SONG MEANING

In Mi Pecado, Mexican pop trio Reik teams up with actress-singer Maite Perroni to confess a love that feels as irresistible as it is forbidden. From the very first line, the narrator believes his destiny was sealed the moment he met her. No matter how many obstacles the world throws their way, her caricias (caresses), her voice, and the faith shining in her eyes have branded his soul forever. Loving her is portrayed as both salvation and sin: he finds heaven in her arms yet calls her mi pecado—my sin—suggesting an intense passion that breaks rules and defies reason.

The chorus underlines this sweet contradiction: Eres tú, sólo tú, la razón por la que viviré (You, only you, are the reason I will live). Even when they are apart, her memory lingers like a beautiful ache. The song’s repeated confession “Siempre te amé” (I always loved you) drives home the idea that true love can be unstoppable, enduring, and deliciously transgressive. By the end, when he asks ¿Cuál es el tuyo? (What’s yours?), the singer invites us to reflect on our own “beautiful sins”—those powerful loves we simply cannot, and perhaps should not, resist.

ARTIST BIO

Reik is a Mexican pop rock band hailing from Mexicali, Baja California, formed in 2003 by Jesús Alberto Navarro Rosas (lead vocals), Julio Ramírez Eguía (guitar), and Gilberto Marín Espinoza (guitar). Known for their heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies, the band initially captured fans with their romantic Latin pop sound through albums like their self-titled debut and "Un Día Más," which won a Latin Grammy.

Since 2015, Reik has evolved by embracing urban influences, collaborating with reggaeton stars such as Nicky Jam, Ozuna, and Maluma. This transition revitalized their music, earning them chart-topping hits like "Me Niego" and "Amigos Con Derechos," and expanding their popularity across Latin America and beyond. With multiple awards and a dynamic sound that blends pop rock and Latin urban styles, Reik continues to be a leading force in contemporary Latin music.
