Verse 1

I thought it was mutual

Me holding love for you, and you were holding mourning for me

I was putting love into it and you were putting an end to it

I was dreaming of a forever together

Today you take me out of your matters

What were you doing with me I ask myself?

Chorus 1

If you didn’t want anything serious, why did you create illusions?

Why lie to me? Why betray me?

Me saying that I was with you

You saying around that you're single

I don’t know, I don’t get it, why did you create illusions?

Why lie to me? Why betray me?

I could try to forgive you

But there are things that aren't forgiven

Verse 2

It's hard for me to forget you, this breaks my heart

If you didn't want to fall in love, you should've said it before

It's hard for me to forget you, this breaks my heart

If you didn't want to fall in love, you should've said it before

Chorus 2

If you didn't want anything serious, why do you give hope?

Why lie to me? Why betray me?

Me saying that I was with you

You saying around that you're single

I don’t know, I don’t get it, why did you create illusions?

Why lie to me? Why betray me?

I could try to forgive you

But there are things that aren't forgiven

I could try to forgive you

But there are things that aren't

Chorus 3

If you didn't want anything serious, why do you give hope?

Why lie to me? Why betray me?

Me saying that I was with you

You saying around that you're single

I don’t know, I don’t get it, why did you create illusions?

Why lie to me? Why betray me?

I could try to forgive you

But there are things that aren't forgiven

I could try to forgive you

But there are things that aren't forgiven

SONG MEANING

“Mutuo” bursts open with lively Norteño accordion riffs, yet the story it tells is anything but festive. The title means mutual, but the singer quickly realizes their love was anything but shared. He invested tenderness while she was already writing the ending, leaving him to wonder why she bothered to spark hope if she never wanted something serious. Every catchy hook drips with frustration as he asks again and again: ¿pa’ qué ilusionas? ¿pa’ qué mentirme? ¿pa’ qué traicionas?

Behind the upbeat groove, Grupo Frontera and Carin León paint a relatable portrait of betrayal. The narrator is torn between trying to forgive and accepting that some wounds will never heal. His heartache is raw—me está costando olvidarte—yet the song becomes a fierce call for honesty in relationships. “Mutuo” proves that a two-step rhythm can deliver a powerful lesson: real love needs truth on both sides, or the dance ends in heartbreak.
