Verse 1
I know that you think that
I am the worst now
That everything that happened to us
It was my fault
I won't wait this time
For you to change
Because I already decided, this time
This time, I love myself
I won't be anymore
The one who always waits for you
I can't be anymore
Without being loved
I'm going to promise myself
I won't be the same woman
The promises
The promises are for myself
I already sent you
Far away from my life
Everything that you did to me
it doesn't hurt me anymore
You'll look with whom
Or: You will look for someone
Take your things with you too
Because now, according to me
This is your farewell
Chorus 1
Alone, alone, oh
I tell you that alone I feel beautiful
Alone, alone, oh
I tell you that alone I feel beautiful
But never silent, no
Verse 2
I know that you think that
I am the worst now
That everything that happened to us
It was my fault
I won't wait this time
For you to change
Because I already decided, this time
This time, I love myself
Alone, alone, oh
I tell you that alone

SONG MEANING

Get ready to feel fearless! In “Solita Solita,” Mexican powerhouse Lila Downs mixes vibrant Regional Mexican rhythms with a message of pure self-love. The lyrics capture the moment a woman finally says “¡Basta!” to a relationship that blames her for everything. Instead of waiting for her partner to change, she packs their bags, pushes the drama far away, and turns the spotlight on herself.

The chorus “Solita me siento bonita” (“On my own I feel beautiful”) is a joyful declaration that being alone can be liberating, not lonely. With every line, Lila celebrates independence, strength, and the promise to never lose her voice again. It is a catchy anthem for anyone ready to trade heartbreak for confidence and dance their way into a brighter, self-embracing future.
