SONG MEANING

Natalia Lafourcade’s “Busca Un Problema” is a playful anthem of late-night rebellion. The song paints the scene of a young person sneaking out, rummaging for a cigarette, and racing into the night in search of adventure. With quick, catchy commands like “Busca, busca” and “Corre, corre,” Natalia captures the adrenaline rush of breaking rules while the rest of the world sleeps. Every line feels like a dare: skip curfew, miss the ride home, let your shoes hit the floor at midnight, then worry about the excuse you will give dad tomorrow.

Beneath the mischief lies a bigger message: personal freedom comes with consequences, but the choice is yours. Parents can ground you, kick you out, or ban your drinks, yet the chorus reminds us “tú eres dueño de tu vida” — you are the owner of your life. The song celebrates that exhilarating moment when a teenager realizes rules exist, yet autonomy is irresistible. “Busca Un Problema” invites listeners to taste independence, feel the thrill of risk, and decide for themselves where the night (and life) will lead.
