From the very first cumbia-tinged beat, “Mal De Amores” throws us onto a neon-lit dance floor where heartbreak meets girl-power. Becky G, the Mexican-American star, teams up with Mexican singer Sofía Reyes to tell the story of a woman who refused to stay home crying after a cheating ex. He swept her off her feet with lies, but now the only thing sweeping her away is the rhythm, a round of friends, and a strong shot of tequila. Instead of dwelling on betrayal, the song turns the pain into a party soundtrack, proving that music, laughter, and good company can heal even the worst love hangover.
Throughout the lyrics, the duo roasts the “rata inmunda” who wronged them, orders drinks “sin hielo” to warm the post-breakup chill, and buries the past on their own terms. The chorus is a catchy prescription: “Pa’l mal de amores, tequila con canciones.” Translation? “For love sickness, mix tequila with songs.” In just under three minutes, Becky G and Sofía Reyes transform heartbreak into a bold celebration of independence, inviting every listener to sing, dance, and toast to moving on.
