a simple question about beer or tequila becomes an excuse to talk about her. He jokes that the only tequila he wants is to be "reposado" in her bed, and if friends think moving far away will help him forget, he quips he will head all the way to Alaska… but only to the nearest bar.
The chorus raises a glass to alcohol as both "blessed" and a "sweet torment": it hurts his health, yet it numbs the stress of missing her kisses. No matter how much he drinks, the past refuses to disappear, so he keeps toasting – "Arriba, abajo, al centro y pa’ dentro" – hoping each round will finally speed up forgetfulness. The song is a playful, upbeat confession that sometimes we hide sorrow behind laughs, loud music, and another pour.
