In La De La Mala Suerte Jesse & Joy wrap a bittersweet pop melody around a story of stubborn love and painful betrayal. The singer tells us how she once opened her heart, tasted the "forbidden apple," and believed every tender promise, only to discover that her partner keeps someone else in the room – both literally and emotionally. Feeling like she is always the unlucky one in love, she swings between craving their affection and vowing to bury the hurt for good.
Yet underneath the sorrow lies a spark of defiance. The chorus is a plea for honesty and a declaration of self-strength: if love cannot be perfect, it should at least be real. By the end, the narrator decides she deserves more than half-shared affection, longing to be “la fuerte” – the strong one – who finally breaks the cycle of bad luck. It is an anthem for anyone ready to trade heartache for self-respect, sung with the warm, soulful vocals that have made this Mexican duo beloved across the Spanish-speaking world.
