Verse 1
I hope that one day it hits you that you and I
Won't be anymore, and that that shatters your heart in a thousand pieces
Because I just see you so happy
With your stories on Instagram
Verse 1
But, babe, that smile won't last you long
I know that soon you're gonna regret what happened
And you're gonna call me, when you're drunk, begging for forgiveness
And I'll look at you on the floor
And right there I'm gonna step on you
Verse 1
So that you feel what it feels like to be in my place
Chorus 1
I want things to go bad for you
And that you can't be happy even for a moment
And that you run out of water if one day you're in the desert
I'm sorry, but karma never misses
I wanna see you cry
That at night you have nightmares of remorse
And the pain you caused me eats you up inside
I'm sorry, but honestly I hope
That that chick you left me for cheats on you
Chorus 2
I want things to go bad for you
And that you can't be happy even for a moment
And that you run out of water if one day you're in the desert
I'm sorry, but karma never misses
I wanna see you cry
That at night you have nightmares of remorse
And the pain you caused me eats you up inside
I'm sorry, but honestly I hope
That that chick you left me for cheats on you

SONG MEANING

Desierto is Becky G’s no-filter revenge anthem, wrapped in a catchy Latin-pop beat. Drawing from her Mexican-American roots, she fires off vivid Spanish lines that wish every possible bad-luck scenario on the ex who ditched her. From calling out his picture-perfect Instagram life to hoping he runs out of water in a real desert, Becky turns heartbreak into bold, almost playful curses that drip with attitude.

Beneath the savage one-liners, the song is really about karma. Becky believes the pain she feels will circle back until her ex feels it too, especially when the new girl eventually cheats on him. The “desert” isn’t just a place; it’s the dry, lonely wasteland she predicts for his future. It is a fierce reminder that pretending to be happy online can’t hide genuine regret, and that sometimes the best closure is dancing while the universe handles payback.
