Intro 1

Why are you going to love me?

If I already said goodbye to you

If I already bid farewell from you

I don't want to know more about your kisses

Intro 2

Why are you going to love me?

I already gave you your forgiveness

The resentment has never been in me

Now, whatever you do is worth nothing to me

Verse 1

Why are you going to love me?

If we're in different stages and I already forgot you

If because of you, I screwed myself, I fell, and I got back up

The one you were with is already gone

I've come up with a couple of reasons that I've broken hearts

Trying to fill voids that you can't even fill with gallons

If this is for you to sing drunk

I only miss doing it with you without a condom

And rightly, it hurt you so little

Honestly, it wasn't me who jumped ship

And your idiotic heart

It will always miss me, baby

Chorus 1

Why are you going to love me?

If I already said goodbye to you

If I already bid farewell from you

I don't want to know more about your kisses

Why are you going to love me?

I already gave you your forgiveness

The resentment has never been in me

Now, whatever you do is worth nothing to me

Verse 2

I loved you, I wanted you

But already those days are over

Now you cry, regretful

Thinking of me while your coffee gets cold

I'm sure you miss my birthmark

And not having anyone to have breakfast with

I'm sorry, my love, I just took my place

Find another heart to play with

I was religious to you, I adored you

The moon knows how much I cried for you

When I was sad

And you never came

But it's normal, normal

Calm, I'm not going to talk badly about you

I can forgive you but never forget

Don't talk nicely to me, I say it again

Chorus 2

Why are you going to love me?

If I already said goodbye to you

If I already bid farewell from you

I don't want to know more about your kisses

Why are you going to love me?

I already gave you your forgiveness

The resentment has never been in me

Now, whatever you do is worth nothing to me

Verse 3

You won't be able to do

Plastic surgery for the soul

To change something that doesn't fail you

Your cornerstone, your cornerstone

That you're going to love me!

I existed if you imagined me

And I'd jump if you said frog

This phrase is a Spanish idiom. The expression 'decir rana' (literally 'say frog') refers to someone responding instantly or obediently to a request or command.

But I got tired of being your fool

Because you lost sensitivity

You left alone without looking back

You learned to differentiate

What seems and what is

What is written in the stars

From what is written on paper

There are other loves also

Like Forrest Gump's girlfriend

The clock on the wall says

Yes, our love ended yesterday

Why are you going to love me?

Chorus 3

Why are you going to love me?

If I already said goodbye to you

If I already bid farewell from you

I don't want to know more about your kisses

Why are you going to love me?

I already gave you your forgiveness

The resentment has never been in me

Now, whatever you do is worth nothing to me

piedra angular — cornerstone

Piedra angular literally translates to "cornerstone", the essential stone that forms the base of a building. It's a beautiful and uncommon metaphor to find in a reggaeton song.

J. Balvin sings "Tu piedra angular" (Your cornerstone) to describe how essential he was to his ex-partner's life and stability. He's reminding her that he was the fundamental piece holding her world together, making his absence all the more impactful.

This song is the ultimate post-breakup anthem for when you're completely over someone. J. Balvin and Bad Bunny team up to tell an ex that it's way too late for a second chance. The main question they keep asking is, "¿Pa' qué me vas a amar?" [Why are you going to love me?]. They've already said their goodbyes and moved on. The title comes from the killer line, "Ahora lo que hagas me vale un peso" [Now whatever you do is worth a peso to me], which is a savage way of saying they could not care less.

They get really specific about why it's over. Balvin says he's heard she's been breaking hearts trying to fill a void, and then drops the incredibly blunt line, "De ti sólo extraño hacerlo sin condones" [The only thing I miss about you is doing it without condoms]. Ouch! Bad Bunny paints a picture of her full of regret, "Pensando en mi mientras el café se te enfría" [Thinking of me while your coffee gets cold]. He reminds her that he adored her and cried for her, but now she needs to find another heart to play with. It's a song about taking your power back and realizing you're better off.
