Flotando feels like the instant you realize you are falling in love and the world suddenly becomes lighter. Over a pulsing, dream-pop groove, Chilean singer-songwriter Francisca Valenzuela describes bumping into a soulmate and being swept into a weightless state where logic takes a back seat. She runs “fuertemente” without knowing where she is going, yet every sensation is amplified: eyes see even when closed, silence speaks, and a simple hug turns into a ticket to the clouds. The lyrics capture that famous buzz people talk about, when your mind drifts everywhere at once and reality feels half awake, half dream.
At the same time, the song is about safety and trust. Francisca admits there are “fantasmas y recuerdos,” but she finds comfort knowing the other person will still be there when she opens her eyes. Love becomes an ocean that holds her up, so pain loses its sting and nighttime fears shrink. By the final chorus, the repeated “Flotando” is not just a pretty image. It is a promise that with this connection, both hearts can rise above doubts and simply float.
