Feel the rush of a secret crush! In “De Qué Manera,” Colombian singer Mike Bahía turns everyday pop into a diary of heart-pounding suspense. The lyrics follow someone who is hopelessly in love with a close friend: his breath stops when she looks at him, his mind races with daydreams of stealing a kiss, yet fear keeps him silent. Between playful guitar licks and urban beats, he confesses how hard it is to pretend everything is fine while she talks about another guy.
At its core, the song is a tug-of-war between desire and fear. He wants to shout his feelings, but staying in the “friend zone” is the only way to remain near her. Cupid’s arrow has clearly misfired, leaving him stuck in an aching limbo where fantasy feels more real than reality. Mike Bahía captures that bittersweet mix of hope, jealousy, and vulnerability that anyone with an unspoken crush will instantly recognize.
