SONG MEANING
Traicionera takes us straight into the whirlwind of a love-hate dance. Colombian pop star Sebastián Yatra describes a captivating woman who collects broken hearts like souvenirs. The narrator feels the magnetic pull of her reggaetón moves, yet he keeps his guard up because her only mission seems to be making lovers “die of love.” Every time she says “te amo,” he rolls his eyes; he already knows she is a mentirosa (liar) who enjoys the chase more than the commitment.
Despite the upbeat rhythm and club-ready beat, the song is really a warning label for anyone tempted by flashy charm. Yatra flips the usual love song script by refusing to fall for false promises. He calls her “pasajera” – just a temporary passenger in his life – and vows that her betrayal will not sink him. The result is a catchy anthem that lets you dance, sing, and learn a few Spanish words about trust, heartbreak, and self-respect all at once.
