Chorus 1
It doesn't hurt anymore like before, no
The wound of your love healed
Once and for all
I am stronger alone
And it's that I don't regret the past
I know that the time by your side cut off my wings
But now this chest is bulletproof
Verse 1
I don't have you, I have myself
It's not for you to think that this is for you
I left so that you don't forget
From a death like you one can be revived
That from a death like your love one can be reborn
When the last sea dries up
It's when I will think about returning
It's understood what I feel
You're not here, how good is the time
I'm healed of you, I told you already
I don't feel you here anymore, I don't feel you anymore
You never knew, you didn't know how to value me, and
Chorus 2
Once and for all
I am stronger alone
It's that I don't regret the past
I know that the time by your side cut off my wings
But now this chest is bulletproof

SONG MEANING

Selena Gomez invites us into a glowing moment of rebirth in her Spanish-language pop gem, “De Una Vez.” Over gentle, dreamy beats inspired by Latin bolero, she looks back at a love that once clipped her wings and calmly declares that the wound has closed. No more pain, no more regret. Instead, she celebrates the freedom of relying on herself: “No te tengo a ti, me tengo a mí” – I do not have you, I have myself. The song’s central image, an “antibalas” (bulletproof) heart, turns her vulnerability into shimmering armor.

Far from a bitter breakup track, “De Una Vez” feels like lighting a candle for self-love. Selena thanks the past for its lessons, yet makes it clear she will not return until “the last ocean dries.” The result is a soothing yet empowering anthem that blends her Mexican roots with contemporary pop, reminding learners that closure can sound soft, sweet, and irresistibly confident.
