Gabito Ballesteros turns a broken heart into a fiery corrido-pop confession in “Cuento De Hadas.” The narrator dreamed of a fairy-tale romance, but reality hits hard when his girlfriend trades loyalty for clout, luxury bags, and TikTok fame. With playful sarcasm, he compares her cheating to a unicorn’s horn and mocks her obsession with heels, a Birkin, and ‘ramo buchón’ flower bouquets. Each punchy line exposes how social-media vanity and quick cash have replaced genuine love, leaving his once-bright future “all lost.”
Under the catchy guitars lies a rant full of modern references that any Gen-Z listener will spot. Dropped calls on Telcel, vanished edits set to Madonna, and fantasies of YouTuber wealth paint a picture of a relationship hijacked by status chasing. By the end, Gabito calls out her shallow price tag—“five pesos”—and tells her to toss the chocolates and cute gestures away. The song blends humor, frustration, and cultural nods to show that fairy tales can crumble fast when materialism takes center stage.
