El Correcto feels like a lively heart-to-heart between close friends who know each other a little too well. Reik and Carin León step into the role of the loyal confidant who kept saying “Te lo advertí” — I warned you — while their friend ran off with the wrong guy. Every line is a playful I-told-you-so, spiced up with Mexican slang, as the singers remind her that the other guy was “un pendejo” and that they were “el correcto” all along.
Behind the teasing, the song carries a warm offer of comfort. The narrator may be frustrated, but he is ready to fix her broken heart “a besitos” and prove he is the real deal. It is an upbeat pop track that mixes swagger with genuine care, encouraging listeners to spot red flags sooner and appreciate the people who truly have their back — often the ones who were right in front of them the whole time.
