“Duele” is a fiery confession of love’s sweetest torture. TINI and John C trade verses like dancers circling a tango floor, admitting that the pull between them is irresistible even when it stings. TINI sings of waiting by the phone, craving just one more kiss, and believing that a “amor de tango nunca muere” (a tango-style love never dies). John C answers with his own frustration, torn between passion and pride while replaying memories of late-night whispers. Together they paint a picture of a relationship that is addictive, playful, and maddening all at once.
The repeated cry of “Cómo me duele” (“How it hurts”) captures the central idea: love can wound, yet the desire keeps growing. There is teasing, ghosting, and mixed signals, but also sparks that refuse to fade. It is a modern pop-urban track wrapped in the drama of an old-school tango, reminding us that sometimes the very thing that hurts the most is exactly what we cannot stop chasing.
