Cries in Spanish is Becky G and DannyLux turning heartbreak into a sierreño confession, complete with wistful guitars and raw, conversational Spanish. Becky imagines an alternate ending where the relationship never fell apart, asking playful yet painful questions like “¿Si aún fuera tu morra, qué no haríamos?” She day-dreams about still being her ex’s “drug” and “whole life,” only to snap back to reality and realize he is gone. The back-and-forth between dreamy what-ifs and blunt realizations gives the song a tug-of-war feeling that any heartbroken listener can relate to.

At its core, the track is about doubting the truth of past love. Repeating lines such as “Según yo era tu droga… dime por qué no estás aquí” highlight the narrator’s disbelief that someone who once seemed addicted to her could simply walk away. Colloquial phrases like “al chile” (honestly) make the pain sound candid and unfiltered, while the bilingual title nods to Becky G’s bicultural identity. The result is a cathartic, sing-along lament that invites learners to explore contemporary Mexican slang, question the reliability of memory, and feel the universal sting of a love that might never have been real.
