Ever wondered what happens when heartbreak meets a bottle of tequila and a devil-may-care attitude toward love? “Prefiero Empedarme” is Fuerza Regida’s raw confession of a man who has grown weary of pretending he is still in love. Tired of spinning lies, he owns up to his emotional baggage, blames his darker traits on “herencia,” and decides that drowning his sorrows in liquor and fleeting company is easier than facing a relationship he no longer wants.
Rather than begging an ex to return, the narrator chooses to watch her sadness from afar, numbing his own with wine and “damas pasajeras”—temporary romances that keep real feelings at bay. It is a bittersweet anthem that mixes swagger with vulnerability: beneath the bravado of endless drinks and casual flings lies a man who recognizes his flaws yet feels destined to repeat them. Listeners are left with a vivid portrait of modern machismo grappling with regret, set to the gritty corridos-tumbados sound that has made Fuerza Regida a cross-border sensation.
Fuerza Regida is a dynamic Regional Mexican band originating from San Bernardino, California, blending influences from both the United States and Mexico. Since their formation in 2015 as a cover band, they have evolved into pioneers of the corridos tumbados subgenre, expertly mixing traditional norteño sounds with modern urban and electronic elements.
Led by Jesús Ortíz Paz, alongside Samuel Jáimez, Khrystian Ramos, José "Pelón" García, and Moisés López, Fuerza Regida has released multiple top-charting albums, including Del Barrio Hasta Aquí and Adicto. Their hits like "Bebe Dame" and "Harley Quinn" have achieved significant acclaim in both the US and Mexico, earning them several Billboard Music and Latin Music Awards. With a bold approach to traditional Mexican music and contemporary themes, they continue to expand their influence and captivate a growing international audience.
