El Chisme is Carlos Baute’s playful clap-back to a relationship poisoned by gossip. Featuring Spanish powerhouse Chenoa, the song tells the story of a couple stuck in an endless loop of rumors, apologies, and mistrust. The narrator insists he has explained himself “fifty” and “sixty” times, yet his partner still believes the chismes whispered by her friends. Tired of defending his innocence, he finally throws up his hands with a cheeky “Adiós, goodbye, me fui,” deciding to hit the town and let the rumors become reality—on his own terms.
Under the track’s contagious Latin-pop groove, the lyrics raise a glass “a tu salud” to celebrate freedom from doubt and drama. What could have been a sad breakup song turns into an upbeat anthem of self-respect: if trust is gone, why not dance, toast, and enjoy life instead? With its catchy counts, playful sarcasm, and Baute-Chenoa chemistry, El Chisme reminds us that sometimes the best way to silence gossip is simply to stop caring and start living.
