Obligas comes from the verb "obligar," meaning "to force" or "to compel" someone to do something, often against their will. In this song it's used emotionally rather than physically, describing how someone's actions leave you no choice but to react a certain way.
In "Odio Que No Te Odio," Lasso and Cami repeat "Tú me obligas, tú me obligas" ("You force me, you force me"), describing the frustrating pull of still caring about someone even though they wish they could simply stop. The repetition emphasizes how powerless they feel against that emotional hold.
Odio Que No Te Odio (“I Hate That I Don’t Hate You”) is a witty tug-of-war between resentment and affection. Venezuelan singer-songwriter Lasso teams up with Chilean powerhouse Cami to catalogue every tiny thing that should drive them crazy: the lingering perfume on a pillow, the off-beat outfits, the awkward jokes. Line after line, they fire off playful complaints that paint a vivid picture of an ex who is impossible to forget.
Yet each sarcastic jab circles back to the same confession: they just can’t bring themselves to hate this person. The chorus flips the script, admitting that behind all the “hate” lies undying love. The track turns heartbreak into humor, showing how hard it is to let go when memories are stitched into every song, scent, and smile. In the end, what they despise most is their own inability to move on, making the song a bittersweet anthem for anyone caught between I’m over you and I miss you.
