SOG and Piso 21 bring us a track about turning the tables after a breakup. Our singer was once head-over-heels, ready to "apostar todo" [bet everything] on this person, even if it meant being "en la ruina" [in ruins]. He remembers chasing after them, feeling the pain of unrequited love.
But oh, how things have changed! Now, the ex is the one crying, and our singer knows exactly how that feels because he's been there. He's not wishing them ill, but he points out that "el karma se encargó de ti" [karma took care of you]. He's moved on, realizing that "de amor nadie se muere" [nobody dies from love] and that he "gané cuando te perdí" [won when I lost you]. It's a powerful anthem about healing, self-worth, and the sweet, sweet taste of knowing you're better off without someone who didn't appreciate you.
