Verse 1
I have in this story something to confess
I already understood very well what happened
And although it hurts so much, I have to accept
That you're not the bad one, that the bad one is me
You never knew me really
Or: You never really knew me
The magic that made you fall in love is already gone
Lit: Already is gone the magic that made you fall in love
And I wouldn't want to be in your place
Lit: And it's that I wouldn't want to be in your place
Because your mistake was only meeting me
Chorus 1
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
I don't want to make you suffer
It's better to forget and leave it like this
Throw me the blame
Or: Blame me
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
I don't want to make you suffer
It's better to forget and leave it like this
Throw me the blame
Chorus 2
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
I don't want to make you suffer
It's better to forget and leave it like this
Throw me the blame
Or: Blame me
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
I don't want to make you suffer
It's better to forget and leave it like this
Throw me the blame
Bridge 1
You only lack one kiss
Or: All you need is a kiss
You only lack one kiss
That kiss that I always promised you
Throw me the blame
You only lack one kiss
You only lack one kiss
That kiss that I always promised you
Throw me the blame
Chorus 3
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
I don't want to make you suffer
It's better to forget and leave it like this
Throw me the blame
It's not you, it's not you, it's not you, it's me
I don't want to make you suffer
It's better to forget and leave it like this
Throw me the blame
Bridge 2
You only lack one kiss
You only lack one kiss
That kiss that I always promised you
Throw me the blame
Or: Blame me
You only lack one kiss
You only lack one kiss
That kiss that I always promised you
Throw me the blame

SONG MEANING

“Échame La Culpa” is a sparkling bilingual pop duet where Luis Fonsi teams up with Demi Lovato to turn a painful breakup into a dance-floor confession. Over lively Latin rhythms, Fonsi admits he’s the one who ruined the magic—“no eres tú, soy yo”—and begs his partner to ease the heartache by simply “putting the blame on me.” The song’s playful attitude, mixed Spanish-English lyrics, and cheeky Beatles reference (“play me like The Beatles, baby, just let it be”) show that sometimes the easiest way to move on is to own the fault and keep the groove going.

Rather than wallow in sadness, the track transforms remorse into an irresistible party anthem. Both singers trade verses acknowledging that love’s spark has faded, but they refuse to fight or fake feelings any longer. The repeated promise of “solamente te falta un beso” (you’re only missing one kiss) adds a bittersweet touch—one last kiss that will never happen—while the upbeat melody reminds listeners that letting go can be liberating. In short, “Échame La Culpa” turns the classic “it’s not you, it’s me” breakup line into a catchy celebration of accountability, closure, and the power of music to make even heartbreak feel like a reason to dance.
