Como Lo Hice Yo is a heartbreak confessional in true cantina style. French singer Matisse teams up with Mexico’s Carin León to tell the story of someone who wishes they had literally kept their eyes shut the moment their ex walked by. From the first stolen kiss to the last bitter tear, the narrator rewinds every scene, scolding himself for ignoring the red flags of a dazzling but damaging love. The chorus feels like a tipsy shout from a barstool: he never used to drink, yet now no shot of tequila can wash away the sting of being replaced.
The song swings between regret, anger, and lingering devotion. He watches his ex parade a new partner and wants to warn the poor guy, “Run while you can!” Even so, the ache refuses to leave, proving that some loves dig deeper than we expect. With brisk guitars and aching harmonies, Como Lo Hice Yo becomes both a cautionary tale and a bittersweet sing-along for anyone who has ever drowned their sorrows in music and mezcal.
