Ando Más Que Mal plunges us into the raw moment when romantic dreams collide with reality. The narrator hops on an eight-hour flight, brimming with hope, only to discover that the woman he adores never truly felt the same. His words paint a vivid timeline: the dizzy lift-off of “llegué, me ilusioné”, the crushing landing of “al fin de cuentas no me querías,” and the tear-soaked fallout where he wonders if distance or some unknown fault doomed the relationship. Every gift, every imagined future, now feels like luggage he dragged for nothing.
Yet the song is more than a breakup diary. With Eslabón Armado’s signature blend of Mexican sierreño guitar and stateside storytelling, it captures the universal journey from devastation to eventual healing. The singer admits he is “más que mal,” but he also hints at resilience: memories will fade, wounds will mend, and one day she might remember what they almost had. Listeners are left swaying between sorrow and hope, feeling every pluck of the strings as a reminder that even the deepest heartache can become a stepping-stone toward growth.
Eslabon Armado is a groundbreaking American regional Mexican group hailing from Patterson, California, with roots deeply connected to Mexico. Formed in 2017 by brothers Pedro and Brian Tovar alongside their friend Gabriel Hidalgo, the group quickly rose to prominence blending traditional sierreño sounds with modern urban and corridos tumbados styles.
Known for their heartfelt lyrics and soulful melodies, Eslabon Armado has released seven studio albums, with several topping the Regional Mexican Albums chart. Their music has earned them prestigious accolades, including multiple Billboard Music and Latin American Music Awards. The 2023 viral hit "Ella Baila Sola," featuring rapper Peso Pluma, marked a historic milestone as the first regional Mexican song to reach the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100.
With a dynamic lineup and a fresh approach to Mexican regional music, Eslabon Armado continues to captivate audiences across the Americas, making them one of the most influential acts in their genre today.
