SONG MEANING

Grab a tiny glass and pull up a barstool, because Copita De Licor is pure Colombian heartbreak served neat. Alzate teams up with the legendary Darío Gómez to pour out a tale of love gone spectacularly wrong: the singer feels betrayed by a “princesa” who has “ruined his whole life.” He swears he has been “the best of men,” yet life pays him back with pain, leaving him stunned as his tears mingle with a little cup of liquor. The repeated question “¿Quién se inventó el amor?” turns the song into a bittersweet rant against the very idea of love, highlighting the irony of romance that promises happiness but so often delivers sorrow.

Musically, the track blends modern Colombian ranchera with pop accents, creating the perfect backdrop for a good session of despecho—that special brand of Latin heartache. Every chorus invites listeners to raise their own glass, sing along, and share in the catharsis. Behind the sobs and the swagger lies a universal message: when love wounds us, we sometimes look for comfort at the bottom of a cup, but the real relief comes from singing our pain out loud and realizing we are not alone.
