I don't know the last time that I thought
That everything was okay
Trying would be useless
I've been crying for two hours and I'm still here
Seeing my smile in photos
How is it that I don't notice when I stopped feeling?
And I know, it's nobody's fault, but it's not mine either
And I don't want to be here anymore
I don't want to be here
I swear that I'm trying
To do more than enough
I want to hide in my room
Stop acting strong
I swear that I'm trying
See things differently
But the chaos that I see around me
Clouds what I have in front of me
How hard it is to grow up
Seeing my smile in photos
How is it that I don't notice when I stopped feeling?
I know that it's nobody's fault, but it's not mine either
And I don't want to be like this anymore
I don't want to anymore
I don't want to anymore
I swear that I'm trying
To do more than enough
I want to hide in my room
Stop acting strong
I swear that I'm trying
See things differently
But the chaos that I see around me
Clouds what I have in front of me
How hard it is to grow up
I love you, my love
What a spectacular thing
Can you sing another one?

SONG MEANING

Ever wish adult life came with an instruction manual? Ela Taubert captures that exact feeling in Crecer. Over a delicate melody, the young Colombian singer watches her old smiling photos and wonders “¿Cuándo dejé de sentir?” She is exhausted from putting on a brave face, hiding in her room, and crying for hours, yet she keeps repeating “Juro que estoy intentando”— a promise to keep going even when the chaos outside fogs up the beauty right in front of her.

The chorus “Qué difícil es crecer” turns into a rallying cry for anyone stumbling through their twenties (or any age, really). Taubert reminds us that the struggle is not anyone’s fault, and certainly not our own. The song feels like a soft hug mixed with a pep-talk: yes, growth hurts, but you are doing more than enough, and you are not alone. Play Crecer when you need permission to feel your emotions and the courage to keep blooming despite the mess around you!
