Where've you been all this time?

Now that I'm free like Tempo

Drop me the location of the feelings

Even if it's just to swing by and see them

And tell me, what did I do to you?

Your friends, what do they tell you?

The mother-in-law, why does she curse me?

If I only wanted to make you happy

I miss you so much

See you, eat you

I laid all the cards

I leave it up to luck

I miss you so much

See you eat you

I laid all the cards

I leave it up to luck

I only laugh when I read it

That you two broke up, I don't believe you

Straight up, I'm no cowboy

The feelings, like a valet, I park them

You emigrated

You packed up and threw the time away

Nobody gives it back to you without a receipt

Even more if it was for a fling

I won't deny that you're hot

You're like a Nobel Prize in Literature

You swear that you'll come back in style

And I'm going to confess like a priest

We go into the room

And they censor this part

I miss you so much

See you, eat you

I put all the cards

I leave it up to luck

I miss you so much

See you, eat you

I put all the cards

I leave it up to luck

If you're dating

Why do you check my stories?

You know my number by heart

You can change the course of this story

Everything's done in your coldness

So much, what for?, if I'm empty

And I don't even laugh at the jokes anymore

If you were my Tokyo and I your Rio

Where've you been all this time?

Now that I'm free like Tempo

Drop me the location of the feelings

Even if it's just to swing by and see them

And tell me, what did I do to you?

Your friends, what do they tell you?

The mother-in-law, why does she curse me?

If I only wanted to make you happy

I miss you so much

See you eat you

I put all the cards

I leave it up to luck

I miss you so much

See you, eat you

I put all the cards

I leave it up to luck

SONG MEANING

In "Suerte", J Balvin paints the picture of a lovesick narrator who has suddenly found himself single and reflective. Now that he is “free como Tempo,” he realizes how much he still craves the presence of an old flame. He scrolls through memories, asks for the ubi (location) of her feelings, and wonders why her friends – and even her mom – seem to be against him. The lyrics bounce between playful swagger and genuine vulnerability: one moment he compares her to a Nobel Prize in literature, the next he admits that without her he no longer laughs at jokes.

At its heart, the song is a plea to destiny. Balvin says he has “put all the cards on the table” and now leaves the outcome to la suerte (luck). Despite her new relationship and the distance created when she emigrated, he sees signs that she still checks up on him. The repeated line “Me hace tanta falta verte, comerte” captures the mix of romantic longing and physical desire that fuels the track. By weaving in modern references like La Casa de Papel (Tokyo and Río), Balvin turns a timeless heartbreak story into a relatable, contemporary anthem where hope, nostalgia, and rhythm keep the listener dancing while rooting for love’s second chance.
