Prince Royce turns heartbreak into a sing-along confession in Matar El Sentimiento. Over smooth bachata rhythms, he pours one drink after another while memories of his ex flood back. He questions whether her new partner can really give her the sparkle, passion and tender kisses they once shared, and he is convinced the answer is no. The song captures that bittersweet moment when you know you should say goodbye but every beat of the music keeps the love alive inside your chest.
With a mix of vulnerable Spanish lyrics and Royce’s trademark charisma, the track paints love as a stubborn guest that refuses to leave. Each chorus is a plea for help: How do I kill this feeling? Yet even as he tries to drown the pain in alcohol and bravado, his heart admits defeat. The result is an irresistible blend of sadness, swagger and Dominican-American warmth that invites listeners to dance through their own emotional storms.
