Breakups can feel like a battlefield, and in Yo Tampoco Jay Wheeler raises his flag of independence. After his ex calls to say she’s “tired” and doesn’t feel anything for him anymore, the Puerto Rican singer fires back with playful defiance: he doesn’t want her either. Fueled by pride and a freshly minted love for the single life, Jay lists every reason he is better off alone: her heart turned to steel, she always liked the wrong things, and she never understood him. The chorus flips the typical breakup script by repeating “Yo tampoco te quiero” – “I don’t love you either” – turning rejection into a confident anthem of self-respect.
At its core, the song is a lesson in choosing yourself. Jay Wheeler’s smooth pop vocals glide over DJ Nelson’s modern beat while he vows to think of himself first, ignore her calls, and leave the past in the rear-view mirror. Instead of wallowing, he celebrates freedom with catchy hooks and clever rhymes that show how pride, hurt, and liberation blend in everyday language. Listening to this track is like eavesdropping on the final phone call of a romance, but with a rhythm that convinces you that being solo can be just as sweet as being in love.
