Have you ever lost track of time in someone’s company? “Simplemente Gracias” is Calibre 50’s joyful confession of exactly that feeling. The singer marvels at how fate (or maybe heaven) finally let him find a partner who sees the world through a bright, positive lens. He’s enchanted by every detail—lunares (beauty marks), scars, and an infectious smile—so much that he promises to remember her true self if she ever forgets. Backed by the group’s trademark accordion and bajo quinto, the song feels like a personal serenade straight from the heart of Mexico.
The second half is a vow of lifelong protection and gratitude. The narrator boldly claims he would invent her if she didn’t exist, cure every fear that haunts her, and even steal the stars for her if the night sky looks too empty. These vivid promises turn ordinary thank-yous into heroic gestures, painting love as both tender and epic. In the end, the message is beautifully simple: “You are my reason, my peace, my sun, my harvest—thank you, simply, for staying by my side.”
Formed in 2010 in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, Mexico, Calibre 50 has become one of the most streamed names in regional Mexican music. Known for their dynamic fusion of norteño and banda styles, they feature unique instrumentation like the sousaphone, setting them apart in the norteño-banda genre.
Led today by vocalist and accordionist Beto Gastélum, the band has broken records with 27 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Regional Mexican Airplay chart. Their music spans a variety of styles from corridos and rancheras to cumbias and ballads, making them a versatile force in contemporary Mexican music.
