“Amores Fingidos” is a heartfelt serenade where Carlos y José wears his heart on his sleeve and sings straight to his chaparrita—an affectionate nickname for a petite, beloved woman. With the warm, nostalgic sound of norteño music behind him, he proclaims that she is “el bien de mi vida,” the very good that gives his life meaning. Each line is a loving plea: “correspóndale a mi amor,” “please, return my love.”
The title means “Pretend Loves,” and the singer wants nothing to do with them. He questions why anyone would settle for relationships that are fake or already claimed by someone else, when genuine devotion is right here in front of her. The song becomes an invitation to choose real, undivided love over empty flirtations—a romantic promise carried by sweet accordion riffs and Carlos y José’s earnest voice.
