“Hola, ¿qué tal?” is Beret’s bittersweet postcard to a love that never quite became reality. Opening with the casual greeting of a text you should probably never send, the Spanish singer confesses that his life feels like a mess while he can’t stop picturing perfect moments with the person he lost. He brings flowers to what we never were, imagines dancing without a care, and dreams of diving into the sea hand in hand — all to say “you’re the best thing I’ve ever lost.”
The song drifts between regret and daydream, painting parallel universes where the couple does last forever. Each verse is a tug-of-war: he knows he shouldn’t reach out, yet hope keeps sneaking back in. With tender imagery, catchy melodies, and raw honesty, Beret turns unfulfilled love into a heartfelt anthem that reminds us how powerful “what-ifs” can be — and how hard it is to let go when someone still feels like home.
