“ANTAGONISTA” flips the fairytale script. Belén Aguilera sings about ditching the predictable happily-ever-after and choosing the darker, messier role instead. Tired of being the main character who must always smile, she embraces her inner rebel, ready to “mess with the protagonist” and indulge every raw instinct. The lyrics celebrate a fierce kind of self-love: using her body, feeding on external thrills, and letting anger replace tears. It is a liberation anthem for anyone who has felt boxed in by perfection and wants to shout, “I’ll do it all wrong, on purpose!”
The song captures that electric moment when heartbreak turns into bold defiance. Aguilera reminds listeners that being smart does not have to mean being nice, and sometimes reclaiming your power means leaning into the role society labels “bad.” With punchy pop production behind her, she transforms pain into playful villainy, proving that the antagonist can be just as unforgettable as the hero. Listeners are left pumped to own their flaws, dance off their rage, and write an ending that is anything but predictable.
