Verse 1
I blocked you on Instagram
But I see your stories through another account
I deleted your number
I don't know why if I know it by heart
Or: I don't know what if I know it by heart
You hurt me
And still I miss you
And although I know that one day I'll forget you
I haven't yet
It's complicated
I like remembering everything that we did
Chorus 1
I'm driving through the streets
Where you kissed me
Listening to the songs
That you once dedicated to me
I'd tell you to come back
But that's not something you ask for
I'd rather ask God to protect me
Because I'm driving through the streets
Where you kissed me
Listening to the songs
That you once dedicated to me
I'd tell you to come back
But that's not something you ask for
I'd rather ask God to protect me
Verse 2
I blocked you on Instagram
But I see your stories through another account
I deleted your number
I don't know why if I know it by heart
Chorus 2
You hurt me
And still I miss you
And even though I know one day I'll forget you
I haven't yet
It's complicated
I like remembering everything that we did
I'm driving through the streets
Where you kissed me
Listening to the songs
That you once dedicated to me
I'd tell you to come back
But that's not something you ask for
I'd rather ask God to protect me
Chorus 3
Because I'm driving through the streets
Where you kissed me
Listening to the songs
That you once dedicated to me
I'd tell you to come back
But that's not something you ask for
I'd rather ask God to protect me

SONG MEANING

La Bachata is a bittersweet confession from someone who just can’t hit “delete” on a past love. Even after blocking their ex on Instagram and erasing the phone number, the singer still memorizes every detail, sneaks back to watch stories, and drives through the same streets where those unforgettable kisses once happened. Each familiar corner and every song the ex once dedicated becomes a soundtrack that keeps the memories alive.

Behind the catchy, dance-ready norteño-bachata fusion lies a tug-of-war between nostalgia and self-preservation. The narrator knows that healing will eventually come yet admits, “Aún no lo hago… Es complicado.” Instead of begging the ex to return, he turns to faith, asking God for protection while he learns to let go. It’s a relatable portrait of modern heartbreak: scrolling, blocking, “accidental” story-viewing, and that restless drive through memory-laden streets, all wrapped in a melody that makes you want to sway even as it tugs at your heart.
