Necesito Un Segundo is Chayanne’s fiery break-up anthem where the singer finally calls time on a love that went from sweet to excruciating. He compares himself to a mute, blind, and deaf man who has endured far too much, declaring that love shouldn’t hurt, yet every corner of this relationship now aches. While he wanders the streets alone, his partner stays home bored, and the emotional imbalance opens a string of hidden wounds he can’t ignore any longer.
With Latin-pop flair and a dose of witty sarcasm, Chayanne pauses—“I need a second”—to process the chaos. In that heartbeat of reflection he realizes: she’s not that amazing and he’s definitely not that small. He tells her to grab the half of his heart she stole, erase his number, and shut the door on her way out. The track becomes a self-empowerment rally, celebrating the moment you choose self-love over toxic drama and singing victory to the mirror while saying goodbye to yesterday’s pain.
